Beach Haven Coastal Connection Stage 1
I'm very happy to announce that the long-awaited upgrade to tracks in Shepherds Park is beginning soon 🙂
Stage 1 of the Beach Haven Coastal Connection upgrade is scheduled to begin work on Monday 14 February and be completed by Monday 30 May 2022 (weather dependent).
Work hours will be: 7:30am-6pm Mon-Sat, with no work on Sundays or public holidays.
The work is taking place on most of the tracks throughout the bush area on the western side of the park, and this area will be completely fenced off during this time. The area is marked with a purple circle on the attached map (excluding the green track). The area in the red circle will be worked on first so that it can be reopened as soon as possible.
Stage 1 also includes an upgrade of the entrance to Hellyers Creek Reserve in the dip on Beach Haven Road.
Stage 2 of the Beach Haven Coastal Connection will be going before the Kaipatiki Local Board in March for approval. Stage 2 includes the green track on the attached map, an upgrade of the lookout area, and an upgrade of all tracks throughout Hellyers Creek Reserve around the coastline, making those tracks as step-free as possible.
If you would like more information on stage 2, please contact the project manager Leigh Radovan on (021) 275 2418 or Leigh.Radovan@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
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?
-
60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... 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.
