Poachers on Mellons Bay Beach

Roger from Somerville

There are a male and female Chinese couple who are regularly stealing the rock oysters from Mellons Bay Beach.

They have been warned by beach lovers many times.

There are a male and female Chinese couple who are regularly stealing the rock oysters from Mellons Bay Beach.

They have been warned by beach lovers many times.

Yesterday the woman took 3/4 carrier bags full away off the beach. I stopped the male and took another full bag from him.

The limit is 50 per person per day,

Fisheries are aware and have photos and videos of the individuals, What we do not have so far is a car number plate.

If you are there at low tide please watch out for them at the far end of the beach. Do not confront them but if you can get a number plate do call fisheries.

We need to protect our beaches and residents from all greedy people.

Thank you.

- We may beat the price 5%-50% less if you have a formal quote from another company.

- After discussing it with you, we may adjust the size, stone materials, and layout to reduce your cost.

WHY OUR PRICE IS MUCH CHEAPER?
Most of the headstones in New Zealand are imported from overseas. Our cost is much cheaper, because:

-Stone is cheaper. Our family owns a stone manufacturer overseas, we bulk-buy headstones from their factory directly at low prices.

INTENSIFICATION - 2 million extra dwellings in AUCKLAND!

Peter from Cockle Bay

People be aware that Auckland Council proposes a replacement plan change to facilitate an additional 2 million houses (meaning an extra 6 million people!!!)
And all this when the AUP already caters for 900k more dwellings which to my mind is already way over the top.

People be aware that Auckland Council proposes a replacement plan change to facilitate an additional 2 million houses (meaning an extra 6 million people!!!)
And all this when the AUP already caters for 900k more dwellings which to my mind is already way over the top.

One travesty, among many, is the treatment of minor transport routes e.g. Litten Road, Sandspit Road, Meadowlands Drive etc. as major transport corridors which will allow buildings of at least 6 Storeys

To add insult to injury there will be more MHS and less SHZ meaning more 3 X 3 storied mushrooms next door. And yes, more MHU as well
In quick summary:
1. Terrace Housing and Apartments (THAB) along all of Litten Road; the north – south stretch of Sandspit Road, and Meadowlands and Millhouse Drives.
2. Increases in the Mixed House Urban and Mixed House Suburban zones in our area. Both zones allow for more intense housing development.
3. Significant reductions in the Single House Zone (SHZ)
4. Greater intensification for the Howick Village area.

Saturday is one of the last opportunities for your local Councillor Maurice Williamson to receive feedback from the good folk of the Howick Ward on their thoughts about this surreptitious move to change the face of Howick (and all Auckland) forever.

Join HRRA (Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association) for their AGM and Meet the Candidates (Councillors and Mayoral) event where, among many other things, this Intensification sleight of hand will be exposed by Councillor Williamson. He wants to hear your views before he and fellow Councillors vote on, one of the most important issues in Howick’s and Auckland’s history.

The meetings start promptly at 1:30pm Saturday 30 August at the Howick Bowling Club 33 Selwyn Road. Refreshments from 1:00pm.

All welcome
