Buses return to revamped Rose Street bus terminal

The Team from Whangarei District Council

All aboard! The $1.5M Rose Street Bus Terminal upgrade is now complete and buses return on Monday 25 July. 🚌

New bus shelters have been built beside the additional bus lane, and new road markings have been placed on the fresh seal. A safer, raised “zebra” pedestrian crossing has been built across Bank Street from near Biggie Bagels café to the upgraded terminal.

This upgrade is part of a range of improvements designed to improve on-foot connections and public transport options. Check out some of the other projects here:

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!
