Proposal to lower speed limits - Verran Primary School

John Gillon from

Auckland Transport are proposing to lower the official speed limits on 800 Auckland roads, particularly around schools. Public consultation is now open.
Locally, the proposal includes lowering the speed limit from 50kph to 30kph on Verran Road, West Glade Cres and Caram Place for Verran Primary School.
Elsewhere on the North Shore, there are proposals to lower speeds around Sunnynook Primary School, Hauraki Primary School, Mairangi Bay Primary School, Murrays Bay Primary School, Long Bay Primary School and Long Bay College.

The schools that AT have chosen are those where vehicles already effectively travel at or close to 30kph anyway. Schools where engineering (such as speed humps) would be required to lower speeds, are not included in the proposal.
All other schools will be looked at once the "Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2021" change is implemented.

Consultation is open now until Thursday 14 November.

For more information and to give feedback on the proposal, see:

Note: This proposal is not related to the speed-reduction trials underway around Willow Park School, Glenfield Primary School and Birkdale Primary School.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
