High Vaccination Uptake

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Well done to Kaipātiki on the high COVID-19 vaccination uptake!
The latest data (as of Tuesday 5 October) shows that for the Kaipātiki Local Board area (west of the motorway and south of Sunset Rd), 89% of people over 12 years old have received their first dose and 53% have received the second. I expect the second dose figure to go up over the coming weeks to match the first dose figure, so we're well on-track to 90% coverage.
The rates are a little lower for our local Māori and Pacific Island communities, but still very high at 72% and 79% respectively.

Meanwhile, the wider North Shore is tracking well with 90% first dose for the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area; 86% for the Hibiscus And Bays Local Board area; and 89% for the Upper Harbour Local Board area.

Kauri Glen Reserve treetop bridge and boardwalk now open!

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

NEWSFLASH: The wait is over and the Kauri Glen Reserve treetop bridge and boardwalk is NOW OPEN to the public! Check it out!

And please join us for our official opening/celebration in a couple of weeks!
➡️ When: 12pm Sunday 28 April
➡️ Where: Kauri Glen Road entrance to Kauri Glen Reserve
➡️ Facebook event: www.facebook.com...
Free BBQ! Walk the new track!

This is a new step-free route between Kauri Glen Road and Tui Glen Road, with a refurbished track (including steps) to Raymond Terrace. The new bridge is around 6 storeys high with a very impressive view of the forest tree tops.
The new tracks, bridge and boardwalk have been built to a standard to help prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease, which is especially important in this park.
*** Please always clean your shoes, bikes, prams and wheelchairs at the stations. ***

Note: We made the decision to allow public access earlier than expected to prevent further damage to the forest by those who were throwing the fences into the trees 🙁
