Road Closures on Ti Rakau

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

‼️ Latest update from Eastern Busway. ‼️
“Kia ora,
We’d like to let you know about upcoming work as part of the Eastern Busway project so that you’re informed ahead of time.
Changes will be in place on Tī Rākau Drive in both directions between Pakūranga Road and William Roberts Road from Friday 24 October to Saturday 27 December. Please see the attached map.

Important information
There will be one lane open in each direction on Ti Rākau Drive and the right turn from Tī Rākau Drive to the South Eastern Highway will be closed.
Motorists will be able to access the South Eastern Highway using Rā Hihi – flyover.
Please allow extra travel time during peak hours while everyone adjusts to the reduced lane layout.
A section of footpath will be closed between the South Eastern Highway and Tiraumea Drive, along with the pedestrian crossings at that location. Signs will guide people to the nearest pedestrian crossing by Mattson Road to cross Tī Rākau Drive. Your safety is our priority, please only use pedestrian crossings.

When it’s completed, the Eastern Busway will provide transport options for people to get to more places, more frequently. Thank you for your patience while the busway is built.
Further information about the Eastern Busway project is at easternbusway.nz.... You’re also welcome to contact our Customer and Community team on info@easternbusway.nz or call 0800 287 929.
Kind regards
Eastern Busway Team “

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
