Update on Beach Haven Wharf rebuild (wooden wharf)
The recreational wharf has had restrictions on it for a few years now due to the piles and stairs deteriorating. And because of the heritage designation and engineering considerations, it has taken a very long time to achieve all of the required consents needed to rebuild the wharf. But the end is now in sight!
The project has been approved to go out for tender, which should happen in mid-January. A contract for construction should then be approved in late-February. But it could then take up to 3 months for the parts to be fabricated for the new pontoon portion, as there are only two NZ manufacturers and there are world-wide supply chain delays for steel.
So realistically, construction should be underway sometime between April - June 2021.
Background:
The project to replace the Beach Haven Wharf will rebuild the damaged parts of the wharf and piles, strengthening and upgrading it to today's safety standards, while keeping the heritage style of the wharf and providing a new floating pontoon platform for fishing and diving. See the attached design approved by the Kaipātiki Local Board last year.

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
