As part of the Mayor's 2023/24 budget cuts, councillors agreed to remove one third of all public rubbish bins from across Auckland.
While it is true that there are some bins that are close together and probably not needed, this decision was purely based on cost-saving rather than whether the bins are actually needed.
Facing this enforced cut, the Kaipātiki Local Board directed staff to not remove bins at park entrances or bus stops. But we will still have bins removed from within parks, town centres and local shopping areas.
Meanwhile, the Local Board has decided to fund some wheelie bins in wooden frames that will replace some of the lost bins in high-use areas of parks (these will be installed at a later date). Hopefully that will help to mitigate some of the loss.

What can we anticipate?
The RBNZ has adopted a hawkish stance, signaling potential rate hikes amidst concerns over domestic inflation - a sentiment echoed by ANZ's Chief Economist, NZ's largest bank.
Contrastingly, the majority of economists have taken a dovish position, cautioning against rate increases. They underscore the impacts of the successive rate hikes (+4.25%) over the past 2.5yrs and the softening underlying GDP, despite robust migration figures.
Adding to the complexity, our Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, has characterized the nation's current state as "fragile."
Market sentiment have been oscillating. Wholesale market funding rates experienced a -1.16% decline from 4 Oct to 29 Dec 2023, (refer to 2yr swap rate graphic). However, since then, they have rebounded, increasing +0.57%. Concurrently, retail mortgage rates have seen some reduction but not to the same extent.
Market dynamics are influenced by a plethora of factors, including local and international data releases like employment figures, inflation rates, and GDP growth. Moreover, commentary from influential figures - sometimes referred to as "jawboning" - can significantly sway market sentiment.
Ultimately, the RBNZ holds the reins, but it's far from a predetermined outcome.
