Northland Development Corporation, a group formed by local business people two years ago, hopes to get the project started before the end of the year and be ready for business when the Hundertwasser Art Centre opens before the end of 2020.

The hotel, entertainment centre, and apartments will be built on 12,460sqm of waterfront land along Riverside Drive, where boatsheds and light industry are currently located.

The four-star complex is expected to provide more than 200 jobs during the construction phase and around 140-160 once it is opened. The 130-room hotel could host up to 1000 people.

There are also plans to ferry tourists from cruise ships that will berth at Northport from early 2021 to the new hotel precincts and other places frequented by visitors, such as the Hundertwasser Art Centre and Hihiaua peninsula.

Danish made leather jacket, suede on the outside, wool inside. My wife says it's size 10-12. Used to be my late mother's. It is *very* warm.

Very good condition, it's probably only been worn on a handful of occasions.

Since she kept it in a wardrobe together with bars of soap, it's got a perfumed smell to it.


Thinking $50. (tried the 'show the price' option, but it will only display "negotiable" ...)

I spoke with council today about spotting a wild boar in my front yard on Riverside drive.

My Address is on Riverside Drive near the marina, the wild boar was in my front yard it ran into bush behind Riverside Drive I have had a look at a satellite image, the bush goes right through to Whangarei Falls.

I am attaching a photo which is identical to what I saw and chased with the mobility scooter. I have a 35kg dog.

To explain the size of the wild boar it was a bit shorter than my dog but stocker I would estimate is to be between 35 - 40 kg.

When I went after it I was thinking domestic pig, not wild boar so I will not chase any more.

100% this was a wild boar, about the size in the photo, and living in Paraheka bush

Sound sleep is essential, as your body repairs the worn out tissues while you are sleeping in a comfortable position. Just like a phone's battery is charged with a charger, so is your body refreshed with a comfortable sleep of 7 to 8 hours.   If you cannot get a sound sleep of approximately 8 hours, you will not be able to give your complete effort at work as your body will be fatigued from the previous day.
