Kia ora Auckland,

Should the proposed marina on Waiheke Island get the green light?

Construction on Waiheke Island's Kennedy Point marina is to continue after an out of court settlement was made between campaigners and developers.

Four years of court proceedings have been withdrawn by Save Kennedy Point (SKP), after Kennedy Point Boatharbour Limited said they would put the welfare of a little blue penguin colony front of mind.

As part of the settlement, the developers have agreed to forgo all recent costs orders made against SKP and to not seek further costs from them.

SKP was facing bills of almost $250,000 sought by the developers and Auckland Council.

In more recent developments, the group has announced they will hīkoi to Parliament to deliver a petition asking Environment Minister David Parker take the case back to the Environment Court.

The petition, which already has 8500 signatures, was started by Uri o Ngāri Pāoa, who are occupying the beach at Kennedy Point.

Kia ora koutou. A new bridge costing $685 million is to be built for walkers and cyclists crossing Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour.

It is hoped construction can begin mid-2022, in a plan unveiled just five days after cycling lobbyists broke through a police barrier and rode over the existing Harbour Bridge, demanding action.

Transport Minister Michael Wood said once begun, the new structure is expected to take five years to complete, and work will continue on interim use of existing harbour bridge lanes for cycling and walking.

“A stand-alone structure is the safest option that will not only provide a walking and cycling option for commuters but creates an outstanding piece of tourism infrastructure,” said Wood.

We live in Glen Marine Parade and we could hear it clearly coming what seemed like across the water towards Crystal Avenue. We have had this music before and these people need to know there is a shut off time to be playing loud music that gets neighbours up from their beds and trying to seek out where this is coming from. Surely they have people living next to them that would find it annoying.

When was your last Dental Clean and check up done

Gum disease (periodontitis) can be associated with an increased risk of developing heart disease. A review of published studies finds that gum disease could be a risk factor for coronary artery disease.

Poor dental health may increase the risk of a bacterial infection in the blood stream, which may affect the heart valves. Oral health may be particularly important if you have artificial heart valves. There is a connection between diabetes and cardiovascular disease and evidence that people with diabetes benefit from periodontal treatment.
