MEGA â February 2026 Edition - First Birthday and look âŚâŚ we are still here!
Plans Missing. Pipes Bursting. Names Changing. Backbone Required.
Februaryâs MEGA issue asks one simple question: whereâs the plan â and whoâs in charge?
In Days Bay, the shared path currently plays hide-and-seek. It starts. It stops. Kerbs change personality mid-block. Drainage experiments with lagoon living. If thereâs a fully resolved design â alignment, parking numbers, cross-sections, timeline â publish it. Weâre not anti-cycleway. Weâre anti-afterthought.
Ferry Road looks like itâs studying the Howard Point collapse manual. Cracks, water and gravity are a familiar trio. Fix it now or rehearse another apology.
At Moa Point, untreated wastewater has redefined âedgy capital city.â Councils are âmonitoring.â The ocean would prefer maintenance.
On the positive side, MEGA supports exploring smart, regulated additional moorings in Days Bay and Lowry Bay. A bay with boats feels alive. Views alone donât create vibrancy.
Nationally, Sky Stadium is now HNRY Stadium â not Henry, HNRY. The Cake Tin remains undefeated. Meanwhile, touring maps increasingly hit Auckland and Christchurch, then fly home. Thatâs not branding failure. Thatâs routing laziness.
The 2026 World Cup will be spectacular football wrapped in visa queues and hotel prices that require refinancing. Rugby coaching appointments may outlast the season itself.
Super City merger talk continues. In mega-structures, small boards tend to âstreamline.â If Eastbourne wants influence, it needs guarantees, not nostalgia.
One clear win: HCERT now has a community-funded reconnaissance drone. Big cities have helicopters. We have propellers.
Februaryâs message is blunt:
Publish the plans.
Fix the pipes.
Stabilise the roads.
Back ambition with delivery.
Or MEGA will keep asking.
