As you can expect, we’ll be implementing a lot of procedures to keep you, our communities and our people safe. You'll see we have introduced contact tracing, increased cleaning, hand sanitisers and ways to help with social distancing.
We're as excited as you will be, that the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition will be open, as we’ve been able to extend it for a limited time.
As they are high touch spaces, unfortunately we won’t be opening Weird and Wonderful, Volcanoes gallery or the Kai Room. We’ll keep updating our website as details become available, so you can plan your visit.
See you soon!

What’s better than a new planter box?
One that serves as a place to stash plant pots or tuck a hose out of sight too.

So far, 34 pilots have applied to switch wings for the tracks and become train drivers for the city's rail network.
Transdev operates Auckland's commuter rail service, and employs 200 train drivers in the city. Its managing director, Peter Lensink, said he was pleased to be able to offer employment to pilots, whose skills were ideal for driving trains. "I really feel for the pilots who are in this position and I'm really pleased we have an alternative and hope they will adapt to driving a train on a piece of metal instead of flying free up in the air," he said. "We only hire highly skilled people and airline pilots have got similarities to the skills and competencies required as a train driver."
Lensink said both the airline and rail sectors had a strong safety culture and required specific skills, including concentration. A qualified train driver earns just more than $40 an hour. "While it might be more exciting for some people to see Auckland from the air, I think it's even more exciting to see Auckland up close and unfolding in front of you," Lensink said. Although there is one helicopter pilot among Auckland's train drivers, Lensink said this was the first time pilots were being recruited.
"We've got a great opportunity because we are growing and gearing up here in Auckland for the City Rail Link. That will double the amount of services here in four to five years time. We're therefore able to recruit a large number of train drivers for the future." He said there had been a lot of contact between leaders in the airline and railway sectors, including Air New Zealand. "Once the word is out and people see the link between the roles and opportunities the railways have, I expect to see more [pilots] coming into the recruitment process." Lensink said the pilots would go through "intense" recruitment scrutiny - including having eyesight tests - before training in June. Training will be held at the Wiri depot - a stone's throw from Auckland Airport.

As we head into cooler weather, it’s tricky to balance maintaining a warm home with keeping costs down and living a low carbon lifestyle.
Here are some key tips from Auckland Council on how to create a warm, dry home while keeping costs down and caring for the planet.
Minister of Health David Clark announced the change of heart this afternoon, just hours before New Zealand's scheduled move to Alert Level 2 at 11.59pm.

The new limit will allow up to 50 people to gather for the purposes of funerals and tangihanga, provided that strict public health measures are in place. From tomorrow, funeral directors will have to obtain dispensation from the Ministry of Health to allow up to 50 people to attend services, while having to meet a range of public health measures. Those measures will include physical distancing, hand hygiene, as well as no food and drink congregations afterwards. "Funerals are exceptional events and have been one of the most difficult areas of restriction that we've considered as we try to avoid the double tragedy of losing a loved one and spreading the virus," Dr Clark said. "The strength of our response to this virus has been in our agility to respond and we have listened to the concerns of the 10-person limit for funerals and moved on that - while emphasising they still pose a significant risk in setting us back. "We can all be rightly proud of the progress we've made in tackling the virus over the past seven weeks and we need to maintain this unity to keep us on track. "I'm pleased that we have found a workable solution that that keeps people safe, while at the same time allowing more people to gather and grieve together."
