Suffer a sailor’s life on-board, as we navigate the southern oceans with Cook and company. It’s going to be all hands-on deck as you learn how to behave in His Majesty’s Royal Navy – avoid the dreaded cat o’ nine tails and sample some questionable 19th-century naval food.
Have you got what it takes? Well, let’s batten down the hatches and join in the fun in this overboard quest.

The realigned track is the first bush track to reopen after being upgraded to prevent kauri dieback disease, and part of the Kaipātiki Local Board's efforts to provide new and alternative tracks away from kauri trees in our parks.
A report is coming to the September Local Board meeting seeking approval for a number of other track changes in our parks. For Kauri Glen Reserve, this will include several other realignments, including a 16m high elevated treetop boardwalk! It will also include a proposal to temporarily close the paths to/from Raymond Tce and Tui Glen Rd until those tracks can be brought up to dieback-preventative standard.

"Kia ora tātou. My focus on your Board has been driving greater protection of our natural environment. Kaipātiki is now leading the way for Auckland Council.
I’m passionate about making Kaipātiki an even better place to live, work and play. I’m for vibrant town centres that reflect our heritage and our diversity, the development of a new coastal walkway to provide unparalleled access to our coastline, enhanced parks and pest-free reserves, and supporting local businesses.
I believe it is the small things that count – whether that’s shade sails over our playgrounds to protect our children from the sun or listening to you and taking action locally.
I'm for involving people in the decisions that affect them most so that Auckland takes local knowledge into account."
Shore Action is standing 6 strong members for the Kaipātiki Local Board and we'll be profiling them here over the next week. Stay tuned to meet the rest of our team.

"I was raised in Birkenhead, and I’m raising my family here. I love Kaipātiki and will work hard for this area.
I worked for over a decade as a senior mental health nurse and team leader. I am now an education charity trustee and kids’ sports coach. I have the skills and experience to work effectively with the wide range of people within Kaipātiki. I will push hard to get favourable outcomes for our community interests, with organisations like Auckland Transport.
I will advocate for Kaipātiki on: solutions to traffic congestion; improving our parks, sports and recreational facilities; promoting initiatives to get rid of pests or threats to our native bush; reducing the rubbish and wastewater polluting our streams and coastline; completing the walking and cycleway over the harbour bridge; and more!"

From AT:
“Our proposal responds to a request from the local community to address the issue of parked cars blocking the left turn lane on the Coronation Road approach to the roundabout. These minor parking restrictions are expected to greatly improve the movement of traffic through this intersection. While our proposal is aimed at improving traffic flow along Coronation Road, we recognise that these parking restrictions may impact people who live along the street. That is why we want to hear from you. Your community feedback will help us decide the final shape of these parking changes.”
Feedback closes Tuesday 20th August 2019.
Please submit your feedback at the below link, or comment below and I will pass it on:
