Te Reo Names for our Parks

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

The Kaipātiki Local Board is working with mana whenua to restore Māori names and narratives to a number of our parks and our three libraries as part of Auckland Council’s Te Kete Rukuruku programme.

Some parks will officially have dual names (both Te Reo and English names), while others will have sole Te Reo names.
Last week the local board approved Shepherds Park, Beach Haven, as being a flagship park with dual naming and full bi-lingual signage throughout the park that will be celebrated with a whakarewatanga/launch event. This is expected to be later this year or early next year.
The local board also approved the name "Wai Manawa" as the official Te Reo name for the whole Little Shoal Bay Reserve and Le Roys Bush Reserve area. Wai Manawa had previously been included as part of the name identified by mana whenua for the Birkenhead lookout Kaimataara ō Wai Manawa, which looks out over Le Roys Bush Reserve. New signage will be installed throughout Le Roys and Little Shoal Bay reflecting the dual names.

Designing an Entertainers Kitchen by Superior Renovations

Steven from Superior Renovations

Renovating can be quite a daunting decision, simply imagining the finished project in your head and then committing to it (hoping it turns out like you hoped) takes a lot of courage.

A design consultation with our in-house designers means you get advice and a visual on how the layout works, and whether other key design choices like fixtures, colour schemes, materials and textures, are the right choices and then complimented with 3D renderings – after receiving this, the end goal is ensuring you make an informed (and confident) decision to proceed with high certainty of the end result. It will also help you spot any potential design flaws or things you don’t like before making a big investment to renovate.

The digital renderings are so similar to the real end result, you can hardly tell the difference - see for yourself - check out our first design case study below (designed by our very own Dorothy Li and project managed by Jin Park)

Kaipatiki Local Board members have had a workshop on options for stage 3 of the track upgrade at Kauri Glen Reserve from Kauri Glen Road through to both Tui Glen Road and Raymond Terrace. These tracks have been closed for a while to protect kauri trees.
There are two options to upgrade and reopen the connection, while protecting kauri in the area. The options will be coming to our October meeting for a decision, and if supported, work should begin later this year or early next year and take up to 10 months to complete.

* Option 1: A tree-top high boardwalk with a 60m long, 18m high glulam bridge that will enable a scenic step-free walk between Kauri Glen Road and Tui Glen Road (the portion to Raymond Terrace will have steps).
* Option 2: A staircase and boardwalk following a similar route to the existing track, with a 10m bridge at the bottom of the gully.
* Option 3: Permanently close the tracks.

Option 1 is preferred by Te Kawerau a Maki, Northcote College and Kauri Glen Bush Society Incorporated.

The impact a healthy & attractive smile can have on one’s self-esteem and confidence is invaluable. Orthodontic treatments can improve teeth that are crooked, misaligned, or crowded - leaving you with not only a beautiful smile but also a massive boost in confidence.

Braces aren’t just for cosmetic purposes, they can correct the alignment of your teeth and improve the functionality of your jaw. With misaligned teeth, you may come across difficulties in eating, talking, and oral health upkeep (which puts you at risk of quite serious dental issues). Braces will gently move your teeth (and roots) to their optimal position, it does take many months - however, once treatment is complete the beautiful results are lifelong.
