Parents urge skatepark users to wear helmets after son's fatal BMX accident

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

In North Shore teenager Kirill Koninin’s bedroom is a stack of empty shoe boxes.

The 17-year-old BMX rider and skateboarder would wear through his shoes “like fire”, father Vladimir Koninin​ said, following Kirill’s death on Christmas Eve.

On December 23, Kirill fell from his bike at a skatepark in Albany, suffering a head injury. Doctors at Auckland City Hospital later told Vladimir and mother Oxana Koninina​ that their son’s brain surgery had been unsuccessful, and the heartbreaking decision was made to turn off his life support the next day.

The family are hoping to dedicate a bench to Kirill at the park, in an effort to persuade others to wear helmets.

Update on 13 Cresta Avenue and 96 Beach Haven Road, Beach Haven

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

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:
www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

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.
