Auckland Heritage Festival-Heritage Walk: Papatoetoe railway precinct
Join members of the Papatoetoe Historical Society on a walk through the railway heritage precinct.
The arrival of rail to Papatoetoe in 1875 had a huge impact on the lives of residents and surrounding areas. A journey by train brings back many memories. This heritage walk starts at the relocated Old Papatoetoe Railway Station which is now a café. It goes past former railway houses and buildings, crosses the footbridge to the current railway station and back to the beginning.
Afterwards, you can see inside the station building and view railway memorabilia.
Date: Saturday 12 October 2019, 2pm-4pm Old Papatoetoe Railway station 1 St George St, Papatoetoe

So we want to hear what you think:

-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
