Upgrading Waterloo Quay level crossing | 13 to 30 April
We’re upgrading the busy northern Waterloo Quay level crossing to make it better able to withstand earthquakes and flooding, safer, and easier for vehicles to cross. If you’re travelling in the area (including to the ferries and Westpac Stadium) please allow extra time and follow the detours. If you live or work locally, we apologise for the inconvenience and will work as quietly as we can. Thanks for your patience while we carry out this essential work.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
