Hi Neighbouring businesses,

The Government's decision to drop Auckland to alert level 1 was announced at 11.30 am on Friday.

Read how the timing of releasing the decision has affected an Auckland business in this story by Thomas Coughlan and John Anthony:

An Auckland restaurant owner says she will have to write off up to $15,000 in revenue for the week due to the Government’s decision to delay announcing when the city will move down alert levels.

A “preliminary decision” on whether to move from alert level 2 restrictions to level 1 was made Thursday evening, but the Government decided to wait until 11.30am on Friday to announce that from 12pm Auckland would move down to level 1.

Chand Sahrawat, co-owner of Auckland restaurants Cassia, Sidart and Sid at The French Cafe, said due to the delay in alert level change she would need to write off $10,000 to $15,000 in revenue for the week.

At alert level 2 her restaurants must operate one server per table, which slows down service, and have two metres between tables, resulting in the restaurants being able to operate at only 50 per cent capacity, she said.

"The whole process just slows down."

Without a warning on when alert levels would change the restaurants were not able to take forward bookings or order in the food they required because suppliers did not deliver ingredients on a weekend, she said.

Also, if they ordered ingredients but the move to level 1 did not go ahead when predicted then that could result in about $5000 of wasted ingredients, she said.

Chand said the Government seemed to move quickly into lockdown but took a long time to move down alert levels.

Hi Auckland,

A $452 million 21-storey high-rise building has been unveiled and is to be built above one of Auckland's new railway stations.

Auckland Council has signed over a $40 million, 125-year lease to a Malaysian developer which will see construction take place over the City Rail Link's underground Aotea Station set to open in 2024.

The plans include commercial and retail space, 60 apartments and a public plaza. The developer, Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB), will begin construction of the nearly half-billion dollar building after the completion of the station in 2024, and is expected to take about three years.

What do you think about the design?

We watch captivated by the spectacle of those impressive America's Cup yachts foiling at 40 knots across the Hauraki Gulf, and at the same time, it's hard not to have a salutary reflection on the last 12 months.

Almost to the day, we were celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine with special wine tastings, cooking classes, forage and gastronomic dinner for over 75 guests + our students. Many of our Christchurch team, including Lois, Philippe and Victoria had come up for the weekend. My mother-in-law, June Hay had also joined us from her retirement home in Christchurch. By Sunday 15 March, I was getting pretty nervous about Covid-19 and rather than have June stay in the North Island for a holiday, she returned home the next day. A few days later June's rest home went into lockdown and I counted the 14 days to see if we too had a NZSFW Covid Cluster. Fortunately not! See below some photos as we recalled the 10th Anniversary of the Christchurch Earthquakes.

Do you have bunions and think that surgery is the only answer?

Corrective Foot Solutions

Bunions affect 1 in 3 New Zealanders they can lead to pain and discomfort, which affects mobility, balance and quality of life. That’s not to mention the look of them and the difficulty of fitting shoes.

We’ve decided to run a special offer for people with bunions - “Bunion Evaluation” for only $33 (worth $85). Offer valid 12/02/21 - 12/03/21

Many doctors and podiatrists believe that surgery is the only way to fix a bunion. This is not true. Bunion surgery is painful and doesn’t address the underlying cause of a bunion, which is generally the way we walk and stand. Ideally, surgery should be considered as the last treatment option for bunions.

At Corrective Foot Solutions, we use a gentle, hands-on technique to effectively treat and correct bunions – which means there’s no need for surgery or orthotics. We use Foot Mobilisation Therapy to correct the underlying cause of your bunion by working on the misalignments in the foot, as well as strengthening the weakened muscles around the joints.

Pop in and see us at 272 level 3b Parnell Rd, Parnell, Auckland or give us a call on 092129250.
