West Auckland Airport has applied for airport authority status, as it plans to develop the airport, with the aim of attracting a commercial passenger-carrying airline. Part of this plan could include the development of a new, longer runway. It views airport authority status as an important step for future growth, allowing it greater ability to attract new investment for planned developments. We are inviting submissions on the proposal from West Auckland Airport, and you are also welcome to attend a public meeting on this application.

🐦The beauty is indeed all around us🐦

Fiona from Henderson

So, Saturday was one of those days, when nothing I did was making me feel 100% - it was in layman's terms a dull, blank, in fact a nothing day. We all have those days.

So, Saturday was one of those days, when nothing I did was making me feel 100% - it was in layman's terms a dull, blank, in fact a nothing day. We all have those days.
Then I heard the sounds of the Tuis & Kererūs chortling and singing in the distance, and included in that choir was the beautiful sweet sound of the swallows chirping away in front of me. Suddenly some very cheeky fantails wanted to play.
I then turned to see such beauty on what should've been a beautiful day.
How could I not smile and be grateful for that one moment on this planet - it was pure unadulterated bliss💞💞

Poll: Would your area benefit from a targeted rate to boost local transport projects?

Caroline Williams Reporter from Stuff

In May last year, the Rodney Transport Targeted Rate was introduced in north Auckland to fund high-priority local transport options, including bus routes, footpaths and park and ride facilities. The rate (an extra $150 a year/$2.90 a week) is expected to raise $46 million over 10 years and has … View moreIn May last year, the Rodney Transport Targeted Rate was introduced in north Auckland to fund high-priority local transport options, including bus routes, footpaths and park and ride facilities. The rate (an extra $150 a year/$2.90 a week) is expected to raise $46 million over 10 years and has already seen three new bus services to connect residents to the rest of the city. The RTTR is the first targeted transport rate within the Auckland region.
