Hello I am a 57 year old non smoking woman with no pets. I am looking to rent a Granny flat or bedsit long term on the North Shore Max $330 per week. I have excellent references.
Here's another "gotcha" in council's Emergency Budget:
Auckland Council sells around $24 million of assets each year, but this time it is budgeting to sell an additional $200 million of assets = $224 million!

Auckland Council sells around $24 million of assets each year, but this time it is budgeting to sell an additional $200 million of assets = $224 million!
Attached are lists of parkland that council has identified to potentially sell.
From the Kaipātiki Local Board area it includes:
* Rosie Bolt Reserve - R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point
* Rangatira Reserve - R105 Stott Avenue, Beach Haven
* Lynn Reserve - R107 Lynn Road, Bayview
* Land off Verbena Road, Birkdale (paper road on the bend?)
The list doesn't include land parcel numbers, only addresses, so it is difficult to tell whether council has identified whole parks, or parts of park for sale. It's also not clear why these particular parks have been identified, but in some cases could be purchase enquiries from neighbours.
Last year the Kaipatiki Local Board gazetted all park parcels under the Reserves Act and is currently developing an Open Space Management Plan (RMP) for them, so council will have a fight on its hands to sell any of them. But it's still not good news to see them listed as candidates for sale.

Consultation is open until 19 June.

Hi Neighbours,
My son has lost his wallet with driving licence and cards on Sunday possibly near Wairau Road. If anyone has found any wallet please let me know.
Thanks
Hi Neighbours, We would all like to pay less for something - like a rates bill. But you get only what you pay for and the option of a 2.5 per cent rise instead of 3.5, brings risk. What do you think? Read the story below:

At 8 pence a day on top of a small deposit, a Surfdale section was also promoted as a sound investment – so close to downtown Auckland that “values must go up and up and up”.
Well, they weren't wrong there.
Today, Waiheke Island brings to mind sunny vineyards and beachy weekend getaways. The image of Waiheke as an “island paradise” has its origins in 1920s marketing, but the island has long been desirable even as its character has changed over the past centuries.
As we go into the long weekend and begin to venture further afield again, why not have a read of how Waiheke came to be the place it is today, in this blog about its recent history by our Project Curator, Jane Groufsky.
