Dinghy with almost new Honda 15 HP twin cylinder 4 stroke
I am upgrading and selling my dinghy which I have used for almost 3 years. It is a deep V Fyran 3.66m (12 feet) circa 1990's dinghy with welded floor and riveted seats. I put on a brand new Honda outboard in early 2017. It is a twin cylinder Honda 15HP four-stroke engine with about 30 hours. It has an electric start (no pulling starter cords). I have also wired in the navigation lights, with a switch at the front.
As I travel to both the Whangarei and Kaipara harbours (on the advice of my mechanic) I strengthened the transom with a reinforcing bar as the weight of the outboard on our rough roads puts strain on the transom. This setup has been incredibly reliable and I have never had any trouble with the equipment.
I am listing it for the price of a new outboard - it owes me over $7,500.
What should the rules be for alcohol in public?
We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw
The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.
In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.
We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).
We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!
Poll: How do you feel about dogs being allowed indoors in cafes?
For most of us, seeing a friendly doggo while out and about instantly brings a smile to our faces. But how do you feel about cafes welcoming pups inside?

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
