Auckland bus suspension: What you need to know

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

The suspension comes after tensions between NZ Bus and union members as they tried to settle on a new collective agreement regarding pay and work hours. Union members had been declining bus fares from passengers, and planned to do so until Christmas before the suspension began. Now drivers will go without pay until Christmas Eve.
NZ Bus' biggest area is central Auckland, all of the Link services, and those serving the main isthmus arterials to eastern suburbs and along Mt Eden, Dominion and Sandringham Roads, as well as some to the outer west and northwest, and on the North Shore.
How has the bus driver suspension affected you? Let us know in the comments.

Hi neighbours,

Construction at Crash Corner (Church and Victoria Street intersection, Onehunga) is well underway!

As we gear up for the busy part of Christmas, construction will halt from Monday 9th December (today) and will re-commence on Thursday 26th December.

During this second phase of construction, the intersection will be fully closed. From the 26th December to the 15th January, detours will be in place but access to properties around the intersection will be maintained.

I hope you are keeping sane during the silly season. Please remember to drive safe on our local roads, particularly as road layouts change.

For any project related questions, please contact site manager Gareth Jones on 027 403 1551 or my office on 0800 DENISEMP.

Hi Neighbours. I have an export crate free for removal if you are looking to export something over the holiday period.


Measurements are 1740w x 1200l x 1900h.


Being wood this can obviously be cut down and modified to suit much smaller sizes. Two of the sides have been removed. Came from Japan to NZ so should be in untreated timber and perfect to re export.


Let me know if interested direct on (022) 042 0272. Have a great day ahead. Joseph

Hazy skies caused by the tragic Australian bush fires are set to linger this weekend.
Northwesterly winds have blown a hazy plume of smoke across the Tasman Sea, and while it has mostly affected the South Island in recent weeks, it has moved up the country.
The "robust plume" is expected to head to the South Island late on Saturday.
The haze has been causing a yellowish-orange, hue at sunset, making for some sweet sunset photos. Share your photos in the comments!
