Face masks are now gracing vending machines at transport stations around Auckland.

The masks feature in 42 machines at bus and rail stations along with ferry wharves.

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff has praised the initiative.

“The more simple and convenient we can make it to wear a mask, the greater the uptake will be," he said.

“This will mean passengers who may have lost or forgotten their mask can get one quickly and easily and avoid missing their journey."

AT has bought 1500 masks to go into into the machines.

Aucklanders can buy a pack of four masks for $9.

Hi neighbours,

Aucklanders will see their rates bills soar 5 per cent to help counteract a $1 billion fall in council revenue over the next four years.

The one-off hike, up from a planned 3.5 per cent increase, will add $36 to the rates bill of an average value home before annual increases return to the previous path of 3.5 per cent rises.

The proposed increase is included in the update of Auckland Council's 10-year budget, which starts in July.

Please put NFP if you do not want your comments used by Stuff.

All seven council-owned splashpads across Tāmaki Makaurau will be open over the summer, despite water restrictions in place due to the drought.

Meanwhile, locals will be pinged for using a hose without the correct nozzle.

The council says splashpads recycle a high percentage of water, and the centres themselves have made significant water savings in the last nine months.
