Expect heavy traffic and changeable weather over Queen’s Birthday Weekend

The NZ Transport Agency is encouraging drivers heading away for Queen’s Birthday Weekend in the Auckland and Northland region to take care and be prepared for heavy traffic, delays and changeable weather.

Metservice is forecasting a change in the weather with showers and low temperatures in the region over the weekend, so it’s important that drivers stay alert, be patient and don’t rush.

NZTA predicts the heaviest time for traffic heading north out of Auckland on SH1 will be 1pm–6pm on Friday between Pūhoi and Wellsford. For traffic returning on Monday the busiest time will be 11am – 6pm.

For motorists heading south out of Auckland, it’s heaviest at Takanini on SH1 between 10:30am and 7:30pm on Friday. Coming back, the busiest time on Monday is 10:30am – 8pm.

More than 800 people in Auckland are living without shelter?

If you want to create positive change and support innovative programmes like Housing First, alternatives to foster care, and the vibrant Merge Café, all you have to do is sleep rough for one night at Eden Park by joining the Lifewise Big Sleepout.

You can be part of the solution in a bold way, by stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the realization that as Kiwis, we can all be just a couple of steps away from homelessness ourselves.

We are also hosting a morning tea on Wednesday the 12th of June for you to pop in and get to know our social work team.
