Liquor Ban at Downing St Domain, Glenfield

Last week the Kaipatiki Local Board approved a 24/7 liquor ban at Downing St Domain, Glenfield, after reviewing evidence of disorder at the park, and hearing from Snr Constable Paul Donaldson of the Police.
The new liquor ban will enable the police to deal with anyone who is drinking or causing issues in the park while under the influence of alcohol.
For many years, there have been shopping trolleys dumped in the park after transporting liquor. I recently counted 14 trolleys throughout the park, including dumped in the stream. There are also often beer cans, bottles, and broken glass around the pergola area, and has been regular damage to the seats, pergola, and rubbish bins.

Why can't we have public transport like Sydney? (We can, but...)

Todd Niall Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi Neighbours, Have you been to Sydney and marvelled at their trains and ferries and how cheap they are? And wondered why don't we have that here ? Well we can if we paid as much in subsidies as Sydneysiders do. To read more click on the link below.

Plan Change 26 - Birkenhead Point, Northcote Point and Devonport

This could affect many houses in the Birkenhead Point, Northcote Point and Devonport areas, as well as many others across Auckland.
However, the letter to inform residents is not easy to understand, and has been sent in the middle of the consultation period, leaving many without much time to submit.
At the Kaipātiki Local Board meeting on Wednesday, we passed a unanimous motion requesting Council to extend the consultation period. This followed two presentations from the public requesting an extension, as well as numerous correspondence requesting an extension.
The current submission deadline is 28 June.

I'm very happy that on Wednesday, the Kaipatiki Local Board approved the concept design and funding for the rebuild of the Kaipātiki Project Environment Centre building at 17 Lauderdale Road :)
The new Green Building will replace the existing leaking building in the same location in Lauderdale Reserve, adjacent to the nursery.
The design is the culmination of a huge amount of work by a steering group that the Local Board established in 2017, that included the Kaipātiki Project manager and staff, architects, iwi representative and council staff.
I'm looking forward to the opening already!
