New Beach Haven Wharf Approved
We're finally moving forward with a replacement Beach Haven Wharf :)
Yesterday the Kaipatiki Local Board approved the attached design and also approved proceeding to consenting and construction of the new recreational wharf.
Physical works is expected to begin before the end of 2019 and be completed by the end of March 2020.
The project will rebuild the damaged parts of the wharf and piles, strengthening and upgrading it to today's safety standards, while keeping the heritage style of the wharf and providing a new floating pontoon platform for fishing and diving.
Thankyou to the project manager Peter Bilton for navigating the complexities of this heritage coastal project, and to the Beach Haven Placemaking Group and Larking Boat Steering Group members for their substantial input into the new design.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.2% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
