At Alert Level 3, Auckland Council customer-facing facilities like leisure centres, community venues, customer service centres and libraries remain closed.
Here’s what’s new at Alert Level 3 (Step 1):
- Public toilets – we will be opening additional public toilets in places where people are most likely to gather, over the coming days. A full list of public toilets open at Alert Level 3 (Step 1) can be found on OurAuckland and will be updated daily.
- Regional parks – regional parks will be open during regular seasonal hours.
- Alcohol bans – there are liquor bans in place at some of our beaches and parks. You can find details of where and when the bans apply on our website. These bans still apply under Step 1 and Police will continue to enforce them. Check before you pack your picnic please.
- Picnic tables – picnic tables in our parks and open spaces are available for use, with physical distancing in place.
- Dog walking – consider walking your dog on a leash so you can keep a safe distance from others. We encourage dog owners to check the rules before you set out as some parks don’t permit dogs and others have strict on-leash rules.
- Playgrounds, pump tracks and skate parks – playgrounds, pump and bike tracks, and skate parks will reopen. We will start to remove tape and fencing, and reinstall basketball hoops in the coming days.
- Boating – boat ramps will re-open and boating is permitted with restrictions. If your boat has an enclosed space, only 1 household or bubble can go boating. If it does not have an enclosed space, 2 households or a maximum of 10 people can participate.
- QR codes – QR codes are already in place at our public toilets. Over the coming days we will be putting QR codes on our play spaces. Please continue to input manual entries on the NZ COVID Tracer app while we get these in place.
- Outdoor showers – showers will be turned back on.
- Drinking fountains – drinking fountains will remain switched off.
- Cemeteries – gates at our three main cemeteries, Waikumete, North Shore Memorial Park and Manukau Memorial Gardens, will remain closed so we can continue to manage the number of attendees as per the government guidelines.
Kind regards,
Beth Houlbrooke (RLB)

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. |
