Hi neighbours. A dangerous building notice has been placed upon part of a home sitting atop an eroding cliff after further slips left parts teetering over the edge.

The notice, issued by Auckland Council, comes after a spate of slips sent boulders, fencing and a mature pōhutukawa tree tumbling down Dan Jones Bluff, on to Browns Bay Beach.

The Building Act 2004 considers a building dangerous if it may cause injury, death or damage to other property.

The most recent slip has left a footpath railing hanging off the cliff’s edge, and several trees only remain attached to the cliff by their roots.

The owners or occupiers of the property must "take action to reduce or remove the danger”, according to Auckland Council policy.

QR codes will be displayed on public transport in Auckland as per Government requirements from Friday.

The bar codes will be displayed at the door during boarding, and at individual seats for easy scanning.

Auckland Transport recommends customers scan this QR code to help with contract tracing efforts if needed.

“To help things go smoothly for everyone, please have the Ministry of Health’s NZ COVID Tracer app open and ready to scan during boarding,” a statement read.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff said following the rules wil help keep ourselves and others safe and ensure that we can move out of Alert Level 2 as soon as possible.

“Keeping track of your movements with the NZ COVID Tracer app and ensuring that you are wearing a face covering are two simple ways we can help to constrain the spread of the virus,” he said.

In addition to scanning the Ministry of Health’s QR code, AT recommends that customers also register their AT HOP card to help with contact tracing.

This will also allow AT to monitor passenger numbers and make fast adjustments to services if required due to changes in demand.

Face coverings are also mandatory on public transport, as per Government’s advice.

Hi neighbours,

Auckland mayor Phil Goff has welcomed the decision for the city to stay at alert level 2.5 until September 14, advising Aucklanders it was crucial to “stay the course”.

Goff said the Government’s decision was the right one and asked Aucklanders to continue following the rules so the city could return to level 1 as soon as possible.

“But it’s crucial that we stay the course. While we are all looking forward to level 1, the last thing we want is to move too early and risk a further resurgence of the virus,” he said.

“That would be the worst outcome – not only would it endanger the health and safety of Aucklanders, including some of our most vulnerable communities, it would also further damage businesses and the economy and put the gains we have made so far at risk.”

Hi neighbours,

There are four new cases of coronavirus in New Zealand, with two in the community.

The other two new cases are imported, and were caught in managed isolation.

Both of the community cases are linked to the Auckland August cluster – which now has 161 cases linked to it.

The cluster is the biggest New Zealand has seen since the first outbreak of the virus.

The two imported cases are that of a male child and a woman in her 20s who both arrived from India on August 23.

They are both a close contact of separate previously reported confirmed cases.

The first of the cases linked to the cluster is a close contact of an existing case. The second is a household contact of a case linked to the Mt Roskill Evangelical Fellowship sub-cluster.

Both cases were already in isolation.

The Ministry of Health said 70 people linked to the cluster are in the Auckland quarantine facility – including 52 people with the virus and their household contacts.

Four people are in hospital with Covid-19 – three are stable and one is in ICU at Waikato Hospital.

Two people – Americold worker Alan Te Hiko and former Cook Island prime minister Joe Williams, died after contracting the virus late last week.

The number of active cases in New Zealand is now 118. Two community cases are considered recovered as of Monday.

The total number of people who have contracted the virus in New Zealand now stands at 1425.

Hi neighbours,

The live action remake of the children’s classic Mulan will premier at 7.30pm on Friday on the streaming service Disney+.

The film was pulled from Disney’s cinema release schedule due to the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Fans will have to pay $39.99 to gain “premium access” to view it, on top of the regular Disney+ subscription of $9.99/month. After several months the film will be available for free for all Disney+ subscribers.

The $440 million blockbuster was mostly filmed in New Zealand, and critics have praised the scenery.

Will you be watching the premier of Disney’s Mulan tonight from home?
