People who find themselves jobless as a result of Covid-19 can flock to Auckland libraries for a helping hand.

They can get practical support with their CVs and cover letters, viewing job websites, discussing skill sets or free online training through Lynda.com

Library staff will also connect Aucklanders with skills development, education and training courses.

Auckland Council library staff are being up-skilled to provide employment and skills advice to their communities using the new Work Navigator service piloted by the Te Manawa community hub in Westgate.

The goal is to help people recover from job losses caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The libraries involved in phase 1 of the region wide Work Navigator rollout are Botany, Central City, Glen Eden, Glenfield, Helensville, Māngere East, Manukau, Mt Albert, Mt Roskill, and Ōtāhuhu.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff said the initiative provides extra support for people who may have lost work because of Covid-19.

"The pandemic and resulting recession has caused businesses to close and jobs to be lost in our region," he said.

"We want to do what we can to help Aucklanders find work or gain skills to improve their employment options, and through this programme our libraries staff are well placed to deliver those services."

The City Rail Link's tunnel boring machine has arrived in Auckland after a voyage of more than 9000 km from China.

Dubbed Dame Whina Cooper, the machine will excavate the rail tunnels for the city's largest ever transport infrastructure project.

It was shipped from its factory in southern China on board the BBC Orion and will be trucked to the City Rail Link site in Mt Eden for reassembly.

City Rail Link Ltd chief executive Dr Sean Sweeney said the machine's arrival signals an important transition for the project.

It marks a symbolic crossover from those enabling works to the complex and hefty job of finishing our tunnels and stations, he said.

"Construction is ramping up quickly."

People are invited to the see the machine close up at an open day planned for December.

More details will be announced next month.

The tunnel boring machine will be used to excavate two 1.6 km tunnels from Mt Eden to the CBD to link with the tunnels already dug from Britomart Station.

Work will start later this week on excavation of the first 51 metres of the tunnel at Mt Eden.

Excavation of the cavern and trench will make room for the machine to take over mining.

People will be able to keep track of Dame Whina Cooper's progress when tunneling begins.

An on-line link will measure the journey below Auckland in real time.

Hi

My partner and I are looking to buy a 2-3 bedroom house anywhere in inner Auckland (ideally Arch Hill, Pt Chev, Kingsland, Sandringham, Mt Eden or surrounds). If any one is thinking of selling soon or knows someone who might be, and would like to avoid the 3-5% real estate agency fees or having to clean up their property for open homes - let us know. We have been looking for a while now and have a realistic understanding of how high house prices are at the moment. We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks very much

To see the gauge in action, visit www.watercare.co.nz

If you’re on tank water, when did you last look inside your tank? If you rely on rain to keep your household taps flowing, toilet flushing or stock watered, now’s a good time to check your levels, monitor your usage and look at booking a top-up early. Secure your water future by investing in an additional tank.
