Hi Auckland,

What are your water-saving hacks?

Water restrictions for the city are to remain in place until August, and similar bans on water use may return next summer.

Watercare is set to ask council to remove restrictions on outdoor water use, if rain forecasts, the state of the region’s storage lakes, and a new supply boost all eventuate as hoped.

Watercare said Aucklanders had significantly cut water use, and the biggest supply boost – another 50 million litres a day from the Waikato River – should be available from August.

Presently, Auckland's dams are 51.4 per cent full compared with an average of 76.6, and Auckland's water usage is more than 10 per cent lower than Watercare had estimated.

The seed pods of this nasty pest plant are maturing now, and will soon release hundreds of seeds that are carried long distances by the wind www.weedbusters.org.nz...
Remove the pods (carefully - wear gloves to protect yourself from the irritating sap..) and put them in the rubbish, not your compost bin.

Pull up the root if you can, or cut the vine near the ground. Dab a blob of herbicide gel (if you have that) on the freshly-cut stump.

New Eastbound Off-ramp Opens: Auckland's North Shore

A new eastbound off-ramp from state highway 18 has opened at Paul Matthews Rd on Tuesday.

All east bound traffic will now drive through a new intersection at the road.

Under the new layout, drivers have to turn right at new traffic lights on the off-ramp to head to Unsworth Heights, state highway 1 at Constellation Drive or to East Coast Bays.

"This is a significant change to how people move around and as expected, we have seen queues on the off-ramp during the morning peak as everyone gets used to the new road layout," said Waka Kotahi national manager of infrastructure delivery Andy Thackwray.

“We’re advising that delays during peak hours will likely continue while people adjust to these changes and we’re asking people to plan ahead and allow extra time to travel.”

The transport agency has encouraged drivers to avoid state highway 18 and use alternative routes where possible as they get used to the changes.

People travelling from west Auckland to the city can use state highway 16 instead.

The number of vehicles using the off-ramp will decrease when the northbound connection between state highway 18 and state highway 1 opens in about 18 months, Waka Kotahi said.

The change in layout paves the way for construction of the new motorway lanes and shared paths, the agency said.

A transport upgrade will see the Northern Busway extended from Constellation to Albany Station.

It includes a new motorway connection between state highway 1 and state highway 18 and will access the western ring route, along with travel to Auckland International Airport.

It will deliver more than 7 km of walking and cycling paths, road and park connections.

Work is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.
