SH1 Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway project is underway

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

Today NZTA sent me an email that planning for the Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway project is underway, with a preferred route due to be confirmed before the end of the year.
The Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway project is part of the wider Whangārei to Te Hana programme, aimed at building more resilient transport connections between Northland and Auckland.
If we have an interest in Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway, we can subscribe to project updates by email here.
Highlights of the project include four-laning 22km of SH1, the possibility of managed lanes (prioritising public transport, freight, multiple occupancy), separated walking and cycling paths, and of course safety improvements.

Civic Honour Awards 2024

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Congratulations to Jenni Moore, Marilyn Cox, Don McDonald-Spice, and Dr George Perera; the 4 recipients of our 2024 Civic Honour Awards. A Civic Honour is the highest award we can bestow, recognising outstanding voluntary service to the community.
🏅🏅🏅🏅

Between them Dr Perera, Marilyn, Don and Jenni have served the widest needs of diverse communities - medical, social, cultural, artistic, environmental and much more. They have shown a deep understanding of people, issues, and the enormous relief and sometimes joy, that a helping hand can provide. Each is an example of the best each of us can offer to the community in our lifetime. It is a privilege to give the recognition they deserve, and we'll be telling you more about each of their stories in the coming weeks.

Do you know someone else who deserves this recognition? Nominations are now open for next year's ceremony, and must be made by 1 May 2025: www.wdc.govt.nz...
