Shepherds Park and Hellyers Creek Reserve Tracks
This week the Kaipatiki Local Board workshop includes an update and options for the long-awaited upgrade of the tracks in Shepherds Park and Hellyers Creek Reserve. Attached are maps showing the proposed stages of work, and some options for track surfacing. The upgrade stages would be constructed from 2021 to 2024.
The funding for the additional bridges/boardwalks that were consulted on has been pushed out by a few years by council's emergency budget.
The workshop item will be held this Wednesday from 2:30pm to 4pm at the Local Board boardroom in the same building as the Glenfield Library.
All are welcome to attend and listen to the information and discussion, but if you would like the opportunity to address the local board members, please attend our public forum slot at 10am Wednesday 16 June.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
