Kauri Tracks Update
Today the Kaipātiki Local Board received an update on planned track changes to protect kauri from dieback disease. We’ve managed to secure 47% of the total Auckland-wide kauri budget to be spent in the Kaipātiki area on upgrading tracks and installing cleaning stations!
Thanks to the Shore Action team on the Local Board for advocating for this budget over the last 2 years, while also pre-emptively closing tracks to protect the kauri. A formal update will come to the Local Board’s September meeting detailing the proposed changes and their timeframes.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
