Oriental Parade work getting under way from 10 September
Work on Oriental Parade (between Herd Street and Freyberg) will begin on Monday 10 September. We're changing the layout on the road side of the trees to provide more space for people. If you're on bikes or foot you can still use the shared path on the seaward side. Most angle parking between Herd Street & Freyberg Pool will be unavailable while the work happens (temporary mobility parking will be provided). Work is scheduled to finish in December.

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)
.
