Last moth plant pods of the season!!

Our places need protection from moth pest plant pods - report these plant pods if you see them.

You may have heard of or seen the serious pest plant called moth plant around Auckland or in your neighbourhood. It’s been in the news and community organisations like us have been trying to control and remove it from our neighbourhoods with the help of volunteers.

We’re near the end of moth plant pod season which means any pods left will likely burst and spread thousands of seeds across our gardens and bush areas.

We’re trying to find any remaining moth plant pods and we’re asking you to help us by reporting any you see (see below for how to report).

Why should we care?

The moth plant vines grow up, through and over other plants entangling and smothering them. The milky white sap is an irritant and can cause a skin reaction in some people. So there are good reasons to try to rid our area of this nasty vine.

If we did nothing, most of Kaipātiki’s natural spaces would be covered in moth plant and other pest plants. So thank you to everyone who has helped previously by reporting, removing or disposing of moth plant pods.

How to report: Please look out for the large green pods. Report them using the Ecotrack app or by email to pestplants@pestfreekaipatiki.org.nz (if outside the Kaipātiki area report them to the Society Totally Against Moth Plant or Auckland Council).

Please check the links below.

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.

Northcote's newest pocket park is expected to be open in early June.
The new park on the corner of Richardson Place and Whakamua Parade in the new Northcote development is tentatively called "Richardson Park", however an official Te Reo name is expected to be gifted by Mana Whenua for the park in due course.

The design includes in-ground trampolines, a basket swing, sheltered BBQ area, children’s tables, an artificial turf area made from recycled materials, an open grass area, and new plantings.

The new park connects to the Te Ara Awataha greenway via a series of stepping blocks and balance beams along Whakamua Parade.

Thanks to Kāinga Ora, Piritahi, TOBA and Isthmus for developing the park as part of the Northcote Development. The park is expected to transfer to the Kaipatiki Local Board at a later date.

Does anyone want to lay a wager of $50 that they will rip it up again to rebuild it in the next 2 years because the PLANNING STRUCTURE OF AUCKLAND COUNCIL IS HOPELESS!!!
