Sports Center
I asked if the proposed aquatic and sports center in our area was still being planned?
Response from Whau Board?
Kia ora Duncan,
Thank you for your enquiry.
As part of the 2018 Long-term Plan, the Whau Local Board successfully advocated to secure funding from Auckland Council’s Governing Body for the development of an aquatic and recreational facility in the Whau area. They local board has continued to advocate strongly to advance the site identification and implementation of this facility.
Unfortunately, the financial impact of COVID-19 has created uncertainty around the delivery of this project and the likelihood is that it will be further delayed. The Whau Local Board is absolutely committed to this project as it has been consistently identified as a high priority to the local communities.
Thank you.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated

If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
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.
