Kaipatiki Road - Changes to the one-way section from Thursday 28 September:
As part of the Kahika Wastewater Upgrade Project, contractors will be repairing two slips along the roadside that occurred during the storms earlier this year. CB Civil will replace a damaged section of stormwater pipe and construct a retaining wall for Auckland Council. At the same time Fulton Hogan will construct another retaining wall for Auckland Transport.
This work will take approximately 10 weeks and during this time, the one-way portion of Kaipatiki Road will change direction.
Also the one-way section will extend into Easton Park Parade, so no traffic will be able to go up Easton Park Parade from Kaipatiki Rd. See the attached map for how traffic will be affected from 28 September.
The next stage after this will be to go past the Stanley Rd/Kaipatiki Rd roundabout.
• Work hours are typically from 7:00am to 5:00pm on Monday to Friday with potential work on Saturdays.
• Vehicles will only be allowed to drive downhill on Easton Park Parade past the road closure. Uphill traffic will be detoured up Kaipatiki Road.
• Signage will indicate the work zones and any closed lanes/routes.
For property owners on Easton Park Parade:
• Every effort will be made to minimise noise and vibrations and ensure that they are within the permitted levels.
• Driveway access will be disrupted to some properties as the works proceed past them. Watercare will be in communication with affected properties before any work commences and arrange alternative parking.
• You will ALWAYS have pedestrian and wheel chair access to your property - only vehicle access is affected.

Primary School Tutoring – North Shore
Hi neighbours,
I’m a local primary school teacher with experience teaching Years 3–6, and I’m offering a small number of after-school tutoring sessions for primary-aged students.
I can support children with:
• Reading and comprehension
• Writing skills
• Maths confidence
• Catch-up support or extension for capable learners
My focus is on helping students build confidence as well as skills, using practical strategies that work in the classroom.
📍 I’m based on the North Shore, close to Willow Park Primary School.
⏰ Current availability: Thursdays at 4pm, with a few fortnightly session options also available.
$60 for 45 minute sessions.
If you’d like to chat about whether tutoring could help your child, feel free to send me a message.

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!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngāruawāhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
