This year marks 15 years since the birth of Auckland’s Super City. The controversial idea to merge eight regional and district councils into one SUPER council was kickstarted after a Royal Commission on Auckland Governance back in 2007. The city now stretches from Wellsford down to Bombay, and from Muriwai to Orere Point. More than a decade later, discussions are still being had about whether it was a good move for New Zealand's largest and most populated city. Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior writer, Simon Wilson, joins us to discuss what needs to be done to make sure Auckland’s still thriving for the next 15.

Almost a year on from the Auckland anniversary floods and cyclone Gabrielle, residents in Auckland's Muriwai are still picking up the pieces from their ruined homes and trying to move on. The area of Auckland's West Coast was severely damaged with landslips cutting off communities, destroying homes and killing two volunteer firefighters. For some residents, their hopes of remaining in the community have been shattered. Louise Ternouth explains.

The deadline is looming for Auckland Council's buyout of properties damaged in the 2023 Anniversary weekend floods, but so far only half of those affected have signed up.

A coastal west Auckland community wants rules for driving on beaches tightened, after recent events. Auckland Council says the bylaws aren't fit for purpose. People who want to drive at Muriwai beach require a permit - but data indicated less than a quarter of drivers had obtained one. Muriwai Community Association co-chair, Clare Bradley, is unsure if  changing the bylaws would fix the wider issue. "We wouldn't contemplate having a shared pedestrian space where vehicles can be going 60-plus miles an hour on an unstable surface where there are people having picnics and trying to go for a swim."

A resident of a storm-stricken Auckland beach says the community is on the up, a year after being hit by a deadly cyclone. Auckland's west coast was severely damaged during Cyclone Gabrielle last year, with landslips cutting off communities and levelling houses. In Muriwai, two volunteer firefighters were killed when a slip hit the flooded home they were in. Finn Blackwell has more.

Whilst what happened recently with the young person dying after being involved in an accident while driving on Muriwai beach was tragic, I hope it does not trigger a knee-jerk reaction. The vast majority of Kiwis drive on our beaches in a responsible manner. Here's my suggestion on how we can continue to do this..See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A scene from Mad Max is how one surfer has described the chaos on Muriwai Beach, when vehicles are hooning around. The death of a young person has sparked calls for vehicles to be permanently banned from the beach on Auckland's west coast. Cars can go up to 60 kays an hour on parts of Muriwai beach, which is packed with people on a hot summers day. Our reporter Jordan Dunn and cameraman Nick Monro have the story, followed by Auckland Council's regional parks principal specialist Stephen Bell.

A Muriwai resident says nobody is policing drivers hooning on the beach - and the only way to ensure safety is to close it entirely to vehicles. Over the weekend, a person died when a vehicle rolled on Muriwai Beach and another was injured in quad bike crash on Himatangi Beach, in Manawatu. Rayssa Almeida has the story.

Belief vehicles need to be totally banned on Auckland's Muriwai Beach. A teen died yesterday after a ute rolled on the beach, and two others have serious injuries. Vehicles are now banned at the beach until Thursday - with people allowed on foot. Muriwai Community Association co-chair, Clare Bradley, says how vehicle access is currently managed isn't working. "There is a growing sense that the only way to really manage the safety of the beach, both for pedestrians and for the wildlife that make that part of the beach their home, is to close it."

Tonight on The Huddle, Trish Sherson from Sherson Willis PR and Ali Jones from Red PR joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more! Muriwai community advocates and locals are calling for cars to be banned from the beach after a teenager was killed over the weekend. Is this the best course of action? The Government is under pressure over Māori issues following last weekend's hui. National also says it won't support ACT's Treaty Principles Bill past the first reading- what do we think?

A Muriwai community leader wants the government to ban vehicles from beaches, fearing more children could be killed if they aren't. One person died and another two were injured after a vehicle rolled on Muriwai Beach on Sunday. Investigations into the cause continue. The Rodney local board chair says some people driving on the beach don't understand the risks. Rodney local board chair Brent Bailey spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Some locals want a permanent vehicle ban on Auckland's Muriwai beach. A teenage girl died yesterday after being thrown from a ute that rolled on top of her - two others have serious injuries. A fisherman described a vehicle hooning and doing burnouts. Rodney Local Board chair Brent Bailey told Tim Dower vehicles were banned from the beach during the holiday break - but allowed back from January the 15th. He personally believes it's reached a point where they can't afford to have vehicles on the beach with all the fishers, bathers, dog walkers and horses.   LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The track follows the band's previous single “Caught In The Undertow”, the video for which was also a feat of extreme conditions. Filmed at Muriwai beach in Auckland, New Zealand and at a helicopter crash testing facility in a 3.6M deep pool, the whole band performed much of the song underwater, highlighting their dedication to creating unforgettable visual accompaniments for their hard-hitting rock anthems.Blending raw punk aggression with arena-ready hooks, “The Way Down” provides the perfect soundtrack as Black Smoke Trigger literally dives into the unknown. The latest single cements this ambitious quartet as heavy music's most daring new force.With elite musicianship honed from years of tireless work, Black Smoke Trigger show no signs of compromise in their pursuit of creating pure exhilarating rock chaos.

A Muriwai resident with a Category three home has been told buy-out talks could start as early as next week. But she is still waiting to hear how Auckland Council intends to value the affected properties. Caroline Bell-Booth says she's impatient to hear, so she can start moving on with her life. Bell-Booth spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Landslides are our country's deadliest and most costly natural hazard. Landslides triggered by the cyclone ultimately killed two volunteer firefighters Muriwai, condemned hundreds of homes, and left thousands of scars on the landscape. Months of painstaking work has since revealed the scale of the cyclone's devastation, with scientists mapping more than 140,000 slips. According to researchers at University Canterbury landslides have caused more deaths in New Zealand than any other natural hazard and lead to $300 million in insurance claims each year. Dr Timothy Stahl, School of Earth and Environment Senior Lecturer at University Canterbury, says climate change and natural hazards interact in a way that exacerbates the risk of damage to lives and property. He leads one of 10 university research teams awarded a combined $4.5 million in funding to better understand this relationship.

Auckland Council has unanimously voted to buy out about 700 flood-damaged properties, as part of a $2 billion cost-sharing storm package alongside Government. Category 3 homes, deemed uninhabitable and unfixable from the Auckland floods and Cyclone Gabrielle will be purchased at 95 per cent of market valuation. The largest cluster of affected homes is in the West Auckland suburbs of Ranui, Swanson and Henderson and coastal communities of Piha, Karekare and Muriwai. West Auckland Muriwai resident Caroline Bell-Booth's home is still standing, but she hasn't been able to return. She says Friday's announcement is a glimmer of hope, but also tells Kathryn there are still many unanswered questions. Another Muriwai resident, Laura Preston says her home is stuck between categories 2 and 3, and more assessment is needed on whether it can be affordably fixed.

After six months of waiting, dozens of Muriwai residents have been given the news no-one wanted. Your property might be bought out, but it might not. Residents will tonight be able to vent their frustrations at a public meeting with council officials, after 42 of the 69 "high risk" Muriwai properties were left in limbo. Category 3 means the property will be bought out, Category 2 means it can be saved with safety improvements. The majority are in 2 slash 3 which means, well, who knows. Reporter Tom Taylor and camera operator Nick Monro have more.

Muriwai home owners still have no idea how the value of their flood damaged properties will be calculated for the joint government/council buy-out scheme 24 Muriwai properties were yesterday deemed too dangerous to live in and will likely be bought out by the council and government. The owners of these category three properties are now waiting to hear how much they'll be offered for their wrecked homes. Auckland councillor Maurice Williamson chairs the Revenue, Expenditure and Finance Committee that is overseeing the buyout process. He spoke to Lisa Owen [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6335831220112

Muriwai residents are absorbing yesterday's categorisation of their storm-damaged properties. 27 home owners have been told they do qualify for the buy-out scheme, but decisions have not been made about 41 others.Kathryn speaks with homeowner Kat Corbett, whose home is Category 3, and subject to the buy out.

Many homeowners in the West Auckland suburb of Muriwai are still in the dark about what will happen to the storm-damaged properties. 24 homes have been classified as category three - qualifying for the buy-out scheme. But 41 need further investigation to determine whether engineering work could render them liveable. Residents in both categories are asking how much longer it'll take to before they can move on. Auckland council's Marc Ward spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The only substantial document firefighters had about landslide risks prior to the fatal Muriwai slip in February, was a 10-year-old manual from Sweden. The document was in English, but it said little about the hazards firefighters would face. Two volunteer firefighters died in a landslide during Cyclone Gabrielle, in Muriwai in February. Phil Pennington spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Aucklanders whose homes are uninhabitable due to the summer storms say they're relieved with the rates relief agreed by Auckland Council yesterday. Hundreds of homes have been red and yellow-stickered, with residents paying rent and also meeting the bills on homes they can't live in. In the beach settlement of Muriwai, about 140 homes are affected - owners met last night to discuss the rates relief. Chair of the Muriwai Stickered Residents Group Mike Hibbert spoke to Charlotte Cook.

Muriwai resident Caroline Bellbooth has been in temporary accomodation since her home was red stickered following this year's extreme weather events. There's a slip at the back of her property , which she says has come down from council land. Caroline was at today's anouncement and spoke to Lisa Owen.

Relief for a handful of property owners in the cyclone-stricken west Auckland community of Muriwai. Today, five months on from Cyclone Gabrielle, council officers changed the stickers on 11 houses deeming some of them safe to live in once again. Duncan Leach was one of the first residents to hear the good news today, and invited reporter Tom Taylor along as he moved back in to his home

'Fire and Emergency is letting its people down'. That's the assessment from the firefighters' union following a report showing Fire and Emergency has failed to train its firefighters on identifying landslide risks. The report follows the death of two volunteer firefighters who died while trying to save people and homes as Cyclone Gabrielle tore through Muriwai. Emma Stanford reports.

Some Muriwai locals are still living in the local campground four and a half months after Cyclone Gabrielle tore through their homes. The popular west Auckland surf beach reopened to the public 12 days ago. And while some locals appreciate the burst of fresh energy that visitors have brought to town, the tragedy of Cyclone Gabrielle remains fresh in their minds, with some finding it impossible to move on. Our reporter Tom Taylor and cameraman Nick Monro have the story. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6330213073112

Tai Rawhiti residents are on edge as a state of emergency is in place again after being battered by heavy rain, with more expected tonight and over the weekend. A severe red weather warning the highest possible level is in place until Sunday. The inland community of Te Karaka has been hardest hit, where the Waipaoa river has burst its banks, and huge slips have been reported. Major roads across the region are closed, farms are sodden and slip prone, and some schools are closed. The advice across Tai Rawhiti is stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary. Kathryn hears from Toby Williams, Federated Farmers Meat and Wool Chairperson who farms at Whangara, between Tolaga Bay and Gisborne, Sandra Faulkner who has a farm in Muriwai, south of Gisborne and is also a Federated Farmers board member, Greg Shelton, Tolaga Bay Civil Defence Manager and Jaclyn Hankin, Waka Kotahi NZTA's regional manager of maintenance and operations for the Central North Island.

Muriwai residents are airing their concerns to the Minister for Auckland, Michael Wood, tonight. The minister has travelled to the area hit hard by Cyclone Gabrielle, where many people still aren't able to live in their homes. Our reporter Tom Taylor is there.

Not a single buy out offer has been made and there's no date to give flood damaged home owners in Auckland certainty. Auckland Council started contacting home owners in the city today, but instead of providing them with a category number that will determine their homes long term future, the council is seeking more information from residents, including asking them what they think should happen with their homes. That's despite senior government ministers warning the council to give people certainty ASAP. The government's joint voluntary buy out scheme will means property owners get one of three classifications; Category 3 means its unsafe to rebuild and owners will be offered a buy out. Category 2 homes may need further council flood and resiliance measures. Muriwai resident Maria Koppens was among the first recipients of an email from council with an 'update' on the risk assessment process. But she says the email didn't provide any new information, or any hope of the process being sped up.

It's one of the jewels in Auckland's crown, but for the past four months only locals have been able to visit the black sand surf Mecca of Muriwai. From Friday, that's finally going to change. Auckland Council announced this afternoon that the cordon on the corner of Waitea and Oaia roads will be lifted at 6am Friday. Cordons will remain in place on Domain Crescent and Motutara Rd, and most of the walking tracks will still be off-limits, but visitors will be able head to the local businesses and of course to visit the famous beach. Joining me now is Auckland Council's deputy group recovery manager Mace Ward. 

Muriwai resident Pete Clouston's home was red stickered Cyclone Gaberielle. He joins Lisa Owen after another day of devastating rain.  

The country's biggest council says it's not going to compensate home owners whose homes were devastated in the Auckland floods and Cyclone Gabrielle. Affected homeowners are now setting their sights on the government's Cyclone Gabrielle Recovery Taskforce and next week's budget for support. In Auckland, almost 600 homes were red-stickered, 357 due to the January floods, and 227 due to Cyclone Gabrielle. Even more were yellowed stickered; 1943 homes were yellow-stickered after the floods, and 335 after the cyclone, according to data from MBIE. Morgan Allen is the spokesperson for the group West Auckland is Flooding, which has been calling for urgent managed retreats after the floods. His Massey home flooded during the January 27 floods, and is now yellow-stickered. Clare Bradley has a home on Domain Crescent in Muriwai, a road that has been badly impacted by slips, and also a business - the Muriwai Lodge on Motutara Rd. Both are red stickered.
