Greenslade Reserve Stage 2
Work is due to begin soon on Stage 2 of the Greenslade Reserve stormwater project, which includes lowering the sportsfield and creating an urban wetland (part of the Te Ara Awataha greenway).
Stage 2 was due to be delayed but can now proceed, as it is part of the wider Northcote Development project that has received "Shovel-Ready" funding from the Government.
Works include lowering the sportsfield and the installation of an improved stormwater system to reduce the risk of flooding in the surrounding area including the town centre.
The following new amenities will also be included as part of this project:
• a flourishing urban wetland
• a high-performance sports field
• new terraced seating, BBQ area and walkway.
During construction, there will be no access to the reserve. Works are anticipated to be complete mid-2021.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
