Road closure in Kaitoke Regional Park
The waterworks gorge section of the road in Kaitoke Regional Park will be closed from the 18th-22nd of March. This closure is to resurface the road and to install safety barriers close to the steep drops in the side of the road.
While closed to traffic, there will still be on foot access available for visitors wanting to visit our iconic swing bridge and Rivendell. This will add 30 minutes return onto your walk.
We apologise for this inconvenience but you can soon look forward to a safer driving experience in the park. Check www.gw.govt.nz... for more info.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
