WAINUIOMATA HILL SLIP UPDATE
Please be advised that we will be keeping one lane on Wainuiomata Road on the outgoing side of the Wainuiomata Hill closed until further notice.
Safety is at the heart of this decision, and even though today’s slip has been cleared, there is a chance that further material may fall onto the road. We are working on restoring access to both lanes as soon as possible.
We appreciate the efforts of our staff and contractors who have worked through the weekend and today to achieve this result. We also acknowledge the community’s patience this morning with the delays caused this morning travelling out of Wainuiomata.
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
