Happy Matariki 2022!
It's a time to celebrate new life, to remember those who’ve passed, and to plan for the future. Matariki is a time to spend with whānau and friends – to enjoy kai (food), waiata (song), tākaro (games), and haka.

Native planting at this site not only enhances a beautiful recreation site for residents of Tāmaki Makaurau, but also provides erosion control, helping prevent runoff into the harbour, and associated significant soil and water quality benefits.
In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip spent a day picnicking at Wenderholm — so come and help plant native trees for the Jubilee at this special site.

The Devonport-Takapuna Local Board passed a similar resolution opposing the sale of Council's stake in "Own Your Own Home" housing at Bardia Street and Bayswater Ave, and Danielle Grant and Ruth Jackson spoke to the Auckland Council Finance Committee on behalf of both local boards.
Despite this, the Finance Committee voted in favour of the sale at a closed-door meeting. 😠
While the confidentiality of this vote has now lifted, the voting record of each councillor isn't yet available. We also do not know who will be buying council's share in the houses and land.
NZ Herald article: www.nzherald.co.nz...
The "Own Your Own Home" scheme gave older people the chance to buy flats in small pensioner villages around Auckland at an affordable price, with council owning and give them the security of a life-long roof over their head. If they move to other housing, or pass away, council re-purchases them and then sells them again.
Despite the housing crisis, many units have been left vacant and un-maintained for years, setting the scene for their sale.
It is not known what will now happen with the houses, however council has stated that no current owners will be affected, only when the owners pass away or sell.
Attached is the resolution of the Kaipātiki Local Board, and a map of the affected houses at John Bracken Way, Beach Haven.
Do you get enough sleep?
