We are very sorry for the traffic delays from Wainuiomata to Lower Hut this morning.
We did some chip re-sealing outside of peak hours, which wasn’t successful, so a lane was closed and a 30 km limit introduced. The lane has now been re-opened and we hope traffic is flowing normally soon.

"The weather has been outstanding recently and we love to see everyone enjoying it. Unfortunately, with more people out and about, we have had more frequent notifications about dogs not being kept under control.
In public places – such as beaches and bush tracks – all dogs must be leashed In designated dog exercise areas, if you are responsible for a dog, general consideration towards others – whether human or animal – must be taken. This could be done in many different ways depending on the behaviour and training of your dog e.g. a dog can be controlled by a leash, whistle, voice command or hand signal. The Dog Control Act 1996 – section 5 states under obligations of dog owners: every owner of a dog is required - (b) to ensure that the dog is kept under control, at all times (f) to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the dog does not injure, endanger, intimidate, or otherwise cause distress to any person."

Once widespread throughout New Zealand, pāteke are our rarest native waterfowl.
Thomas spotted the bird in a Lower Hutt park on Valentine's Day.
According to DOC there are between 2000 and 2500 pāteke with the main populations on Great Barrier Island (700), Northland (600), and Coromandel (400).
The rest of the population is on offshore Islands, including Kāpiti and Mana, and sanctuaries like Zealandia.
They are considered at risk of extinction because they only survive in areas that are actively trapped.
