Wainuiomata Wastewater Renewals
We will soon be getting under way with replacing sections of wastewater pipe in Burden Avenue, Wood Street, and Faulke Avenue, Wainuiomata.
This work will take about 12 weeks from 8 May to 31 August 2019. Hours of work will generally be 7:00am-6:00pm Monday to Saturday.
Work areas will be fenced off during construction. At times, access to properties may be restricted during working hours. If your property is affected in this way, we’ll let you know the day before, and you can contact our project team if you have any concerns about that. If you have any specific access requirements please contact us to discuss how we can work with you.
On-street car parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us to get the work done as quickly as possible. There may be some delay for traffic passing through the worksite during working hours as well.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
