Major Roadworks – Beach Road & Bute Road, Browns Bay 🚧

Victoria from Torbay - Long Bay

It was nearly 8 years ago when I was working in Murray McCullys office that I was first contacted by a group of residents at Aria Bay, concerned about the dangers some of their senior residents experienced crossing Beach Road near the roundabout. Some had fallen and suffered painful injuries, others stood for long periods of time hoping pedestrians would help them, and my heart melted when I heard some residents had withdrawn from the Browns Bay community and their social networks for fear of crossing busy Beach Road.

Fast forward to today, and I so pleased to share that AT will be commencing work on the Bute Road roundabout to provide significant safety improvements for these residents and fellow pedestrians.

It is likely that these works will create some quite significant disruptions for commuters over the coming weeks, so if you can, you may want to try an alternative route. AT sometimes have a mind of their own when it comes to projects, but this one, I know, will add tremendous value to a number of people’s lives.

I’m sorry for the chaos this might create while the works are undertaken, but the gain this will add to some of our residents’ lives is unquestionable.

Works start 28th March 2022 and is expected to be completed by the end of July 2022.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
