Update on Andrews Farm mountain bike hub
Hi All, Ian Wallace from NCC sent me the following update today:
"I had originally predicted we would have part of the project open for Christmas – this obviously is not going to happen.
The delay is due to a change of gravel supply, Nelmac contractors will now start spreading and compaction of the car park from 15th Jan.
The original source was to be from Groom Creek works in late November – once excavation began it was found to be swamp deposits rather than an excess of alluvial gravels.
So an alternative source was found – the clearance of the river gravel traps by Council.
This material is free so is worth waiting for.
Also with it being so dry I made the call to delay planting of the trees until the cooler months.
The project is still on track to be completed this financial year [30 June]".
All the best for Christmas and the New Year.
Tom

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!
