Waitākere Ranges tracks reopen after four-year closure

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, three popular tracks in the Waitākere Ranges will be reopening this weekend after a nearly four-year closure due to kauri dieback disease.

On Friday, the Gibbons, Muir and Pararaha Valley tracks will be officially reopened to the public after being closed in May 2018.

The tracks, along with a raft of others, were closed in 2018 until mitigation work could be carried out to bring them all up to a safe standard for the kauri trees.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
