Public Meeting - Update on Reeves Rd Flyover

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

From Simeon Brown, MP for Pakuranga:

“I wanted to let you know about an upcoming Public Meeting I will be hosting on Saturday 9 August, to provide the local community with an update on the Reeves Road Flyover.

With major works beginning in the coming months as construction of the Flyover and the next stage of the Eastern Busway to Botany progresses, it is important you be provided with an update on what this entails.

At the meeting, I will be joined by senior members of the Eastern Busway Alliance, the organisation responsible for the project, who will give a presentation on the upcoming works plans and timings, and how it will impact travel in the area.”

Kōnae: Find Your Records

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.

Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.

The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.

Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.

The map can be searched and filtered by
- name
- location
- date range
- religion
- type of organisation.

If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab

Accessing records can bring up a range of emotions, we encourage you to take care of your wellbeing. You can find suggestions of support at konae.org.nz/support
