https://nzta.govt.nz/projects/sh1-l-phillips-road-to-puhoi/
Please forward this to your mailing lists so that NZTA receive as many submissions as possible from the Warkworth area who will be most affected by these proposals.

Auckland Council Draft Emergency Budget
Dear Warkworth area Community groups
Auckland Council have released their draft Emergency Budget for the 2020-2021 financial year.
This budget reflects expected COVID-19 revenue loss and the impacts of various levels of rates rise of 2.5% and 3.5%. A zero percent rise is not fully visualised in this material but you may draw your own conclusions.
I won't sugar-coat it. This budget is greatly reduced from that previously consulted upon earlier this year, before the Pandemic hit. It has significant impacts for Rodney, including up to 20% cuts to the local board's discretionary budgets, and cuts to transport projects including road sealing.
Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rates funded projects are safe, the legislation safeguards that the $150 per SUIP collected must be spent in the local board area.
I urge you to read it and have your say.
https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/have-your-say/topics-you-can-have-your-say-on/emergency-budget
Consultation is open from noon today until midnight 19 June.
Regards,
Beth

2019 New dog regulations came into law as of 1st November and these are now consistent throughout Auckland. New restricted summer hours of 10am to 6-30pm will now be enforced each year from the 1st December to 1st March. All current ‘on-leash’ and ‘prohibitive areas’ will still stand. Access rules will be sorted out by Local Boards next year. Ideas will be sought from the community. Matakana Volunteer Fire Brigade - urgent call for volunteers We really need your support to be able to provide the community with staff on the firetruck or first response medical vehicle for emergency call outs. Imagine having no local emergency responders in Matakana, Point Wells, Tawharanui and Omaha because we have no volunteers to crew the trucks.
