Important info on the Team NZ Welcome Home parade
The Team NZ Welcome Home is taking place on Auckland's waterfront this week. Here's some key information to ensure you make the most of this special event!
The parade is confirmed to take place on Thursday 6 July starting at 12.30pm and making its way down Queen Street towards the waterfront. Please see the attached map for the parade route and recommended viewing points. Team NZ will then take to the water from the Viaduct Basin for a sail past (wahoo!), giving viewers a unique vantage point from which to welcome the team home.
The central city is expected to be very busy on the day of the parade with road closures and bus diversions. People attending the parade are advised to use public transport, to cycle or walk, as parking will be very limited. Get information on transport here.
Can't leave the sofa/office? The Welcome Home Parade will be broadcast free to air on TVNZ 1 and TV3. It will also be streamed on Newshub and 1newsnow.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
