Auckland Emergency Services are asking people to stay away from West Coast beach communities which are trying to recover from last week’s storm.

What you need to know:
- The affected beaches are Piha, Karekare, Bethells, Muriwai, Huia and Little Huia
- The beaches have been closed to non-residents only
- The closures are for safety and to ensure road repairs can take place

“While there is road access into Piha, it’s limited and we’re asking people not to go to Piha to go surfing or picnicking, I know we may have a fine weekend coming up but to stay away out of respect for those communities,” Duty controller Mace Ward says.

Calling all biodiversity and conservation enthusiasts in Tāmaki Makaurau! We’re hosting our first BioBlitz at our Ōtehā campus on Saturday 4 March.

The goal of a BioBlitz is to identify and record as many species of plants and animals as possible within an assigned timeframe. The event will provide an exciting opportunity for the community to come together and learn more about the biodiversity of the significant ecological bush area that backs onto our Auckland campus.

The event runs from 8am to 10pm, with the meeting point at the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre. The day will include guided walks through the bush, including a night walk in the evening, talks by science experts around collecting and interpreting the results of the environmental DNA (eDNA) captured and food trucks, along with face painting and bouncy castles on campus for the tamariki.

No Power, No Communication from Vector

David from Silverdale

This is our fifth day without power, which we lost early Sunday morning. We have registered the outage with Vector and the status is “investigating”. It’s been this way for four days. This is the situation for us and two of our neighbors. Every other house on our road has power.

This is our fifth day without power, which we lost early Sunday morning. We have registered the outage with Vector and the status is “investigating”. It’s been this way for four days. This is the situation for us and two of our neighbors. Every other house on our road has power.

While I appreciate that our case is a small one given the terrible situations many others are in, still it’s more than a little inconvenient to not have running water and having lost the food in the freezer after keeping it shut for four days., not to mention no WiFi, phone, etc.

Even after five days, there is no meaningful communication from Vector (one status update in four days). They haven’t reported what the problem is and they cannot tell us when the power will be back on, not even an estimate. It’s almost as if we do not exist for them.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get through to them?
