North Shore gang issues won't be solved by arrests alone, police say
Kia ora neighbours. A new community policing team on the North Shore says local gang issues won’t be solved by arrests alone.
Gang issues, family violence and rangatahi (young people) were the key focus of a hui with community leaders in Beach Haven on Thursday, led by Northcote MP Shanan Halbert.
The meeting followed the shooting of a house on Mirage Place on June 4, which police are investigating alongside a spate of Auckland shootings linked to gang rivalry.
Waitematā East area prevention manager Inspector Todd Moore-Carter said everyone should be allowed to feel safe in their own home, especially children.
Waitematā Māori responsiveness manager and Pouwhirinaki (dependable person) Inspector Todd Bartlett added it was a community problem as well as a police problem.
“We’re not going to arrest our way out of this.”

Update on 13 Cresta Avenue and 96 Beach Haven Road, Beach Haven
Last year the proposal to build 72 dwellings across land that is zoned for single houses was quite rightly refused by a hearing panel.
Now the developer has applied for a change to the zoning of the land under Unitary Plan to make it easier to allow their development when they next apply.
It is called Plan Change 99 and is open for public consultation until 17 May 2024.
See here for the documents and how to submit:

Plan Change 99 seeks to:
* rezone approximately 7,147m2 of land, at 13 Cresta Avenue and 96 Beach Haven Road, Beach Haven, from Residential – Single House Zone to Residential – Mixed Housing Urban Zone
* introduce a precinct to both sites which incorporates the Medium Density Residential Standards in accordance with section 77G(1) and Schedule 3A of the Resource Management Act 1991.

Free BBQ! Walk the new track!
This is a new step-free route between Kauri Glen Road and Tui Glen Road, with a refurbished track (including steps) to Raymond Terrace. The new bridge is around 6 storeys high with a very impressive view of the forest tree tops.
The new tracks, bridge and boardwalk have been built to a standard to help prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease, which is especially important in this park.
*** Please always clean your shoes, bikes, prams and wheelchairs at the stations. ***
Note: We made the decision to allow public access earlier than expected to prevent further damage to the forest by those who were throwing the fences into the trees 🙁
