Auckland Council is currently running a short consultation on an ‘Emergency Budget’. We respectfully request that you make a submission and specifically state your support for Ponsonby Park. It’s easy to do by following the link and guidelines below. You can of course add any other areas of concern to your submission.
Please take a few minutes to provide feedback.
• To begin, please use the below link:
engage.ubiquity.co.nz...
• All questions are optional, so you may complete Questions 1-3 if you have an opinion, or otherwise:
• Scroll directly down to Question 4: Other feedback – What is important to you?
You can make your own statement about Ponsonby Park, or use the information provided below:
Money spent by Auckland Council is a major part of our local economy, so any projects or services deferred or cut, or amenities closed, equate to more Aucklanders losing their jobs. Austerity is not the answer.
Auckland Council needs to continue with the design and planning for the ‘One Local Initiative’ projects.
Ponsonby Park is the Waitematā Local Board’s ‘One Local Initiative’ project and although likely to be delayed, it must continue to progress through the design & planning stage.
(NB The proposed 3.5% rates rise equates to 47 cents per household a week and also includes a $65 million package to cover rates bill deferrals for those in financial hardship.)
• Then Press Next.
You will need to provide some personal details, but these will not appear on any reporting of feedback. The demographic questions are all optional.
Thank you for supporting Ponsonby Park. By filling in the council consultation submission, you will help keep Ponsonby Park on the council agenda. Please also encourage anyone you know who values Ponsonby Park to do the same. This consultation closes at midnight on June 19th.
For more information, please contact us via the 254ponsonbyrd.org.nz website.
Thank you again,

This week we have enjoyed tasting and learning about innovative estates such as Burn Cottage from Central Otago, Heron’s Flight who make an exceptional Sangiovese in Matakana. Always a pleasure to taste the wines of Hans and Therese Herzog and we savoured the Mistral, a blend of 60% Viognier, 20% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne.
Te Mata’s Cape Crest showcases Hawkes Bay barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc and is interesting to compare with Sancerre from Henri Bourgeois also the owner of Clos Henri. Pegasus Bay’s Finale is New Zealand best example of a Sauternes style with deliciously ripe Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Learning about New Zealand’s wine geography and tasting some special wines along the way is always rewarding.
The wines that were tasted were -
- Hans Herzog Estate, Mistral 2016
- Burn Cottage Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2016
- Te Mata Estate Winery, Caupe Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2017
- Heron's Flight Vineyard - Matakana, Amphora Sangiovese 2016
- Pegasus Bay Winery, Finale 2017
- Henri Bourgeois Sancerre, 2018 (Clos Henri Vineyard)

Stoat footprints were spotted by a ranger on Motutapu Island on May 20, just a few weeks after a stoat was confirmed on the neighbouring Motukorea/Browns Island in mid-March. Do you think DOC will catch it? Are you worried about native flora and fauna in the Hauraki Gulf?

Sourdough is a bread raised by aerobic yeast (yeasts in the atmosphere) that are captured in a mixture of flour and water and fed regularly to keep them alive. There are many different ways to make a sourdough starter — some people insist on using mineral water to feed the starter, others use water from boiled potatoes to get the starter going. It’s very effective to get a cup of someone else’s starter that you can then feed and grow yourself. Other people have sourdough starters that have been handed down through generations, but there’s no need for all that fuss: it’s incredibly easy to make your own.

Hi Neighbours, We would all like to pay less for something - like a rates bill. But you get only what you pay for and the option of a 2.5 per cent rise instead of 3.5, brings risk. What do you think? Read the story below:
