While there is still some rain forecast throughout the day, we’re through the worst of it. River and stream levels are receding but still high and fast-moving, so please stay away from waterways until they return to normal levels.

Block Road and the Riverbank Carpark are OPEN.

Fraser Park remains closed while damage to the grandstand roof is worked on.

There is still some surface flooding and likely debris, so please take care on the roads.

Harbour ferries have been cancelled until the afternoon, with an update expected at 1.30pm. Please check www.metlink.org.nz... for more info.

Power is still out for some in Normandale, Wellington Electricity expects to restore power in the next couple of hours.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
