Houses for 300 low income tenants opened today in New Lynn

Nearly 300 homeless and low income tenants have started moving in to 82 new homes in Auckland.

Nearly 300 homeless and low income tenants have started moving in to 82 new homes in Auckland.
The Thom St development in New Lynn is being opened by Housing Minister Megan Woods today. The new properties replaced 16 standalone homes which were built in the 1940s. The development includes seven two-storey standalone homes, 27 two-storey townhouses, and 48 apartments across three buildings. All of them are built to modern standards, with double-glazing and insulation, and the site is near key public transport routes.
Woods said it was "enormously satisfying" to see the progress which was being made on public housing in the city. "The unseen part of a lot of public housing, particularly in our large scale projects is the significant infrastructure work that enables other affordable and market homes to be built, which is key to increasing supply," she said. The New Lynn development, which was announced under the National-led Government, will provide much-needed relief to around 292 people on the state housing waiting list. The list soared to 20,000 last month - triple the number in 2017. So far, 33 of the homes have been tenanted. While the Labour Government is aiming to build 12,400 state houses over the next four to five years and another 2000 transitional homes, that is not enough to keep up with rising demand. That demand is driven by escalating house prices, rents increasing faster than incomes, and a dire undersupply of affordable homes. The Government says the growing wait-list is partly because it is not turning anyone away, while previous governments applied more discretion. The new homes are part of the largest house-building programme since the 1960s, in which 5000 state houses are being replaced by 25,000 homes in Auckland - a mix of public, affordable and market homes. The scale of the construction, while much-needed, has upset a few communities along the way. Some housing advocates are upset at the ratio of affordable houses to houses which are sold on the open market. In one of the largest developments, in Māngere, 2700 state houses are being demolished for 3000 new state houses and 7000 private homes. In its defence, the Government says selling homes on the open market allows it to fund further development, and that building large blocks of public housing concentrates poverty - leading to ghettos. Advocates have also expressed concerns that mixed developments can lead to gentifrication, which breaks up people's social networks as they are priced out of the area. Kainga Ora must find homes for the original state housing tenants while the sites are redeveloped. The Government has previously said that most of the New Lynn tenants were rehoused within other Kainga Ora properties.

A student who was infectious with Covid-19 may have lowered the number of people she infected by wearing a mask at work in Auckland's CBD.

The student's decision to mask-up might have mitigated the number of secondary infections, said physicist and disease modeller Professor Shaun Hendy.

A neighbour of the woman returned a weak positive result on Saturday.

While 5400 tests were done in Auckland alone, no new community cases were revealed.

Avondale College is believed to be the first school in New Zealand to teach the Cambridge International law syllabus.

Teacher Farhanah Jeewa said the AS and A level law syllabus from Cambridge is ideal for students interested in reading law at university.

"We study the English legal system, which is similar to the New Zealand system," she said.

Introducing the syllabus this year stemmed from Jeewa's legal background.

Students at the Auckland secondary school are learning how laws are made, interpreted and adapted.

They love taking part in the mock trials, she said.

"We complete two different trials and students get to see the role of each person within the legal system.

"It is an enjoyable experience to see them become much more confident in the second trial.”

The government has initiated a review into whether New Zealanders pay too much at the supermarket checkouts.

The Commerce Commission plans to follow a similar approach to that of their investigation into the price of petrol and diesel for land transport, which cost the taxpayer an estimated $2.5 million dollars. Labour promised an investigation into food prices on the election campaign and if unfair practices are found when the Commission's report is released in late 2021, necessary changes will be made.

Do you notice price differences between supermarket chains?

Waitakere Kindergarten is going back in time to mark its 25th anniversary.

Many of the preschool's founding students will return to the kindergarten on November 28 to dig up the time capsules they buried as
youngsters.

Now aged in their 30s, the former pupils will pour over the pieces of history they hid 25 years ago.

The time capsules bear letters from their parents, a ribbon from the opening ceremony, newspaper clippings, and photographs.

Families of existing students will also bury time capsules during the anniversary celebration, which starts at 3pm.

Among their treasures will be memoirs about life for preschoolers during the Covid-19 pandemic.

After the ceremony, a Pop-up Op shop will be set up to raise funds for the preschool.

Activities for the children, a sausage sizzle and a bake sale are also planned.
