OWAIRAKA MT ALBERT WILL HAVE 345 MATURE TREES CHOPPED DOWN
Starting Monday 11 November Tupuna Maunga Authority will cull 345 trees from Owairaka Mt Albert. In March we felt the pain of losing 153 huge mature exotic trees, as well as memorial trees from our Mangere Maunga that people planted over the years. We were helpless to do anything to save the trees, and the birds lost their habitats. Just as some of us cried, the same thing is now happening for trees on Owairaka Mt Albert. In nine months TMA will have cut down almost 1000 mature healthy trees from four of Auckland's maunga. Fourteen maunga will lose such trees including One Tree Hill and Mt Eden.
There is a March on Mt Albert today, Sunday 10 Nov.
Individually we are one drop. Together we are an ocean.
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?
-
88.5% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
11.5% No. This would be impossible in practice.
