Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the date on Monday, saying Covid-19 was not going to be eradicated from New Zealand.
“The hard truth is that Delta is here and not going away,” Ardern said.
While Aucklanders will finally see an end to New Zealand’s longest lockdown, those in other parts of the country could face far more restrictions if they have not been fully-vaccinated.

🥇 The featured quote (in gold of course!) is from Napoleon Hill. Seeds. A tiny thing that may seem to have little potential can grow into the most magnificent contributor to life. Seeds germinate & grow into their potential without being thrown off by the human condition.
💎 Humans get to choose for themselves - will I learn & grow or will I allow this adversity to defeat my unborn potential, & therefore control my destiny.
🤰 What a privilege then it is to express life as a human being. To have the power of choice. A seed ends up somewhere & germinates or not. Humans can upon adulthood choose their environment. Humans are endowed with the ability to co-create with a higher power. How lucky are we?
🌞 With this awareness one awakes each morning excited, inspired, awed, motivated, grateful, bursting to create powerfully & uniquely therefore adding priceless value to the world and all in it.

"Coverage included the 2009 Undie 500 riots, where bottles were thrown at firefighters, drunks surfed fire appliances, and there were many failed attempts to jump over burning couches.
But in recent years those stories have gone, ahem, dry."

Now all that remains of the former Seacliff Lunatic Asylum, about 30km north of Dunedin, are some stone remnants and a few smaller buildings in private ownership.
The Robert Lawson-designed building was the largest commissioned in the country when it opened in 1884, but was plagued by issues, including landslips, before the fatal fire on December 8, 1942.
A resulting inquiry determined the asylum, which later housed noted author Janet Frame, was well past its use by date, but it would remain open until 1973.
Part of that site now forms the Truby King Reserve, a recreation area of about 16 hectares.
The Dunedin City Council, which was given power over the land from the Department of Conservation in 1991, will discuss a management plan for the reserve on Tuesday.
An extensive report on the reserve noted the importance of the asylum’s history, which represented “the evolution of mental health care in New Zealand”.
Changing norms and methods of treatment coupled with the instability of the land under the institution led to its eventual closure, the report notes.
The site was named after Plunket pioneer Sir Frederic Truby King, with his recommendations including patients growing their own food grown in the substantial gardens.
The reserve’s “enchanted forest” has hundreds of specimen trees planted by King, a botany enthusiast.
The report noted many of the trees were unsafe, and an audit was required.
The reserve, which has stone remnants of the former asylum, also includes an historic cricket ground, tennis court and community orchard.
The council was advised to approve the new management plan, which will include a new car park, picnic and barbecue area, and new signage tracing the footprint of the historic building.
