Tāmaki Drive Closure: Tuesday 28 October
A section of Tāmaki Drive in Auckland will be closed for a short time on Tuesday 28 October, due to a planned hīkoi.
The seaward side of Tāmaki Drive (eastbound) will be closed between Ōkahu Bay and The Strand in Parnell, from 11.45am until around 1.15pm.
The partial road closure is being put in place to ensure the safety of all road users while the hīkoi takes place.
Motorists are advised to plan ahead for any traffic delays and to consider taking alternative routes where possible.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
