Keeping our Acacia Cove Residents healthy is always a priority and the best place to start, is what you feed your body. Bruce Cullington, our Village Manager has invited a Nutritionist to give a presentation at the Village. The response was great, and we had a lot of fun with it.

Six residents’ names were drawn out of a hat. Bruce kindly opened his home, and the lucky six went to Bruce’s house where four of our staff members prepared a meal for them from a recipe provided by the Nutritionist. It was a very enjoyable afternoon with lots of laughter.

MetService is monitoring a weather system that may coincide with king tides expected over the weekend. This will cause flooding in low-lying coastal areas, particularly around the high-tides on Sunday.

There is also the possibility of a deep low moving southeastwards over the upper North Island during Sunday, delivering severe gale easterlies to exposed parts of the area.

- People are advised to keep up to date with the latest MetService forecasts in case some parts of this Watch are upgraded to a full weather warning, or other areas are added.
- Take extra precautions along the coast, consider your travel routes and never drive through floodwaters.
- Auckland Emergency Managment warned travellers to take extra precautions along the coast, consider travel routes and to never drive through floodwaters.
- Read more about the impending weather here.

Note, King tides and large northeast swell are forecast during this time. The combination of strong easterly winds and lowering air pressures associated with such a deep low could cause an inundation to coasts exposed to the north and east.
