However the black flags at Little Shoal Bay and Kendall Bay (Kauri Point Centennial Park) are due to a known sewage leak in the vicinity of Chelsea Estate Heritage Park/Chelsea Sugar Factory. These warnings will be staying in place until the issue is resolved. So please treat this seriously and stay out of the water along that part of the coastline.

I'd like to turn my basement into some sort of a hobby room/workshop area. Rather annoyingly though there is what i can only guess is some sort of reinforcing in the form of soil.

First of all i would like to know if it's possible to remove the soil and in it's place replace it with some sort of concrete reinforcing.
Secondly, if that is even possible what sort of work would be required? Is it a matter of concrete reinforcing in the form of spray-on concrete or would it be steel rods with concrete etc.

Thank you :)

Here's what you need to know:
- Surface and/or flash flooding is possible, especially about streams, rivers or narrow valleys - this may also lead to slips.
- Driving conditions will be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.
- Thunderstorm activity is expected to ease in Auckland in the early evening of Tuesday.

For information on preparing for and keeping safe during a storm, see the Civil Defence Get Ready website.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11:20am Update: There is flooding on West Coast beaches, and schools have been evacuated due to flooding.
12pm Update: Auckland Mayor declares State of Emergency. “I am urging Aucklanders to remain calm but be vigilant. Please stay away from floodwaters and open drains. It is important that you follow the official advice of Auckland Emergency Management and Auckland Transport.”
