What do you think about dogs and cars on Waikanae beach?
Is it time to get dogs and cars off the Waikanae beach and to do more to protect the estuary?
The deteriorating state of the nationally important estuary has been highlighted after a visit by a lost black tern.
DOC community ranger Steve Bielby says wildlife in the estuary was affected by floods late last year but it is humans that are having the biggest negative impact.
"We really need Waikanae community awareness and help to halt declining values, including by walking their dogs and driving their vehicles elsewhere."

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
