Community Planting Day this Sunday at Western Springs Lakeside Te Waiōrea
Please join us for a community day, planting native trees in the forest at Western Springs Lakeside Te Waiōrea.
We'll start at 9.30am, rain or shine. Bring some closed-toe shoes, weather-protective clothing, a bottle of drinking water, and a spade and gloves if you have them.
Protect our parks from kauri dieback: Bring only clean footwear and equipment with you.
Meet us on the north side of the lake beside the weir (about 40 meters west of the public toilets).
Your hard work will help to grow this urban ngāhere (forest), creating new habitat for native birds and other wildlife in the park.
After the planting, stay and get to know others from the community and join us for some free kai!
If you would like to help out, please RSVP with the Community Liaison Team by emailing westernsprings@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or clc@kotahiprojects.com or calling 0272678818

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 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).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

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.
