Free help for flood-affected businesses and neighbours...
We’re thinking of our neighbours and small businesses affected by the flooding across Auckland. While it’s heartbreaking to see our communities struggle through another significant, disruptive event, we’re also seeing our members band together to support each other.
Here’s a few ways Neighbourly can help right now…
IF YOU'RE A SMALL BUSINESS:
- we're giving small businesses affected by the flooding a free 3-month Premium Business Listing. Simply follow this link and follow the steps to set up your profile.
IF YOU'RE NEEDING SUPPORT:
- share a few words on Neighbourly to let your neighbours know how they can help you or someone you know
- get in touch with the Neighbourly team if we can help spread the word about anything you're doing in the community - or if you're involved with a community group that's needing some support
IF YOU CAN HELP YOUR COMMUNITY:
- share a few words on Neighbourly to let your community know how you can support them. Remember no offer is too small - even just offering to be the friendly voice of support on the other end of the phone can help a neighbour feeling overwhelmed or isolated
- consider sharing resources or information you have found helpful at this time on Neighbourly
- check on your neighbours but do not put yourself in danger doing so. If you feel there is any risk consider sending them a message through your Neighbourly inbox

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
