Northcote ferry service will be back in operation from Monday
Good news - The Northcote ferry service will be back in operation from Monday morning (weather permitting).
Auckland Transport and Fullers360 have spent the week implementing changes to prevent a repeat of the incident last weekend that hurt a ferry crew-member and stopped the ferry service.
Changes include the installation of additional hooks at Te Onewa Northcote Point wharf to allow improved use of fixed lines (used to safely secure a vessel during boarding and alighting by customers), and improvements around the management of ropes and fixed lines, updated crew instructions, and additional measures to be delivered over coming weeks and months.

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)
