The 50kmh speed limit on Port Hills Rd, from Garlands Rd to the Tunnel Rd intersection, was legally changed to 60kmh by the NZ Transport Agency in March 2011, but the signs were never changed so police have been ticketing people based on a 50kmh limit.

The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.
Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?

When: 24th May 5.00pm - 7.00pm
Where: BreakFree on Cashel, 165 Cashel Street
Early last Century Professor Hall declared that adolescence is a period of “storm and strife” and this description seems to have stuck. We now understand so much more about the developmental period between puberty and the end of the formative part of brain development, and in the light of this new understanding, we can declare that this is an exciting and ever changing but extremely important time of life.
I have a room in peaceful house on saffron street . Message me for more details = )
