Vandals have allegedly poisoned and cut down dozens of native trees and shrubs of huge significance to Māori near Takapuna Beach.
Around 23 trees and shrubs at Te Uru Tapu (The Sacred Grove) at the northern end of the beach were discovered to have been vandalised during a regular inspection by Auckland Council’s senior urban forest specialist on Tuesday.
The grove of ancient pōhutukawa trees is of high significance to mana whenua, with the trees and vegetation in the area protected by the Auckland Unitary Plan.
A section of the grove has been fenced off since June 2018, due to the risk of trees falling onto a boardwalk below. It appeared someone had deliberately entered the restricted area to cut down the trees, which included karo, karaka, nīkau, tōtara and coprosmas. Drill holes were also found at the base of three mature karo trees, which suggested they had been poisoned.
None of the trees are expected to survive. Auckland Council has launched an investigation and is asking anyone with information to email sacredgrove@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz. Click 'read more' for the full story.

Well I am at my wits end. Do we have a movie buff that might be able to help this old git out,(me). Am looking to find out a very old war film, the scene is a German warship in need of repair,with British POW on board is taken into a mooring surrounded by mountains for repair, a POW escapes and goes ashore with a rifle to snipe and stop the repairs being done so the British navy can catch up with them, I think it was black and white.

Super tranquil, tucked off the street and overlooking Milford, it is one of the most sought- after areas in the Bays. This luxury residence exceeds on many levels and a personal viewing will allow true appreciation of all that is on offer. Level 3 viewings are by appointment.
The impressive entry foyer and high ceilings set the scene for the grand proportions throughout this home which is approximately 348sqm over three levels.
On entry level there’s massive four car garaging, currently repurposed as a home theatre, photographic studio and storage which are easy to reconfigure. A double bedroom and adjacent bathroom (utilised as a home office) is a perfect refuge for a teenager or guests.
Ascending the stunning atrium staircase, the abundance of natural light enhances all areas of this home. On this second level, the impressive open plan kitchen, dining, and family living area form the hub of the home. Featuring high stud, floor to ceiling doors and windows, and sliding walls to enclose the cosy lounge with gas fire, a master stroke in design. Easy flow to a gorgeous balcony on one side, with iconic panoramic views, and a sheltered patio and garden on the other, provides seamless alfresco living for lounging, entertaining or dining. The adjacent bedroom wing includes a family bathroom and two very generous double bedrooms with wonderful features.
The stunning Master suite takes up the entire upper level. The dazzling views take centre-stage, from Rangitoto across the city to the Waitakeres and beyond. Featuring a truly spacious light-filled bedroom, enormous walk- in wardrobe, bathroom including bidet and spa-bath, this is irrefutable luxury. Adjacent is an additional bedroom or private office.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.
Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.
Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
