Have your say on 10 year plan and local rate proposal

John Gillon from

Please have your say on Council's 10-year plan, including rates levels, infrastructure budgets, council services, impact of COVID-19, climate change, and other issues: akhaveyoursay.nz...

As part of this, the Kaipātiki Local Board is asking whether you would support an additional local rate to fund one or more of the following local projects that otherwise may take many years to achieve:
* Addressing flooding and seawater inundation at Little Shoal Bay,
* Multi-sport facility and improved aquatic play space at Birkenhead War Memorial Park,
* Commuter and recreational walking and cycling links, such as shared paths, bush tracks, and connections to the Northern Pathway.
If there is support for a local rate, then we will go back out to consultation with more details. Submissions close 22 March.

More information in this OurAuckland article: ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

Drop in session with Kaipātiki Local Board members:
10am-1pm Saturday 13 March, Little Shoal Bay Reserve.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

Home made bread problem

Karen from Totara Vale

Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?

I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.

I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.

It can only be the flour?

What do you think?
