Sneak Peek at Hellyers Creek Reserve bridges!
Here's another sneak peek - two new bridges at Hellyers Creek Reserve, Beach Haven!
The Hellyers Creek Reserve track goes around the coast from Shepherds Park to Beach Haven Rd. The Kaipātiki Local Board is upgrading the entire route, making it step-free. The first section that will be opened goes from Shepherds Park to Paragon Ave, and includes the two new bridges pictured.
Last week local board member Tim Spring and I were given a walkthrough by the contractors and it's going to be fabulous. A huge improvement over the steep, gnarly steps.
Some work has also started on the next section, which goes from Paragon Ave through to the end of Lancaster Rd and includes another bridge. The final section to be worked on will run from Lancaster Rd to Beach Haven Rd.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
