It was spotted and reported by a local resident out walking her dog. Council fenced off the site and are investigating the cause. Preliminary inspection indicates that the sinkhole occurred on top of a large corrugated iron pipe which is showing incorrectly in Council's system as a concrete pipe. CCTV inspections are underway.
Please take care in the area and don't go through the fence.
Here is a photo montage supplied by the contractor.

New toilet and signage at Monarch Park, Hillcrest

It's fantastic that the long-awaited new toilet being installed at Monarch Park in Hillcrest, and the new entrance sign and directional bollards :)

It's fantastic that the long-awaited new toilet being installed at Monarch Park in Hillcrest, and the new entrance sign and directional bollards :)
It wasn't long ago that this was a hidden park, and I remember stumbling upon it when I was a kid and not being able to find it again! But work over the last couple of years has widened and enhanced the main Moore Street entrance, and the new sign with map will ensure that this park is no longer hidden!
This park has a lot to offer and is treasured by the local Monarch Park Place Making Project group, who have worked with the Kaipatiki Local Board on ideas and improvements for the park. There are lots of things for children to find in this park, including a natural play area, resident fairy, little library, mosaic tiles, ornaments, and there are future plans for a nature trail.
A big thanks to Project Manager Julie Crabb for pushing the toilet and signage through for the Local Board. And also thanks also to contractors Zac and Dave who have been out installing these and the new signs at Shepherds Park.

Last week the Kaipatiki Local Board approved a 24/7 liquor ban at Downing St Domain, Glenfield, after reviewing evidence of disorder at the park, and hearing from Snr Constable Paul Donaldson of the Police.
The new liquor ban will enable the police to deal with anyone who is drinking or causing issues in the park while under the influence of alcohol.
For many years, there have been shopping trolleys dumped in the park after transporting liquor. I recently counted 14 trolleys throughout the park, including dumped in the stream. There are also often beer cans, bottles, and broken glass around the pergola area, and has been regular damage to the seats, pergola, and rubbish bins.

Why can't we have public transport like Sydney? (We can, but...)

Todd Niall Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi Neighbours, Have you been to Sydney and marvelled at their trains and ferries and how cheap they are? And wondered why don't we have that here ? Well we can if we paid as much in subsidies as Sydneysiders do. To read more click on the link below.

HI everyone. We wondered if anyone had space in their inorganic collection for a washing machine that has finally given up after many years of good service. Our inorganic was last week (bad timing...). I believe there is a collection on Monday so we could drop around tomorrow. Please message me if … View moreHI everyone. We wondered if anyone had space in their inorganic collection for a washing machine that has finally given up after many years of good service. Our inorganic was last week (bad timing...). I believe there is a collection on Monday so we could drop around tomorrow. Please message me if that is OK with anyone. Many thanks, Sandra
