Te Onewa Northcote Point Wharf closed for six weeks from today

Kia ora neighbours. Ferry services at Te Onewa Northcote Point Wharf are being suspended for six weeks, so improvements can be made to the wharf just one year after it received a $2.6 million upgrade.

The wharf closed for health and safety reasons in June 2018 after routine maintenance revealed wooden structural pieces of the wharf had deteriorated.

After project delays of more than a year due to a funding snafu and Covid-19, the wharf’s structure was repaired, and it reopened on 4 February 2021, with improved shelter, security, lighting and seating for passengers.

However, today the wharf closed for up to six weeks while Auckland Transport makes improvements to the berthing structure, including the addition of three new berthing piles and pre-mounted bollards.

Auckland Transport has not responded to my questions about why the improvements were not included in the $2.6m upgrade.

Commuters will need to catch a bus into the city or catch the ferry from Birkenhead.

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

For a long time, New Zealand wine exports have been dominated by Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with small quantities of Chardonnay and Bordeaux blends plus more.

During New Zealand Wine Week (7-11 February 2022), WSET gathered together a panel of three expert educators to discuss emerging wine trends and grape varieties along with the theme of sustainable winegrowing certification (SWNZ) and organics in the New Zealand wine industry.

Here is a part of Celia’s presentation on the grape varieties, regions and the importance of NZ Winegrower’s policy of sustainable wine growing, first introduced in 1995 and the increasing numbers of organic certified wineries.
