SH1 Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway - Project Update
Waka Kotahi NZTA have provided a summary of engagement about the recent consultation regarding the two route options and the feedback received.
Once the emerging preferred corridor has been identified, and after they have met with potentially affected landowners, they will publish the emerging preferred corridor on their website. The next round of engagement will get underway in early-2021 and will be focussed more on highway design elements including intersections, access and walking and cycling. As well as their ongoing online engagement, Waka Kotahi NZTA are also planning to host community events in February 2021.
A timeline of the project is attached below.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
