Construction on the highly anticipated highway is expected to begin this year, for completion by 2026.
If Waka Kotahi proceed with tolling the road, there could be different toll prices for peak and off-peak hours. The prices could vary between $1 to $4, with heavy freight paying more than light vehicles.
Three toll points on the road are being considered, meaning motorists will only have to pay for the parts they use. Those who don’t wish to pay the toll may still access free alternative routes.
Waka Kotahi national manager of infrastructure delivery Mark Kinvig said the toll would go towards maintaining the road to keep it “safe and resilient”.
“Variable tolling helps people make choices about when they travel, and therefore the toll price they pay. It will also reduce travel times on Penlink during peak hours,” Kinvig said.

Hi Neighbours,
Can anyone recommend a good tutor for my daughter commencing her NCEA level 2 Maths (Calculus). She wants a female tutor though. We live in Red Beach so hopefully someone on the Hibiscus Coast. Happy to go to the tutors place (if on Hibiscus Coast) or at our home.
Cheers

This gives us so much more scope as we adjust to the growth of HC!
The in-person get-togethers/presentations will now take place on the 1st Sunday evening of each month, and in-between we will have a zoom presentation on a day/time that suits the presenter.
This gives us the best of both worlds - meeting and hearing from the many locals who come along in person to share their knowledge with us, in addition to having the ability to hear from other people from further afield within NZ or around the world!
It also gives the breathing space for all the other meetings, gatherings and get-togethers that now happen in and around Harmony Circle. Perfect!
If you know of anyone who you'd like to see as a presenter, in-person or on zoom, let me know. And/or if you’d like to receive updates via the HC newsletter;

Blossom a black and white long hair female cat, really needs a loving human to care for her, and love in return. She was abandoned in the Red Beach area, and was trying to survive as best she could,by coming in through our cat door and eating my foster cats food.
I started feeding her, she was very thin, and she is filling out nicely, and is losing her fear of people.
In fact she sleeps on my bed now,and loves to be stroked,petted,and get as close to me as possible! she’s still nervous when I stand up though.
I don’t know her age, but she is a young cat.
My foster cat is long term, she is extremely nervous, and isn’t happy having another cat around,so I need to find a home ASAP for Blossom.

A light brush with the nettle on your leg or arm, can leave you with a tingling sensation that persists for 24 hours.
Ongaonga has been linked to unexplained deaths of people walking through a dense patch and being overcome. With this mind, I decided to have a go cutting back a particularly annoying patch on our main track to the paddock we call, Waterses.
The Ongaonga bushes were above and below the track so I had to form a strategy so that I would safe. I found a large set of old tree branch loppers (giant secateurs) in the shed and then opted to take a piece of cloth, that used to cover our cool display cabinet in my old café.
This easy DIY project finished in Resene Waterborne Woodsman Pickled Bluewood provides a roosting and resting site for a rare and threatened native bat.
Find out how to create your own.
