How worried are you about coastal erosion in Auckland?
Auckland's shoreline could recede by 200m by 2130 if little to no action on climate change is taken.
The report, titled "Predicting Auckland's exposure to coastal instability and erosion", details the impacts this will have on communities the Auckland region.
Sea level rise is notoriously difficult for scientists to follow and this has meant coastal erosion rates have been difficult to predict.
New Zealand's sea levels have risen an average 1.67mm per year since 1989, but the Ministry of Environment says this will accelerate if little action is taken on climate change.

The organisation is appealing for volunteers to collect donations for the Red Puppy Appeal.

Hi neighbours,
It's been one year today since New Zealand's first reported case of Covid-19.
A person in their 60s flew from Iran via Bali and touched down in Aotearoa on February 26, 2020.

It's been one year today since New Zealand's first reported case of Covid-19.
A person in their 60s flew from Iran via Bali and touched down in Aotearoa on February 26, 2020.
Two days later, that person's test came back positive for Covid-19.
Later, a historical case emerged – a visitor to the Waikato who became ill with symptoms consistent with Covid-19 on or about February 21.
The past year has been incredible, turbulent and unprecedented.
How do you think New Zealand has done with its response to the pandemic?
What do you think we have done well as a nation to combat Covid-19?
What could we have done better to ward off the virus?
What have you learned from the pandemic?

The downsides appear to be land supply, red-tape with council and difficulty getting lending from banks. If you're willing to share your experience - good or bad - email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, otherwise leave a comment. Is there an aspect of transportable housing you'd like us to enquire about for you?
Hi, my neighbours

We know that these days many families live in south Auckland, like Papatoetoe and now east Auckland, like Botany are self-isolating as government required.
I just wonder could they apply any help during the isolation or does the government supply any help?
I worry that those people who are self-isolating are suffering from a lot of pressure. Not everyone is wealthy enough to self-isolate without support, right? Do they have enough income to pay for their rent or food or cover their basic expenses? Could they keep working at home and not lose their jobs? How can they get help? And if so from where?
Could anyone who has experienced this share their thoughts and feelings about this subject?
Kind regards
Betty

As students adjusted to the shift in their educational environment, many schools were ill-prepared to move to quickly to online learning. Schools such as St Peter’s in Cambridge were readily prepared for a seamless transfer between classroom and digital learning.
With each student ready to use online platforms such as Google Classroom and Hangouts, a streamlined shift was enabled as soon as the lockdown occurred.
Find out why more families are choosing St Peter’s at our Open Day on 12 March.
Join us to dance or bounce the afternoon away. Drama Queen's runs weekly classes at $5 per family with our afternoon sessions donated to groups and areas that otherwise do have an opportunity to attend such activities.
