Labour is promising an end to expensive fees for things like paywave and card transactions.

The party wants to regulate Merchant Service Fees (MSF), which are high in New Zealand compared to other countries such as Australia.

These are fees charged by banks for services including card transactions and paywave, and force retailers to either absorb the hefty cost themselves, or pass it on to consumers.

Auckland Council’s Hurstmere Road transformation is progressing with the completion of the intersections at either end of what is now a one-way road.

New wider pavements, timber seating, and stonework walls in the finished sections hope to turn the area into a pedestrian-friendly retail boulevard within Takapuna’s town centre.

Construction now begins near Hurstmere Green, the heart of Hurstmere Road that will connect Takapuna’s beach with a future boulevard and new town square being delivered by Panuku Development Auckland by 2021.

North Shore Councillor Richard Hills said it was an exciting milestone to reach for the long-anticipated project.

“The Hurstmere Road transformation is on its way to delivering a greener and more people-friendly space for Takapuna,” he said.

“Not only will the project result in an improved retail destination for locals and visitors, but importantly, ageing infrastructure like the road, mains water and stormwater pipes will receive a much-needed upgrade at the same time.”

Hurstmere Road is now a one-way road for north-bound traffic between Lake Road and Anzac Street with a safer speed limit of 30km. The upgrade will also include a new cycle path. The reduction of vehicle dominance will make it more accessible for both pedestrians and cyclists. South-bound traffic now travels along Anzac Street and Lake Road.

The works include new stormwater rain gardens set in native plantings that will be located along the road. They have been carefully designed to collect rainwater and filter out street pollutants that currently discharge directly into the sea.

Auckland Council’s first zero-emissions electric vehicle for roadside rubbish and recycling collections has arrived on Waiheke Island.

The island's Isuzu NQR begins collecting rubbish and recycling on Monday 14 September. Two more electric trucks should be delivered within the next year after delays due to Covid-19.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff said the new vehicle will help Auckland work towards its climate change goals.

“Vehicle emissions make up more than 40 per cent of Auckland’s total carbon emissions, so every vehicle we replace with electric will help us reduce emissions and increase the sustainability of our region,” he said.

“As well as the environmental benefits, EVs are also cheaper to run, easier to maintain and less noisy than conventional trucks.”

Auckland Council is exploring the wider use of electric vehicles for kerbside collections across the region, including for the kerbside food scraps service when it rolls out a couple of years from now.

Papakura is also expected to have an electric truck delivered by the end of this year.
