New Bus Depot off Miramar Ave
There is a resource application to put a new bus depot by Burnham Wharf, just past the corner of Miramar Ave, in Shelley Bay Road. (Replacing the Kilbirnie/Lyall Bay depot.)
With reducing the speed on Cobham Drive, putting in a pedestrian crossing, allowing the development of Shelley Bay and now 120 buses + 80+ cars - Cobham Drive/Miramar Ave is going to grind to a halt. Once a new movie gets going that area is going to be diabolical.
They also want to have a diesel storage area. It's right by where they unload the aviation fuel from the ships = talk about a recipe for a big bang.
Anyway the proposal is here

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
