Transport projects in Auckland have been given a $7.3 billion boost to be distributed over the next three years.

Major projects like the City Rail Link, Light Rail, Eastern Busway will be supported by the funds, as well highway upgrades and new walking and cycling connections.

It is part of a $24.3 billion transport package announced by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency on Tuesday.

Waka Kotahi spokesperson Steve Mutton said the funding will support growth with more accessible, sustainable travel options.

“Auckland is a world class city and it needs a world-class transport system that is safe and efficient to keep everyone moving as New Zealand’s largest city continues to grow,” he said.

Hi neighbours,

Hope you are staying safe and doing well! Coming back into lockdown, it has taken a while to settle into the new online style of working and learning. I am posting here for students who may be interested in online tutoring sessions during this difficult time, as exam times come near…


My name is Edmund Lu and am currently at University of Auckland studying Engineering and Applied Maths in my first year. I am happy to take on tutoring because I appreciate that through tutoring, we can convert good communication with students into a driving force for their effective learning and confidence building, and I enjoy supporting students for successful learning in their curricula.


I have tutored for quite a while with positive feedback and cover the range of Years 9-13 school students in Maths (arithmetic, trigonometry, basic calculus, L3 calculus), or general science. I have studied the IB Diploma Programme in high school, so am also available for IB Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Spanish (basic and intermediate foreign language classes).

If needed can also help with university foundation or first-year level maths (depends on which courses you would like). Rates can be discussed based on your needs and how I could help, and due to lockdown can obvious only operate online, but we can also try in-person after we’re back to L1! 😊

If it sounds right to you, please let me know of your interest via email (edmundl0212@gmail.com) or flip me a text message (0226509265).

Thanks for viewing and let's support each other through lockdown!

Aucklanders are being forced to evacuate their homes after severe rainfall overnight caused localised flooding.

Around 50 to 60 homes have been evacuated and an emergency shelter has been set up at 6 Henderson Valley Road.

West Auckland has been hit the worst with flooding in Helensville, Kumeu, Henderson Valley and Rānui.

Firefighters received around 170 weather related calls overnight.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said evacuation advice overrides Covid-19 restrictions.

Auckland’s two vaccination centres at the Trusts Arena and the Airport have been damaged and will not open until 11am.

SH16 through Kumeu is closed due to flooding between Matua Road and Riverhead Road, and Waka Kotahi has reports of fallen trees and slips across the wider network.

MetService said heavy rain is expected to continue throughout Tuesday.

Neighbourly spokesperson Sarah Moore encourages people to check in on their neighbours - especially if they’re elderly or alone.

“But ensure you're abiding by Level 4 rules consider emailing, texting or using Neighbourly to send a message. Even if they're doing well, the connection will mean a lot,” she said.

“When there's a break in the weather carefully head outside to check whether anything is blocking your drains or has come loose in a storm. Don't rush - things could be slippery. If you do notice damage make sure you take photos in case you need to lodge an insurance claim.”
