Council is planning to do the job that nature has been prevented from doing by taking the sand from the orange areas (see image) and placing it back in the yellow areas. The fix should last 10 to 15 years depending on how many major storms happen in that time.

The fix should last 10 to 15 years depending on how many major storms happen in that time.
Over time sand has settled in the orange areas because two bridges have reduced the flow of the stream that used to flush the sand back into the bay to settle along the shoreline.

Hi neighbours,
Have you had a near miss with a jet ski? Surfers in the Far North have a simple message for jet ski drivers: 'No skis if people are paddling it'. Locals have said it's simply too dangerous.

There has been a spate of tyre slashing over the weekend. This type of senseless, thoughtless behaviour needs to be stamped out before it takes hold.
I would really like to hear from some one who had their tyre/s slashed so I can get a story up. It about awareness and letting people know how inconvenient, and costly this is to the victim. Image a young mum trying to get her kids to sport or an elderly person trying to get their shopping. Not everyone can change a tyre or afford a replacement and with the weather as changeable as it is who want to try doing in the rain?
Give me a call on 09 470 4054.
