Online training - How to protect New Zealand taonga, kauri trees
Join this kauri protection online training. FREE for Kaipātiki Local Board residents.
Kauri dieback disease is a serious problem in New Zealand. On this training, you will learn more about the problem and what we can do to stop this plague from spreading.
This is a combined training that has 2 sections:
1) The kauri care for homeowners section will be done first. We recommend anyone with kauri on their property to join in, or if you are simply interested in understanding the disease and maintaining the health and safety of our precious taonga.
2) The kauri dieback certification section of the workshop focuses on upskilling volunteers to safely continue to work in areas with kauri. The certification will allow you to enter the reserve in the case of kauri dieback closures.
Sponsored by the Auckland Council Kauri Dieback team.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
