Beach Haven Coastal Connection
You may have read some misinformation from some confused Kaipātiki local board candidates on our proposal for a Beach Haven Coastal Connection that will link Tui Park to Shepherds Park, and then on to connect with the Manuka Coastal Walkway and Eskdale Reserve Network. This will not only be an exciting recreational route, but is really important when other tracks are being temporarily closed to protect kauri from dieback disease.
So here are some facts:
* There is not $2 million allocated to this project as they claim. There is $1.5 million tagged to it, and $1.1 million of that can ONLY be spent on new walking/cycling connections because it is the remaining budget from our Kaipātiki Connection Network Plan.
* The alternative projects that they say they would like to spend the budget on are already funded! The exception is the Marae, which is a third-party project that we have supported by funding the planning stage and are now waiting for it to receive resource consent so it can be progressed further.
* Options for the coastal connection project are coming to the 18 September Kaipātiki Local Board meeting for approval to go out for full public consultation where everyone can have their say.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
