Both glasshouses will have steel ties installed internally with new laminated glass and stronger code compliant aluminium glazing bars placed on the roofs.
Expected to take 18 months, the work will boost post tension strengthening work of the Tropical House chimney stack in 2003.
Auckland Domain Committee chair and Auckland councillor Desley Simpson said only one glasshouse would be worked on at a time so Aucklanders could still take in the beauty of the exotic plants.
“It is great to be able to not just allow Aucklanders to enjoy the Wintergardens as they were first intended, but also to make improvements, so that they will cope better with the challenges of seismic and climate change risks.
"It is about being faithful to the heritage of the buildings and finding sympathetic solutions to deal with these risks.”
The renovations will see the timber joinery repaired and repainted.
They include installing larger gutters and additional rainwater pipes as well as changing the roofs' opaque glass to the original design of clear glass.

Gold Dust
I held for a moment in time
A sprinkle of gold dust in my hand
Pure in form and heart
A little piece of me, soon to journey this land

I held for a moment in time
A sprinkle of gold dust in my hand
Pure in form and heart
A little piece of me, soon to journey this land
Time has passed quickly
Her gold dust has started to spread
And lately, not that long ago
She started plans to leave the nest
I held for a moment in time
A sprinkle of gold dust in my hand
And now as I blow it gently off
I give credit to my parents, because now I understand.
To all the parents who have had a young man or woman leave home to start their Uni journey xx

The cases – a mother, father and daughter – were confirmed on Sunday and, along with another household contact, are being moved to the Jet Park quarantine facility.
The source of the infection is under investigation, but could be linked to the border as the mother works at LSG Sky Chefs laundry and catering company, which provides services for airlines.
Health officials are anticipating “high demand” at Covid-19 testing sites and warned delays were possible: “our request is to please be patient”.
As a result of the latest infections, a testing centre will be set up at Papatoetoe School for students, staff and parents to attend.

Auckland Council is forecast to take a 1 billion dollar revenue hit because of COVID-19.
This 10-year budget aims to find a balance between investing in our city and not overburdening our residents.
It will provide for our city’s future while keeping our rates increases low compared to other growth cities in New Zealand, will help Auckland’s economy recover, support our communities, build water and housing infrastructure and improve our transport network.
We need your feedback on these issues and how we pay for them.

I am a Professional Accountant / Businessman who is looking at learning the new future in investing, Bitcoin, Etherium and Alt Coins.
I am new to this type of investing and would like to team up with someone who is also interested in this type of investing and learning together. Two great minds is much better than one.
We could explore and exchange ideas, determine what coins to trade and when. The market is extremely hot right now and there is lots of upside in this type of investing.
If you already have lots of experience and knowledge in this area, you are also interested joining forces and you would benefit in having a partner, I would definitely like to see if we could work together on this, make our investments significantly grow and who knows about the future.
We could even possibly build this into a full time thing, or maybe even a business. I have heard many interesting success stories on this and it is definitely working for some people. Eg, earning 2.5 months salary in just one week.
I am looking for someone who is serious, professional who also would like to invest in cryptocurrencies with me and has enough time now during the week days (a few hours per day or longer) to work together on this exciting project. To be very clear, I am not looking for any of your money or anyone else’s money. I only want to find someone who has a similar interest in this and wanting to learn and support each other.
If you are interested in my Crypto idea above and you would like to meet up for a coffee and discuss this further, please contact me now by first telling me a bit about yourself, your experience with Crypto and interest.
Please contact Harry on:

Let’s begin our Crypto journey together and have some fun!
