Auckland Council has revealed the final design of its Queen Street makeover.

Three projects to upgrade the city centre street have been rolled into one and will be completed over the next 12 months.

A key change is wider footpaths, that will be shared by people on feet and wheels.

The path closest to shops is for slower moving pedestrians, while the side closest to the street is for bikes, scooters and people moving quickly on foot.

Changes in paving texture, planting, street furniture will separate the two paths.

General parking on Queen Street will be removed, but space has been designated for loading zones along the street.

Between Wellesley and Wakefield Streets there will be two lanes in each direction reserved for buses, motorcycles, delivery and emergency vehicles, cyclists and scooters. Private vehicles will not be allowed here.

What do you think of the planned makeover of Queen Street?

The impact a healthy & attractive smile can have on one’s self-esteem and confidence is invaluable. Orthodontic treatments can improve teeth that are crooked, misaligned, or crowded - leaving you with not only a beautiful smile but also a massive boost in confidence.

Braces aren’t just for cosmetic purposes, they can correct the alignment of your teeth and improve the functionality of your jaw. With misaligned teeth, you may come across difficulties in eating, talking, and oral health upkeep (which puts you at risk of quite serious dental issues). Braces will gently move your teeth (and roots) to their optimal position, it does take many months - however, once treatment is complete the beautiful results are lifelong.

Do you enjoy solitude and reflection?
Do people tell you you’re a "good listener"?
Do you find small talk draining?
But enjoy deep meaningful conversations with close friends?
If so, you may be an introvert!

1 out of every 2 people is introverted so chances are, you are one or you're the partner/parent/sibling/friend/coworker of one (so this is relevant to you too!)

WHAT's in this workshop:
1. Intro to the psychological concepts of introversion and extroversion
2. Unpacking the extrovert ideal (and how this impacts introverts)
3. Empowering and practical tips on how to thrive as an introvert
4. Food for thought: little introverts and the education system

WHY attend this workshop?
We live in a society that is biased towards extroverted needs. As a result, introverts often find themselves feeling overtaxed, overwhelmed, or critical of their capabilities. This workshop is all about shedding light on the differences between extrovert and introvert personalities; giving you the info and tips to tailor your self-care and social interactions to suit your personality, and learn how to thrive as an introvert!

An artwork created during lockdown, featuring a miniaturised snapshot of the 1pm conferences Kiwis have become so familiar with, is selling online.

Mt Albert artist Jesse James created “The Bubble” to support those in need and will donate all the proceeds of the auction to the mental health charity I AM HOPE.

“We’re all living in our own little bubbles, so I feel like having these little characters inside a bottle symbolises this,” he said.

“With us being in lockdown, people’s mental health just gets way worse, and they feel like they don’t have anyone to reach out to.”

The piece is currently displayed at the Turua Gallery in St Heliers. It features Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Ashley Bloomfield delivering the 1pm press conference, encapsulated in a glass bottle.

The auction closes on September 26.
