For anyone thinking of enrolling their child at Murrays Bay Intermediate, an update to the description of the Home Zone has been made here:

(click on Written description of enrolment zone)
This update is not yet shown on the Murrays Bay Intermediate website.
Main update I noticed: Lavery place and adjoining streets have been added to the list.
A few other newly developed streets have also been added.
This update has apparently been made in response to an Official Information Act request. See the OIA documents here (dated 14 April 2023):

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
