Consultation on Beach Haven Coastal Walkway!

John Gillon from

Consultation is now open on the next stage of the Beach Haven Coastal Walkway!
Following the consultation a few years ago, we upgraded the existing tracks to step-free and built new bridges.
Now we would like to know which new section we should build:
➤ Option 1: a path to connect Tui Park with the new section of coastal boardwalk at Shepherds Park.
➤ Option 2: a path to connect Hellyers Creek Reserve with Kahika Point Reserve in Birkdale, and around the coast to the Kaipatiki Rd bridge.
We only have funds for one of the above options, so which should we prioritise?

▶ Have your say here until 14 July: akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
▶ Attend the session here:
10am-2pm Saturday 12 July, Birkenhead United Clubroom
▶ Attend the online presentation:
7pm Tuesday 8 July. Email communityconsultation@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz to register.

The ultimate vision is for an easily accessible route between Tui Park, Shepherds Park, Hellyers Creek Reserve, and on to Bayview and Eskdale Reserve and beyond. We've already upgraded the middle section, providing a popular step-free route between Shepherds Park and Hellyers Creek Reserve, and now we need your help to choose the next stage to be completed. Will it be a boardwalk between Tui Park and Shepherds Park, or a bridge and boardwalk between Hellyers Creek Reserve and Kahika Point Reserve? Please take 10 minutes out of your day and let us know which of the two options we should prioritise!

Next steps:
* 20 August 2025: Feedback will be presented to the Kaipātiki Local Board to approve the option.
* August 2025 to January 2026: The detailed design and consenting process will be completed.
* February 2026 to September 2026: We will prepare for and begin construction.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new
