Second fruit fly in Northcote Point
Unfortunately a second fruit fly has been found in a trap at Northcote Point, not far from where the previous fly was caught :(
That is the third fly caught on the North Shore: 1 in Devonport; 2 in Northcote Point.
There is no change to the Northcote/Birkenhead Controlled Area Notice (CAN) zones at this stage. Please continue to adhere to the restrictions in place for the movement of home grown fruit and vegetables, and keep an eye out for this invader! if you find something suspicious, please call 0800 80 99 66.

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)
.
