Update on track development in Kauri Glen Reserve
Disappointing news – the plan for the new track alignment from Kauri Glen Road to Tui Glen Road has been deferred because of contract tendering issues and we cannot expect a start, if at all, until next Summer. While major projects on other reserves, walking and cycle tracks on the North Shore proceed, work in Kauri Glen required to protect significant remnants of Kauri bush and to upgrade a major urban link, has continued to be deferred for various reasons.
In the meantime, it has proved impossible to restrict access along the existing track over kauri roots placing these magnificent trees at ongoing risk of kauri dieback. Remember, the only track not affected by closures is between Kauri Glen Road and Woodside Avenue with links to Lake Road and Gladstone Road that provides a pleasant walk.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
