Dr Rocky Cheng, CEO of Cyberport, stated: “Innovative technologies like AI not only unleash creative potential and drive innovation in the cultural, arts, and entertainment industries, but also play a crucial role in promoting social inclusion and bridging the digital divide. For instance, the ‘Elderly e-Sport Tournament’ allows seniors to engage in eSport, enjoying the fun of digital entertainment while enhancing their digital skills and fostering intergenerational connections. This makes technology truly beneficial to communities of all ages and backgrounds. Today, AI has become a core engine for industry transformation, reshaping creative processes, business models, and user experiences.

Following the screening, Pax Chen, Founder and CEO of FizzDragon — the film’s production company and a Cyberport community member, and Tony Ngai, Honorary Advisor of the Hong Kong Society of Cinematographers, shared their insights and challenges in producing a film with AI. The session also featured the screening of five short films from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s AI Film Festival, demonstrating the fusion of innovative technology and creative vision, and underscoring the profound impact of AI technology on the film and visual arts sector.

In addition, the Re:VISS AI Film Fest 2025 cum Awards Ceremony, themed “Revolutionising Visual Storytelling, Transforming Creative Expression Through AI”, was held at DELF. The event attracted hundreds of local and overseas creators to share ideas and insights. A special “Director‑Student Jam” segment was introduced to pass on Hong Kong’s cinematic creative spirit, further advancing AI filmmaking and nurturing talent in the field.

Elderly Esports Breaks the Digital Divide and Enhances Seniors’ Well‑Being

Ara Institute of Canterbury has secured a significant share of a nationwide nursing education investment, with more than $218,000 in support earmarked for ākonga (students) through a new partnership with Southern Cross Health Trust.

Dr Michael Shone, Dean of Faculty – Health, Science and Sustainability at Ara, said the initiative was a transformative moment for nursing education in Canterbury.

“This is a game-changer – not just for the scholarship recipients, but for every Bachelor of Nursing ākonga walking through our doors next year. Southern Cross Health Trust’s investment will ease financial pressure, boost wellbeing and help set them up for success. We’re deeply grateful for their commitment to our learners and our community,” he said.

Nine Ara Bachelor of Nursing students will receive Southern Cross Nursing Scholarships worth up to $30,740 each – injecting $92,200 directly into students’ hands in 2026.

Each scholarship package includes up to $5,000 per year toward fees, $500 per week during placements, a $500 annual wellbeing allowance, and $240 for their final Nursing Council exam.

Beyond financial support, recipients will gain priority clinical placements in Southern Cross hospitals, access to mentorships with experienced nurses and opportunities for part-time roles and extension learning.

Southern Cross Health Trust is also funding a comprehensive student support package for Ara’s entire bachelor nursing cohort, including a $300 voucher for uniforms and shoes for first-year students (valued at $126,000) and a starter kit for students featuring a branded nurses watch, tote bag, pen and notebook (valued at $24,000).

Together, these initiatives represent a $218,220 investment in the future of nursing in Canterbury.

Southern Cross Healthcare Chief Nursing Officer Monica Goldwater said the programme reflected the organisation’s ongoing commitment to New Zealand’s nurses.

“We know that highly skilled, supported nurses are at the heart of great healthcare,” she said. “Through these scholarships, we’re investing in the ongoing education and development of our nurses, and in doing so, we’re helping ensure New Zealanders can continue to access exceptional care now and into the future.”

The Southern Cross Nursing Scholarship Programme was first launched in partnership with Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in 2025. Now in its second year, the programme has expanded to include six tertiary providers across Aotearoa, with more than 50 scholarships to be awarded in 2026.

Ara’s allocation – nine scholarships and support for more than 800 students – represents one of the largest regional investments in the programme to date.

All first year Bachelor of Nursing Students at AUT, University of Waikato, Western Institute of Technology, Whitireia – WelTec, Ara, and Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) will also receive a $300 uniform and shoe voucher and, where access to vaccines is not already provided, be eligible for a funded flu vaccine courtesy of Southern Cross wellness partners.

In total, Southern Cross Health Trust is investing more than $1 million into supporting New Zealand nursing students in 2026.

Southern Cross Health Trust and Southern Cross Healthcare CEO Chris White said the organisation was proud to be growing its investment in the Nursing Scholarship Programme.

“Increasing the number of scholarships and geographical spread of the programme reflects our commitment to supporting New Zealand’s future nursing workforce.”

Kicking off Eden Park’s full potential

LiveNews Publisher

September 15, 2025

Source: New Zealand Government

The Government wants to boost Eden Park’s status as a major events venue and is starting an investigation into changing the local rules that could be holding it back, RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop and Tourism Minister Louise Upston say.

“Eden Park, with a seating capacity of about 50,000 seats, is New Zealand’s largest major events stadium. Concerts and major sporting events held at Eden Park inject millions of dollars into Auckland’s economy from locals and visitors alike – but current planning rules could be holding Eden Park back from doing more,” Ms Upston says.

“Last summer Auckland’s economy received a boost of nearly $32 million from several big concerts. These events created jobs and had local hospitality businesses humming.

“We want to see more events like these, and the Government’s $70 million events and tourism investment package announced yesterday will allow New Zealand to compete with Australia to host big events and will give international visitors even more reasons to come and explore New Zealand, while also encouraging Kiwis to get out and about.”

“But we need to make sure that our planning rules are fit for purpose,” Mr Bishop says.

“We’ve heard that there are local rules and constraints around Eden Park that could be restricting its ability to host events.

“For example, Eden Park is only allowed to host six artists playing a total of 12 shows per year. These shows can only take place on certain days of the week, can only have a maximum duration of five hours, have to be finished by 11pm on weekdays, and can host no more than four concerts in a four-week period.

“Sporting events face many barriers too. The stadium is currently not allowed to host more than 25 night-time sporting events per year, and they can only be between 7.30pm and 9.30 pm on weekdays (except for cricket which can go until 10pm). Sporting events can’t take place on Sunday evenings.

“And despite the stadium’s huge capacity, conferences can’t have more than 2000 people.”

Mr Bishop says he will be holding an investigation into whether these rules around events at Eden Park are negatively impacting economic growth, with the potential to make direct changes to those rules if it is found that they are.

“This investigation will be conducted under the new regulation-making power in the Resource Management Act, recently passed into law through the Resource Management (Consenting and Other System Changes) Amendment Bill.

“The regulation-making power enables the Minister Responsible for RMA Reform to remove or modify provisions in RMA plans where they negatively impact economic growth, development capacity or employment.

“There are steps and safeguards associated with the use of this power. The Minister must investigate the impacts of the provisions and whether specified statutory criteria are met, and produce a report which must be made publicly available.

“The Minister must then report to Cabinet with the findings, for a final decision on any changes to the Auckland Unitary Plan. Further details will be announced in the coming weeks.”

Note to editor:

Under the Auckland Unitary Plan, Eden Park’s current restrictions include:

For organised sports and recreation activities
•    No more than 25 night-time events per year
•    Nighttime events (with ‘night-time’ defined as starting 30 mins prior to sunset) are only permitted between 7.30pm and 9.30 pm on weekdays, except for cricket which may go until 10pm
•    No events on a Sunday night
•    No more than four night-time events in a 35-day period
•    No daytime activity when a nighttime event is held

For concerts
•    No more than 12 concerts per year
•    No Sunday concerts (unless the Sunday precedes a public holiday, or as a contingency date for postponement)
•    Permitted weekday operating hours are 7.30pm – 11pm (6.30pm start allowed for supporting acts, but main act must start no earlier than 7.30pm). Events have a maximum duration of five hours.
•    Permitted weekend operating hours are 10am – 11pm. Events have a maximum duration of six hours.
•    No more than four concerts in a four-week period
•    One weekend free of concerts or other events every five weeks

For functions, meetings and conferences
• Must not exceed 2,000 people

Lower North Island state highway summer maintenance season is underway

LiveNews Publisher

September 15, 2025

Source: New Zealand Transport Agency

Road resurfacing and rebuilds are already underway as the state highway summer maintenance season gets underway in the Wellington region.

The Wellington Transport Alliance will be resurfacing 35.6 kilometres of highway with asphalt and rebuilding another 5.2 kilometres. In addition, 13.9 kilometres of chipseal resurfacing will be carried out across the region.

Wellington/Hutt Valley

Roxanne Hilliard, Wellington Transport Alliance Manager, says drivers can expect to see significant improvements on State Highway 2 in the Hutt Valley in the lead-up to Christmas.

‘We have an extensive resurfacing programme planned from Lower Hutt to Upper Hutt. Work crews will be at multiple sites from Petone all the way north to Totara Park.”

“Drivers can expect night closures and local road detours through the Hutt Valley while this work is underway,” Ms Hilliard says.

She says drivers can also expect to see more work on the urban motorway, Johnsonville to Tawa, and also between the Wellington CBD and Rongotai.

Kāpiti Coast

Ms Hilliard says work has already begun on State Highway 1 in Kuku.

“We have road rebuild works underway at Kuku. This will be followed by road rebuild at Ohau, beginning later this month.”

“We also have resurfacing work planned for Paekākāriki, Mackays Crossing, Raumati and Plimmerton,” Ms Hilliard says.

Wairarapa

Ms Hilliard says, like last year, more road rebuilds are planned for State Highway 2, Wairarapa, around April and May of next year. More details on these will be shared when their timing is confirmed.

Travel advice

Ms Hilliard appreciates the summer state highway maintenance programme is disruptive work.

“Digging up and rebuilding a highway is impactful and extensive work. Resurfacing also creates delays for the public.”

“However, the benefits are long-term. Making a major investment now reduces the need for future maintenance and ongoing regular repairs,” Ms Hilliard says.

Ms Hilliard says with all the work planned; drivers must be ready for road works, and the travel delays they can cause.

“Plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey. It is important to respect road workers and speed limits in place at road works sites.”

Why summer maintenance?

Ms Hilliard says spring, summer, and early autumn are the times when most roadworks have to happen.

“To be effective and durable, road resurfacing must be done during the warmer, drier months. Wet and cold conditions are not suitable for completing permanent and durable road repairs.”

Update: State Highway 1 rebuild in Ōhau starting soon

LiveNews Publisher

September 15, 2025

Source: New Zealand Transport Agency

UPDATE 9 September: Due to recent poor weather, the start date for this road rebuild has changed.

It will now start a week later from Tuesday 23 September. Not Monday 15 September as was previously indicated.

Revised work schedule

Tuesday 23 September to Friday 3 October. Sunday to Thursday nights, 8pm to 4:30am (weather permitting)
- Stop/Go Traffic management and 30 km/h temporary speed limit.
- Traffic management set up will be from 6:30pm.
- A temporary speed limit will also apply outside of work hours.

5 September

The next road rebuild work for Ōhau is about to get underway on State Highway 1.

It follows similar work currently being completed on State Highway 1, near Kuku.

Media release 15 August 2025 – Drainage works and road rebuild planned for State Highway 1 at Kuku

Road crews will be on site at Ōhau, near Muhunoa West/East Roads for up to two weeks of night works, starting Monday, 15 September.

The state highway rebuild will be underway Sunday to Thursday nights from 8 pm to 4.30 am. No work will be done between Friday morning and Sunday evening.

Roxanne Hilliard, Wellington Transport Alliance Manager, says the section of the state highway has reached the end of its life.

“It is at a stage where standard repairs are no longer suitable or effective long-term.”

“What we are going to do is complete a full road rebuild. This requires a full excavation of the road and then reconstructing it from the ground up. The end result is a much more durable pavement, one that will need less maintenance in the future,” Ms Hilliard says.

She says that rebuilds are more disruptive than standard road maintenance and resurfacing because of the excavation and construction involved.

“Stop/Go traffic management will be in place at night, and temporary speed limits will be active during the day.”

“This does mean drivers can expect travel delays while the project is underway, particularly between Muhunoa West Road and Victoria Terrace. We appreciate this may cause some frustration, but a road rebuild like this cannot be done without affecting the community.”

Ms Hilliard asks that people be patient and respect the traffic management in place.

“Heavy machinery will be operating, and it is important everyone, workers and the public, are kept safe.”

“There will be some short-term pain from these works, but they will be more than offset by the long-term gain of having a much-improved road surface.”

The rebuild will affect access to State Highway 1 from Bishops Road. For safety reasons, it will be closed to traffic at night. Bishops Road residents will have to access State Highway 1 via Muhunoa East Road instead.

Revised work schedule and location

Monday, 15 September to Friday, 26 September. Sunday to Thursday nights, 8 pm to 4:30 am (weather permitting)

Stop/Go Traffic management and 30 km/h temporary speed limit.
A temporary speed limit will also apply outside of work hours.
