Kaipātiki Local Park Management Plan adopted
The Kaipātiki Local Board is very pleased to announce that the Kaipātiki Local Park Management Plan has been adopted!
Six years in the making and over 480 pages long, this is a reserve management plan that covers all parks across the Kaipātiki Local Board area.
The plan provides policies that apply to all of our reserves, as well as individual maps and management intentions for every reserve.
Thankyou to everyone who submitted on the draft plan and presented to the hearing panel. The document will be available online soon.
Some of the changes introduced in this plan:
* All of our parks are now held as reserves under the Reserves Act 1977, and have been correctly classified as to their current purpose.
* Little Shoal Bay Reserve: Boat maintenance and haulage yard activities have been discontinued.
* Le Roys Bush Reserve: The bush area to the east of the carpark has been moved from Little Shoal Bay Reserve to Le Roys Bush Reserve, meaning that all of the bush is now part of Le Roys. This simplifies the boundary and makes policies, dog rules, etc, consistent.
* The Eskdale network of parks, and the Witheford network of parks will each become single reserves. We will consult on English and Te Reo names for each of them in due course.
* Søren G Christensen Reserve: A Beach Haven park that was supposed to be named after early settler Søren Christensen in 1997, has now been fulfilled (www.nzherald.co.nz...).
* All land parcels have been examined and legal boundaries have been corrected.
* Some reserve names have been simplified (eg, removed "place", "street", etc).

Help Needed: Peat, Straw, and Moisture Control for Tiger Worms in Castor Bay
Hello, neighbors! I’m in Castor Bay and currently caring for my tiger worms. I’ve encountered some moisture issues and am looking for materials like peat, straw, or anything that can help with moisture absorption. I’d also appreciate any advice on preventing clogging in the drainage pipe to ensure proper drainage. If anyone has extra peat, straw, or can share some helpful tips, I’d be really grateful! Thank you so much for your support, especially during the holiday season
Best wishes,
Diana
