Contractors are installing 10 parking stations in popular spots around the city. They can be used with or without registration - you just need an electronic key (any electric door key, or a Bee Card, a purpose-made Locky Dock card, or the "Bikeep" app on a smartphone). Instructions are on the machines.
With the Kamo Shared Path extended, new parking options, and new facilities being installed at Raumanga Reserve, this could be an epic summer of cycling. Hop on if you can!

There is now a Regional Accessibility Strategy, a joint-effort by all four Councils in Te Tai Tokerau Northland.
Thanks to your feedback we have found shared values, outcomes, vision and actions to improve accessibility and the experiences of people with access needs. The strategy is about what we can do to make Te Tai Tokerau more inclusive and accessible:
✅ Inclusive: If something is inclusive, everyone can be involved.
✅ Accessible: If something is accessible, everyone can use it.
You can check out the strategy or a summary in 7 accessible formats including audio, NZ Sign Language, Reo Māori and more at this link:

When seconds count, it can save lives.
We’ve had recent examples where drivers completely ignore the Police vehicle behind them. Other drivers slow right down without safely pulling over, and delay Police from responding to emergency situations. Please help us by allowing our team to get to those in need, so we can save lives.
Top tips when an emergency services vehicle approaches with lights and sirens:
🚑 You are required by law to pull to the side of the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
🚔 If the lights and siren of the Police vehicle continue past you, you can resume your journey.
🚒 Make sure you check the road is clear before moving on.

Both PODS have CCC. The next project was going to add a roof over the deck and a third POD for second bedroom with ensuite.

It would be easily possible to put a further third POD on the property down below with a western view. For further information and viewing please call 021 225 6446.
