Le Roy's Bush Track Upgrade - Stage 2

John Gillon from

As we move into Alert Level 3, some council projects will be starting up again, but with protocols in place to prevent viral transmission.
From the end of this week, stage 2 of the Le Roy's Bush Reserve track upgrades will begin, and will continue in stages until late-August. A helicopter will be used to drop in materials over the next week.
The tracks from Dudding Sportsfield to the end of the new boardwalk that was built in stage 1 (see highlighted area on the attached map: S12, S14) and the track from Fairfax Ave (S13) will be closed until work is completed at the end of June.
When that has been completed, the tracks from Dudding Sportsfield to Wilding Ave (S16, S17, S18, S19) will be closed for work until approximately the end of July. The track from Onewa Road (S2) will be worked on in July or August.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
