DIXON ST UPDATE - 7.30PM
We’ve had great work from the team on the ground today.
Through the day we had successful tests of pumping stations, and will be running them overnight to keep wastewater levels under the normal alarm levels, reducing the potential for overflows into the harbour.
Throughout the works road closures will remain in place, with Vivian Street closing tonight from 8pm-8am.
• Willis St remains CLOSED between Vivian St and Manners St
• Ghuznee St remains CLOSED between The Terrace and Victoria St
• The Terrace between Salamanca Rd and Ghuznee St is CLOSED
We will provide further update tomorrow.

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!

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
