Thank you for your patience while I investigated your concerns.
It is my understanding that you have spoken with Whangarei District Council staff about this issue in the past. Our staff have informed me that Whangarei District Council cannot restrict Heavy Commercial Vehicles from using the Town Basin route. There are No Engine Breaking signs, however they are not enforceable.
I understand this may not be the response you were hoping for, however we will not be enforcing any new restrictions on trucks in the Town Basin area at this time.
Please contact myself or my Executive Assistant, Elsa should you have any further questions –

Read, read, read!
Buy or borrow a few good beekeeping books. Practical Beekeeping in New Zealand is a good book to start with.
When to start?
Now! The best time to start a beehive is in the spring. This is when bees are just starting to get busy.
Consider your equipment
If you want your equipment to last it is worth paying a little more for better quality gear that will not fall apart or break. Our $99 Starter Hive is a great place to start – it’s pre-assembled and ready to go.

Mt Tiger resident Andrew Randall is concerned the laying of poisoned bait in the area could mean local residents, their animals and pig hunters could unwittingly be eating residual toxins. What do you think? Do you think locals should have more notice about poison operations?

Yesterday my wife and I walked the Mt Manaia Track. The last time we walked it was 18 months ago, and it looks like DOC has done some more upgrade work since then, because it didn't feel as rugged and strenuous to us as we remembered it.
There is now a beautiful boardwalk around some impressive Kauri trees, see attached photo.
We think that it truly deserves to be one of New Zealand's Great Short Walks. Well done, DOC.
