Have you checked your lifejacket?
Boaties are being urged to check their lifejackets before going out on the water.
Old kapok lifejackets, not made since the 1980s, are still being discovered even though they should have been destroyed by now. Gas cylinders in inflatable lifejackets can also corrode and leak if they are not checked.
Manufacturers recommend that lifejackets should be replaced after 10 years.

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).

Mid Town WaterCare Works start October - Info for Residents
Mid Town WaterCare works are starting in October. To cater for growth, reduce wastewater overflows to our moana, & improve wastewater capacity.
This is by installing pipes, via bored tunnels, deep beneath Queen St, Mayoral Dr, Vincent, Marmion & White Streets.
Wastewater has to be maintained, if not future proofed and upgraded, there's no doubt about that. But it's also difficult to not be disappointed to have another 2+ year project in the Waihorotiu/Queen St Valley with significant construction impacts in 4 areas. If your building is none of these four areas, make sure your building manager and/or Body Corp is in touch with Watercare for all the info on how you might be affected, and what they are doing to mitigate impacts.
