With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?

Work is now underway on desilting the ponds at Onepoto Domain, and should be completed before Christmas. During this work, the end of the carpark and turning circle will be fenced off to hold bins to store silt from the ponds.
The Kaipātiki Local Board asked for the ponds to be looked at again due complaints from the public on water quality and flooding issues. As a result, the following programme of work is now underway, primarily focused on the water quality:
* Removal of Raupo and silt at Northern Tributary (area E)
* Silt removal at Northern Inlet (area A)
* Silt removal around bridge (area B)
* Silt removal around outlet (area C)
* Silt removal around Western Side of Pond (area D)
* Outlet structure maintenance/cleaning (area F)
* Outlet pipe flushing (area G)
Sailboat Clubs:
I've had confirmation that the sailing groups that use the ponds should be unaffected, but if that needs to change that they will be provided with plenty of warning.
Future:
The Healthy Water department of Council has informed the Local Board that "The pond does not function effectively as a stormwater treatment device as it was not a purposely built stormwater treatment pond and won’t meet our current pond/wetland standards. Our opinion would be this pond requires further attention and redesign to meet GD01 standards, including the addition of an appropriate forebay and bathymetry, and possibly a new outlet structure and pipe. A planning assessment should be completed to size those features and could be an improvement in the future."

Last week, a helicopter delivered materials onto the "yellow" tracks on the attached map. These tracks currently have loose aggregate on them to be spread over the surface and compacted, so are not safe to use. When work has been completed on track #1, it will be reopened while work continues on track #2.
The "green" tracks will remain open during the project.

One of the biggest factors in getting a good night’s sleep is the comfort of your mattress. If you regularly wake up with muscle or joint stiffness, interrupted sleep, or your mattress is making more noise than usual then it's time to replace and refresh.
Experts recommend a change of mattress every 8-10 years, so if you haven't changed your mattress within those years then now is a good time to do so.
Investing in your dream sleep can pay a huge factor for your health, and once you’ve found the right mattress the thought of replacing it will be the last thing on your mind.
A mattress is a long-term hold, not a life-long hold.
