You may have heard of concerns raised by the Beach Haven community at a large development of 81 apartments proposed to be built across 13 Cresta Ave and 96 Beach Haven Rd, which are currently zoned for one dwelling each. As well as a breach in the number of dwellings, there are also breaches to height rules for all buildings.
Local residents have organised a public meeting this Thursday 19 January from 7pm to 8:30pm at the Beach Haven Residents Hall: fb.me...
The proposal is open for public submissions until Friday 3 February. View and submit here: www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

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!
