Upgrade for pull-over area at Tamaterau - March / April 2022.
Anyone headed towards Whangārei from Whangārei Heads will be able to pull over easily on asphalted surface and find an improved one-way area with a marked bus stop and parking, more space for the central Pohutukawa, and access to Tamaterau Domain.
Expect some traffic management in the coming months to allow for the development. Once complete, the speed limit here will return to being 50 km/h.
This $304,0000 project is supported by the Tourism Infrastructure Fund. The design was completed by Hawthorn Geddes engineers & architects ltd and the construction will be completed by Robinson Asphalts.

Updated tsunami evacuation zones
NRC have updated their tsunami evacuation zones and related interactive maps.
There is now just a single evacuation zone, coloured in blue, replacing the earlier red, orange and yellow zones.
The maps have changed considerably. For example, my home was previously in the yellow zone but is now no longer at risk, due to updated data and tsunami wave models.
Let's familiarise ourselves with the revised zones and maps, and update our emergency plans accordingly.

THERE'S STILL TOMORROW.
Italy, subtitles, 2023, Dramatic comedy
Delia lives in Rome in the late 1940s in a working-class community which is slowly but surely rebuilding itself after the war. She shares a small flat with her domineering husband, their three children and her sick father-in-law.
Delia resolutely deals with the daily challenges of family life and has a best friend with whom she shares moments of levity. Delia’s dream though is for her daughter, Marcella to one day have a better life than she does. Delia is resigned to her fate - the good with the bad - until one day a mysterious letter arrives.
"An inspiring story that delights in small victories and the dream of female empowerment." - Screen International
