This year is the year of recovery from COVID-19, the economic impact and hit on Council revenue was real. Auckland Council is forecast to take a 1 billion dollar revenue hit because of COVID-19.

This 10-year budget aims to find a balance between investing in our city and not overburdening our residents.

It will provide for our city’s future while keeping our rates increases low compared to other growth cities in New Zealand, will help Auckland’s economy recover, support our communities, build water and housing infrastructure and improve our transport network.

We need your feedback on these issues and how we pay for them.

Masport the Goat

Hi All, Some of you will remember Masport the Goat who lived for many many years on West End Road (opposite the tennis club).

I've heard that there have been people & some children wondering where he is and if he's still alive. I'm please to say that yes, he is still in fine fettle, now 12 years old (was 3mths old when he came to West End) and living full time up at our farm in Waipu. He's still the adventure goat and has been making a few appearances at the local A&P shows, hiking and bushwalking along with the odd day at the beach too. Masport for a time had another adoptee rescue Wild Beanie (see before and after photo...yes it is the same goat) stay with us at West End while he adjusted from a life on the run at Mt Wellington's Hamlin Hill, learning to trust people and underwent quarantine at West End before everyone moved to the farm. He was in a shocking state but as you can see now is quite the magnificent boy. Wild Beanie is absolutely besotted with Masport and follows him around all day. Since moving up to the farm we have had another 10 critically endangered Arapawa goats join us and they are all living their best life free ranging on 12 acres doing what goats do, play, gobble and just be a goat. So dont worry, Masport is fine and well and may from time to time turn up in Westmere as he continues his work as a Therapy Pet and documents his adventures around New Zealand.

This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:

• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients

The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.

Great news! Auckland is now in alert level 2.
The rest of the country has shifted to alert level 1.

Georgia Forrester

There are three community cases, two siblings who are students at Papatoetoe High School, and their household contact.

There was also one new case in MIQ on Wednesday.

Schools in Auckland can reopen. But Papatoetoe High School will remain closed for the rest of the week.

Teachers and students from that school must return a negative test before returning next week.

Covid-19 alert level 3 took effect in Auckland at 11.59pm on Sunday

The Government is making it easier for businesses to get one of its support measures - if current alert levels are extended.

People identified as contacts or who were at the locations of interest are being asked to get tested.

Hi neighbours,

How have you been passing the time during lockdown?

With Auckland back in Level 3, most of us are back working from the kitchen table, juggling work, school and childcare - simultaneously for some.

Last year, Stuff reported on the great array of hobbies New Zealanders picked up during the lockdown, such as home workouts and learning a few new cooking hacks. PC gaming also proved popular with Google search trends for March 2020 showing a 400 per cent search increase for the term.

What are you going to be up to during Level 3? Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in the conversations section of the Central Leader.
