Major work is coming to Beach Haven Roa
Major work is coming to Beach Haven Road between Tramway Rd and Lancaster Rd, including a full rebuild of the road and improved drainage.
Phase 1 of the project prepares the road (drains, roadside edge, and footpaths) and will take 9 weeks with night works for much of that.
The road will be fully closed during the day for the first week, from Sunday 21st to Sunday 28th September with a detour in place. There will also be day works for a week after that.
Phase 2 is the road rebuild and resurfacing to make it stronger and longer lasting. it will be carried out in Late December, with more info on that to come.

Phase 1 includes:
• Installing new underground drains
• Replacing the old footpath and roadside drains
• Upgrading stormwater system
• Laying new concrete footpath and roadside edge
• Final resurfacing with new asphalt
• Expect traffic delays, especially during peak times. We will need to temporarily close bus stops, and some services will be affected – please use the AT mobile app or the QR codes on posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.
• Temporary vehicle access to local properties will be maintained, however this access won’t be available on the day of concrete pours and whilst the concrete cures. Residents will be contacted 24 hours prior to the concrete pours to help accommodate any specific needs. If your driveway is restricted, you will need to park nearby and walk home. On-street parking will be limited.
• Footpaths will remain accessible to local residents.
• Council waste and recycling collection will continue as normal. If access to your bin collection spot is restricted, our team will assist you with an alternative location.
• Bus stops may move, but we’ll manage access to homes. Please use the AT mobile app or posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.

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?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
88% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
12% No. This would be impossible in practice.
