A long-running stoush between Auckland council and the owners of a North Shore property has come to a head, with the property now up for sale. At issue is a cottage on the Milford to Takapuna beach walk. The owners wanted the heritage listing removed so they can sell it for what it's worth. While the dispute rumbled on, the owners put a wooden fence up, so pedestrians couldn't pass through their property, severing the popular beach walkway between the two suburbs. The issue was bunted to the local board, which couldn't meet the owners' desired sale price. Louise Ternouth reports.

Sarah, a regular walker along her local beach, combines exercise with podcast episodes to help her learn, develop and find inspiration. On this particular occasion, she listened to an interview with Bianca Tavella, the founder of Fair Shot Café in the UK (on Purposely Ep #48). Fair Shot is a social enterprise café that supports young adults with learning disabilities in finding jobs in the hospitality industry. As Sarah immersed herself in Bianca's founder story, she experienced a profound and personal reaction. Although she had never met Bianca or heard of Fair Shot before, Sarah felt a mix of inspiration and frustration that someone else had brought her dream to life before she could. At this point Sarah has been trying to open a training café, the first in NZ, for over eight years. That walk and podcast episode were a turning point for Sarah. She felt compelled to take action and bring her dream to life in New Zealand. In September 2021, Sarah and her founding trustees launched Project Employ, opening their first training café in Takapuna on Auckland's North Shore. It was a few kilometres away from the beach where Sarah had made the decision to turn her dream into reality. Since then, they have opened a second café in partnership with Air New Zealand, located in the airline's Auckland Headquarters. Sarah successfully shared her dream with others, including volunteers and funders, and the progress made by the charity has been remarkable. Sarah defies the stereotype of a charity founder or CEO. Despite her extensive experience in special needs education for schools and charities, she lacks leadership experience. She openly admits to experiencing imposter syndrome and having to overcome a crisis of confidence to bring Project Employ to life. Sarah's belief in her mission stems from her firsthand experience as a teacher, witnessing the transformative power of belief and support in someone's life. The reality is that people with disabilities are more than twice as likely to be unemployed compared to non-disabled individuals, both in New Zealand and globally. Project Employ's vision is to create a community where young people with intellectual or learning disabilities have meaningful, paid employment, just like any other member of society. Unlike Fair Shot Café, Project Employ doesn't solely focus on hospitality. While work experience in serving and food preparation builds confidence, it also empowers individuals to pursue their dreams and contribute to society. Starting a charity is incredibly challenging. It requires a clear mission, vision, and, most importantly, funding to get off the ground. Convincing funders to support your vision is one of the toughest tasks. Funders seek confidence, a track record, and assurance that their funds will be used effectively to make a significant impact. Sarah has achieved the near-impossible. With little to no previous experience or personal wealth, she leveraged her dream, lived experience, and passion for people with disabilities to launch and scale Project Employ. She successfully convinced funders to believe in her vision. Sarah was also willing to sacrifice her own earning power, initially working for free to get the project started. She acknowledges that none of this would have been possible without the early founding team and volunteers who brought the experience she lacked. Together, they are making it happen. Most importantly, graduates of Project Employ are finding employment, and those who haven't yet secured a job have gained significant confidence and self-belief. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-longbottom2/message
Businesses in the Auckland suburb of Devonport say they are gutted long-awaited upgrades to the grid-locked main road are on the chopping block now the regional fuel tax is going. Lake Road is the one road into the peninsula and the planned improvements would have shaved 12 minutes off the commute to and from Takapuna. But the project is among 14 that are now being whittled down to just three when the fuel tax ends in July scrapping $600 million in funding. Amy Williams reports.
The beach day is a Kiwi classic, but for people in wheelchairs, accessible beaches are hard to come by. In Auckland, Takapuna is the only beach with a mat and accessible bathroom for wheelchair users. Their families are calling on the Government to invest in making public places like beaches accessible to everyone. Maia Ingoe has the story.
Allegations of blackmail have been levelled at the owners of a North Shore property which is blocking access to walkers on a popular beach path. The owners want a heritage status removed, so they can sell the property for what it's worth. While the dispute rolls on with the Auckland Council, they've erected a fence on the popular Milford to Takapuna walkway which passes through their property. The path is also part of the 3,000km Te Araroa trail, which runs the length of the country. The owners' lawyer believes a commonsense agreement can be reached, and took the issue to a council committee meeting today. But he was met by mayor Wayne Brown who was not on the same page.

It's been five years since the country's largest sculpture exhibition has graced the slopes of Fort Takapuna on Auckland's North Shore.
A popular Auckland walkway has been partially closed following a spat between some property owners and the council. The dispute is centred around a around a seaside cottage with heritage status, with the owners requesting the status be removed. The cottage used to belong to Kiwi artist and photographer Clifton Firth. Their lawyer, Alex Witten-Hannah, says the owners want to knock the 'derelict' cottage down, but Auckland Council hasn't moved. "We need assurance from the council that they are taking all appropriate steps in a timely way to lift the heritage listing." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The public has been blocked from a hugely popular coastal walkway, because of a stoush between the council, and a property owner. The Takapuna to Milford coastal walk runs through the Firth family property in Milford. Paul Firth allowed the public to freely walk through his property after a public bridge was washed out in storms 12 years ago. In 2013, Auckland Council gave the small cottage on the land a Category A heritage status, meaning it can't be demolished and developed. The inheritors of the property say they will gift the land the public walks through to the council - but only if the heritage status of the cottage is removed so the property can be developed. A year on, there's still no resolution, so the owners have put up a fence, blocking any public access through their property. The lawyer acting for the property owners, Alex Witten-Hannah, says it doesn't make sense for the cottage to be listed as a heritage building.

Many New Zealanders renters have become accustomed to the exhausting task of packing up and moving house every year or two. But a new 350-apartment development planned for Auckland's Takapuna could signal a shift towards large-scale projects built with long-term renters in mind. These 'build-to-rent' apartments provide tenancies of up to 10 years, giving renters some peace of mind. But while some believe these developments could help alleviate New Zealand's housing shortage, one developer says they won't sate people's desire to own their own home. Tom Taylor reports.
Between 12:30pm and 7:30pm on Saturday, the Auckland Harbour Bridge was closed five times. After the bridge was damaged by a truck in 2020, Waka Kotahi lowered their threshold for closing all lanes of the bridge. Devonport-Takapuna local board member George Wood says the continuous closures after the introduction of the new policy is causing mayhem and Waka Kotahi need to review their procedures for closing the bridge. Local board member George Wood joined Mike Hosking to discuss further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So another day, another shop closing for good because they're fed up with being robbed. That sees off West Auckland's only Post Shop – seven ram raids and break ins have pushed them over the edge. They've been in business 20 years. Now, they're closing their doors for good. It beggars belief that business owners are getting run out of town by thugs and criminals, but that's where we are now. Remember Michael Hill Jeweller in Auckland's Takapuna shut up shop after several burglaries and ram raids too? Reported retail crime doubled between 2018 and 2022. Auckland Business Chamber's Simon Bridges, when commenting on the violent attack by the ferry terminal in the CBD recently, said it's actually beyond a social issue now; it's an economic one too. People and businesses do not want to be where the criminals are - and at this stage, they're everywhere. Not just our big centres but small town New Zealand too. One woman wrote to me and said Palmerston North is so bad now that she worries about going into the main shops with her kids, and not surprising given the Mob behaviour and gang trouble in that part of the world recently. But according to Police Minister, Ginny Andersen, everything's tickety boo. There's no more crime she says, just more reporting of it. Well if she honestly believes that, then she is literally the only person who does. A fatal mistake governments make is when they deny stuff isn't happening, especially stuff we see before our very eyes on a daily basis. It's like when the PM said there was no looting happening post the cyclone in Hawkes Bay, when very clearly everyone else knew it was going on. You can't gaslight your way out of a problem by telling the people most affected by it, that it's not happening. Paula Bennett wrote at the weekend that, “We are told continuously by Police Minister Ginny Andersen that we feel safer… Retailers definitely don't feel safer and for good reason. Ram raids are up 500 per cent since 2018. Andersen said that ram raids are continuing to trend downwards, ignoring that there were 51 ram raids in March this year, up by 24 per cent on the month before… the number of victimisations for violent crime has jumped 33 per cent since 2017,” so she makes the point, no, we don't feel safer. And she's right, she's feeling the pulse on this more accurately than the Police Minister herself. We probably all know somebody personally now who has been impacted by crime, even if it's our local dairy. And the crime's more brazen these days, that's one thing the Minister does accept. But when five of our police districts now have more gangs than police officers, we know we have a problem. And even when the government reaches its 1800 new cops mark next month, the Police Association says that's still not enough, it doesn't make up for all those who've left - we need double that many more now. You can't argue with facts, and the stats say that ‘between 2017 and 2022, the number of serious assault reports increased by 121%, while reports of acts intended to cause injury went up by almost 30%.” This is not a safe country anymore, and it seems the last person to wake up to this fact sadly, is the Police Minister herself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An Auckland Michael Hill has finally closed its doors after multiple ram raid attacks. The Takapuna store's been boarded up since October and is now permanently closing after ten years in the suburb. Takapuna Business Association's Terence Harpur says it was hit about three times over two years. He's sad to see them go. "They just had a really great team, good community feel to it- I mean, they have given up their tenancy, but I'm really pleased another high-end store has quickly grabbed that high-end site."

This month, Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast hosts one of the sport's most recognisable talents as New Zealand's Dean Barker talks to double Olympic gold medallist Robertson about a career spent chasing the illusive America's Cup.From his formative years growing up in Takapuna, Auckland, Barker was soon sailing at a high level, and was inspired in no small part by the likes of Russell Coutts and the generation of remarkably talented New Zealand sailors making their presence felt on the global stage. Barker discusses these early days through to the moment when Russell Coutts asked him to helm the final match of Team New Zealand's successful Cup Defence against Luna Rossa in New Zealand...:"It was quite incredible, it was something that I will never ever forget, just having the chance to be a part of it was pretty special....but to be on the boat when we crossed the finish line...it was a huge weight off the shoulders...it was the first time I had touched the Cup and it was the start of a pursuit of trying to do that again."From that Cup win, Dean Barker would spend two decades chasing the illusive trophy, in a career that would see him gain a reputation as one of the most clinical match racers in the sport.Robertson and Barker discuss many of the key campaigns that have punctuated his career, including his appearance at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, and his Match Racing world title. They wrap up this, the first of two parts, as Dean discusses what his Olympic appearance meant to him personally, and how tough it was to qualify amongst the rich pool of sailing talent from his native New Zealand.In Part 2 the pair inevitably go on to reflect on the remarkable events of San Francisco 2013, a Cup that saw Emirates Team New Zealand concede eight losses in a row against eventual winners Oracle Team USA. The build up to the 2013 Cup was a remarkable period of development that had seen Barker's Team New Zealand innovate in the extreme, the end result, the fast, powerful fully foiling AC72 that stunned sailing fans across the globe. before also discussing the campaign with American Magic, at home in Auckland, along with a cautionary tale of his fight with colon cancer throughout the build up to that Cup. This edition of the podcast is another fascinating look into the life of one of the sport of sailing's biggest names, Barker's honesty and sincerity adding significantly to stories from a long and remarkable career.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website - www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Barker and Robertson then go on to reflect on the remarkable events of San Francisco 2013, a Cup that saw Emirates Team New Zealand concede eight losses in a row against eventual winners Oracle Team USA. The build up to the 2013 Cup was a remarkable period of development that had seen Barker's Team New Zealand innovate in the extreme, the end result, the fast, powerful fully foiling AC72 that stunned sailing fans across the globe...:"To say the boats were under control would be a massive over statement, they were so hard to manage on that reach across from the start to the turning mark off St Francis Yacht Club...the speeds and the power and everything, and how out of control you felt at times...you're thinking if it goes wrong here, we're going to be picking up pieces off the waterfront here in San Francisco!"The result of the 35th America's Cup is well documented, and is much talked about from many of the protagonists here on Robertson's podcast, but the effect of the very public loss on Dean Barker has been profound, a fact that he discusses with Robertson as he looks back on what was a difficult time.Bringing his career up to the present day, Barker also discusses the campaign with American Magic, at home in Auckland, along with a cautionary tale of his fight with colon cancer throughout the build up to that Cup.

It's warming up, but swimming is off limits at many of Auckland's beaches after heavy rain at the weekend resulted in high levels of faecal bacteria. St Heliers, Herne Bay, Takapuna, and Titirangi were among the beaches deemed unsafe for swimming with bacteria levels breaching national guidelines for swimming. Kathryn speaks with Auckland Council's Head of Planning Healthy Waters , Nick Vigar and Professor of Civil and Environmental engineering at the University of Auckland, and Watercare Chair for Infrastructure, Kobus van Zyl.
An Auckland man's been fined more than 50,000 dollars for getting rid of a protected pōhutukawa tree on a beachside boulevard.

Michael Hill is leaving its Takapuna store bordered up indefinitely. The shop has been hit by ram raids and smash and grabs three times this year, making it Michael Hill Jewellers' most targeted store. In the most recent raid last week thieves used a car to smash into the shop on Hurstmere Road. The jewellery store announced new security systems across its branches less than a week ago, including DNA tracking spray, more security guards, fog cannons and personal alarms for staff. The news the Takapuna store will remain closed shocked some locals, who spoke to our reporter Felix Walton.
Business owners in Auckland's beachside suburb Takapuna are shocked that a prominent Michael Hill store has been the repeated target of ram raids - so much so that it's closed while the company looks at beefing up security measures. The jewellery chain has 48 stores in New Zealand and the Takapuna store has been hit by ram-raids and smash-and-grabs three times this year. It's left the local community reeling. Takapuna Beach Business Association chief executive Terence Harpur spoke to Kim Hill.

Ab heute bekommt Ihr eine Woche lang täglich was auf die Ohren. Und zwar Insider-Tipps zu allem Schönen, was Ihr in und um Auckland auf jeden Fall nicht verpassen solltet! Den Anfang macht heute meine Freundin Petra Henderson. Sie ist toll, crazy, mutig und lebt schon länger in Neuseeland als in Deutschland. Und sie kennt sich aus. Deswegen freut Euch auf Petras Tipps. Aber... es gibt ja noch so viel mehr, von dem sie berichten kann: Ich sage nur Elefant im Anmarsch. Man glaubt es kaum, aber es gibt Beweis-Fotos. Auf meinem Instagram-Account...! Hier sind Petras Tipps: 1. North Shore-Strände, laut Petra „die schönsten Badestrände!“ 2. An der Northshore: Devonport, kleiner Ort mit viktorianischen Villen, z.B. mit der Fähre rüber, tolle Bibliothek, schöne Cafes und 3. Natur Pur an der Westküste – z. B. Piha, Anawhata, Muriwai mit der Tölpel-Kolonie und tollen Walks, z. B. dem Hillary-Trail. Das Hillary-Familienhaus steht immer noch dort. Der da noch nicht ('Sir') Edmund Hillary hat sich dort auf seine Mount Everest Besteigung vorbereitet. 4. Ausgehen und Kunstgalerien im Stadtteil Ponsonby. 5. North Shore Strand-Walks: 5A. Campbells Bay Richtung Browns Bay. Man läuft ganz toll am Strand und auf Betonwegen „durchs“ Wasser. Auf der einen Seite ist das Meer, auf der anderen kleine „Pools“. Nach Hightide sollte man ein bisschen vorsichtig gehen, da gibt's Stellen, die auch schon mal glitschiger sein können. 5B. Takapuna nach Milford (oder eben umgekehrt). Ein ganz abwechslungsreicher Walk, da man am Strand lang läuft und aber auch mal ein paar 'rockige' Steinformationen gehen muss. Aber alles easy machbar - es ist ein offizieller Walkway! Manche laufen in Flipflops (oder 'Jandals', wie sie hier in Neuseeland heißen...), das würde ich aber definitiv NICHT empfehlen. Sneaker oder eben festes Schuhwerk ist schon angebrachter. Nehmt auf jeden Fall Euer Badezeug mit - man muss einfach ins Wasser unterwegs oder hinterher. Überall an den Stränden gibt es Toiletten und Duschen! Und in Takapuna auch ein Café mit tollem Kaffee, Croissants und Eiscreme!!! Und vielen Leckereien mehr! 6. Extra-Spezial-Tipp: Ausflug nach Rangitoto. Dem jüngsten Vulkan Aucklands. Dorthin kann man in ca 30 Minuten von der Innenstadt mit der Fähre rüberfahren und durch die Pohutukawa-Wälder wandern. Herrlich! 7. Extra-Spezial-Tipp: DOC-Campingplatz in Tawharanui (gesprochen: Taffaranui) – wahnsinnig schön gelegen, direkt am Meer. Toll zum Bodysurfen, auf jeden Fall also vorher irgendwo ein preiswertes Boogie-Board kaufen (z. B. im Op-Shop oder im Warehouse!) und dort Spaß haben! Bis morgen! Ach so - und hinterlasst sehr gerne eine gute Bewertung für meinen kleinen Podcast, damit er wachsen, gedeihen und gefunden werden kann. Fragen an mich? Immer gern her damit. Hier oder auf meinen Instagram-Accounts: *Aliki_Tsiantoulas und/oder *PodcastAlikiinNeuseeland Dort gibts auch Fotos und Videos zu meinen hier geteilten Geschichten (und mehr...) Wenn Ihr Schmuckliebhaber seid oder Eure Liebste/Liebsten gern beschenkt, könnt Ihr natürlich auch immer gern in meinem Etsy-Shop vorbeischauen: "Aliki in Neuseeland" https://www.etsy.com/de/shop/alikiinnewzealand --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aliki7/message
North Shore residents say the robbery in broad daylight of a local jewellery store signifies a growing trend along one of Takapuna's main streets. Men armed with what appeared to be crow bars have smashed their way into Michael Hill Jewellery yesterday, one of them taking a swing at a member of the public before taking off with their loot in a stolen vehicle. The local community board chair says its just one incident in what's a worrying trend in the area. Nick Truebridge reports.

The Mortgage Man - A podcast for everyone with or wanting a mortgage
A lot has happened in the last 7 days. For most of us, the new war is so far away that we are not affected by it too much; apart from maybe the disbelief that war still can happen in 2022. Regardless, the one thing that does react to overseas invasions is our investments and KiwiSaver balances. You might have seen your balance drop; so what should you do? Change funds or ride the wave? That depends on what you are using your Kiwisaver for and the timeframe that you think you will withdraw it. Chris and I, coming from our new office in Takapuna talk about what you should do and what you should not do in these very interesting times. And like always; if you need individual advice please email hello@tanta.co.nz
The price of petrol continues to climb, edging closer to $3 for 91. A large slice of that is made up of taxes. In Auckland it's 52 percent of the bill. Right wing lobby group the NZ Taxpayers' Union today held what it called a "Fuel Tax Honesty Day". Those who rolled up to the Gull station in Takapuna between 12 and 12:30 and filled up got 52 percent of their bill back. The group's spokesperson Louis Houlbrooke says the government can curb the surging prices. The AA says the sudden rise in prices can be put down to the cost of getting fuel into the country and the ongoing tension on the Russia-Ukraine border.

18-year-old Amy is mourning her mother's death when we meet her in The Lighthouse, the debut novel by Takapuna-based Christopher Parker. Her father Kevin is desperate to help her, but fears that their relationship is broken beyond repair because he was away from home so much when Amy was growing up. He takes her to the seaside town of Seabook on America's West Coast, where the big tourist attraction is an historic lighthouse. There Amy meets a troubled young man called Ryan who's unintentionally about to cause his father a whole lot of grief. Christopher Parker tells Lynn Freeman that it was seeing a lighthouse in the distance while walking along Takapuna Beach that was the starting point for the novel.

In amongst the many events dealt the Delta blow this summer is NZ Sculpture OnShore - a major art exhibition held in Takapuna, Auckland. The exhibition is not only the country's largest sculpture event, it's also the biggest fundraiser for Women's Refuge.
A mainstay of Takapuna's cafe scene has closed its doors for the final time, due in large part to Auckland's Covid-19 restrictions. It's a tale of woe shared by many on Hurstmere Road, where restrictions, coupled with road works, have driven some businesses to breaking point. Our reporter Nick Truebridge and cameraman Nick Monro took a stroll down struggle street.

Freedom from suffering. Yes, this is entirely possible. I used to suffer intensely from anxiety, depression, loneliness, solitude, and so much more. I have found greater freedom from this suffering through a lot of inner work. This has come from the teachings in both science and spirituality. From both studying the brain, and from Buddhist Monks. Today, I dive into what suffering is and the four key steps you can take to start to create greater freedom from suffering itself.

Developers will be able to demolish homes and build apartment blocks of at least six storeys deep inside many of Auckland's traditional suburbs under a new Labour Government law aimed at addressing runaway house prices.Auckland Council has released a proposed approach for implementing the changes requiring more intensification across the city.In the biggest change to planning rules since the Unitary Plan, developers will be able to build tall apartment buildings within a 15 minute walk of the central city and 10-minute walk of 10 metropolitan areas - Takapuna, Newmarket, Henderson, Albany, Botany, Manukau, Papakura, Sylvia Park, New Lynn and Westgate/Massey North.The biggest impact will be on suburbs close to the metropolitan areas, which are largely zoned for single houses, such as Remuera, Mt Albert, Sandringham and Milford.Matt Lawrie from Greater Auckland joined Kerre McIvor to give his take on the proposals.LISTEN ABOVE

The news of a drop to Covid-19 alert level 2 was met with joy and relief from locals on Takapuna beach this afternoon. Locals shared their thoughts with our reporter Ella Stewart.
In today’s episode I’m talking to the wonderful Alex Walls – owner and general manager of A&C Homestore. For many of us, Alex first came to our attention when she appeared on The Block NZ in 2014 with her husband Corban. For avid watchers you will remember that Alex and Corban won that year while they completely nailed the show from a design perspective and were super generous when they won, giving away a portion of their winnings to one of the other teams who didn’t have a great result. When The Block finished Alex and Corban launched A&C Homestore after they struggled to find affordable and locally accessible furniture and homewares that truly reflected their own style and character. What began as an online store and a pop-up shop in Takapuna has since grown to include three Auckland stores in Birkenhead, Mt Eden and Orakei. In this episode you will hear how Alex started her career in fashion retail and then turned a reality TV experience and a strong eye for design into three growing retail stores and a homewares & lifestyle brand. And she's done it all while having two babies and a major new home build. I'd say she's the ultimate creative multi-tasker and I hope you get as much from this episode as I did!

While the majority of the known world are preparing or are already in some form of lockdown or movement limitations, Aotearoa and her citizens are already spending days at the beach and enjoying several outdoor family gatherings. All kiwis except for members of our disabled community who require a wheelchair for all forms of movement. Especially accessing our many beautiful beaches & seaside sceneries, due to the difficulty of maneuvering their chairs on sand and other similar surfaces. This summer, there is a gleam of hope in the form of access mats now laid out in parts of Takapuna beach.

The hospitality industries expected to suffer because people, won't be able to see the America's Cup from the shore.Luna Rossa has convinced the Arbitration Panel to cancel the inner harbour stadium courses.They'd have provided spectacular views for the public, from both Devonport and Takapuna.Auckland University associate professor Mike Lee told Kate Hawkesby taxpayers have a right to feel cheated, because they're paying for the infrastructure for the event, but in the end it is a television spectacle.“We should feel a little bit cheated because... we pay for the infrastructure… we can all imagine summer time, level 1… imagine tens of thousands of people at the water front looking at these magnificent boats.” He says unfortunately for these loyal fans, they don't make the money for this sort of sponsorship event.Lee says tens of thousands would have gone to the waterfront, and spent money in cafes and restaurants, and now some of them won't bother.

In the fast-paced world of PR and marketing, for outsiders wanting to get into the industry it's sometimes hard to see where you can get an opening. Especially if your studies have pointed you in one direction, yet you feel the desire to chase down a new career in communications, where do you even begin? Rebecca Mahoney has made a successful career from taking opportunities as they presented themselves, working her way into a senior role at David Jones from a starting position as social media manager for a Takapuna retail store. In this episode, Murray speaks candidly with Rebecca (also one of his past employees) about her personal journey and learnings as she's navigated this industry as an aspiring PR maven still in her early 20s.
It's been confirmed the person who attended three gym classes in Auckland before testing positive for Covid-19 is a healthcare worker at the country's only quarantine hotel. It's likely the worker contracted the virus at the Jet Park near Auckland Airport, but exactly how is still being investigated by health officials. Authorities have urged 89 close contacts who attended gym classes at Takapuna's Les Mills to self isolate and get tested. Amy Williams filed this report.
Health authorities will today confirm if anyone who attended gym classes with a health worker who has tested positive for Covid-19. The authorities have urged almost ninety close contacts who attended the classes at Takapuna's Les Mills to self isolate and get tested. It's likely the worker contracted the virus at the Jet Park near Auckland Airport, but exactly how is still being investigated by health officials. Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield told Morning Report results should come through on Tuesday. [audio_play] "We'll expect those results to come through today." - Ashley Bloomfield "We'll be able to give an update today on just how many of those people might have been infected if they were exposed during that session," he said.
Aucklanders are being warned a person with Covid 19 visited the Les Mills gym in Takapuna, as well as Countdown and Warehouse stores in Milford, This as the country finds out today if alert levels will be changing - some experts say it's too soon for Auckland, and Fire fighters are battling a fire on a fishing boat that is well ablaze in Milford Sound this morning.
Attendees of three classes at the Les Mills gym in Takapuna on Auckland's North Shore are being asked by health authorities to contact them urgently. This after the Auckland public health service confirmed last night a person who has now been diagnosed as having Covid-19 had visited the gym twice last week. The gym has had several deep cleans and remains open. Reporter Jean Bell is in Takapuna
Some Aucklanders are worried political pressure from the impending election will force the Government to lower the alert level for the city before it's ready. It comes as Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) confirms a person later diagnosed as having Covid-19 had visited a number of locations in the community before knowing they had the virus. The locations include Les Mills gym in Takapuna, Countdown Milford and The Warehouse Milford. Cabinet will meet on Monday to discuss alert levels with Auckland at 2.5 while the rest of the country is at two. Hamish Cardwell has been checking out the mood in the country's largest city.
The Auckland Regional Public Health Service is asking anyone who attended three fitness classes at the Les Mills Gym in Takapuna to stay at home and contact Healthline on 0800 358 5453 as soon as possible. This after the service confirmed last night a person who has now been diagnosed as having COVID-19 had visited a number of locations on the North Shore. A spokesperson for Auckland public health says anyone who attended the same Les Mills Takapuna classes as the person is considered to be a close contact, and at greater risk of becoming unwell. Those who may have attended the gym around the same time as the case (between around 5.15pm and 7pm on 9 September and 9am and 10.15am on 10 September), but who were not in the same classes, are considered casual contacts. Corin Dann spoke to Professor Shaun Hendy and ased why the Takapuna gym is of particular concern.

As New Zealand continues operating under Covid-19 Level 1, it seems an air of cautious optimism is percolating among financial advisers as they start to put the near total shutdown of the country behind them.Katrina Shanks, CEO of Financial Advice NZ, says there is no doubt financial advisers' revenue was reduced during the Level 4 lockdown, but that today they are just getting on with business as normal.Read our special report – Mood of the Financial Adviser Nation - at riskinfonz.co.nzFMA ReturnsAmong the FMA's priorities for the next six months include monitoring the changing regulatory risks as the Covid-19 pandemic plays out across New Zealand and around the world.In an announcement, the regulator expects the pandemic to continue to have a significant impact on the economy, financial advice sectors, and consumers.However, it appears its softly, softly approach is being replaced with a business as usual approach.The FMA says it has resumed its supervisory monitoring programme, which includes planned, reactive and thematic monitoring of licenced operators.New regimeLawyers at Buddle Findlay have run the ruler over the incoming regulatory regime and comments on how different it will be to the current system.The company says that while the new disclosure regime aims to make disclosures available as-and-when they are “most appropriate” to the client “…the timing and content of each of those disclosures reflects a stated purpose”.In addition there's a reminder that AFAs will not be required to submit their annual information returns this year thanks to a concession by the FMA.Free trainingPartners Life is planning a three-day training course for advisers who have worked in the industry for less than 24 months.The company's New Adviser course is free and being held on August 17, 18 and 19 at the company's offices in Takapuna, Auckland.

BOB’S BEST BUYSWine: Kumeu River 2018 Village Chardonnay $18Why I chose it:Chardonnay is an “all-seasons” wine (we’re between the seasons)Kumeu River is one of this country’s top Chardonnay makers – featured in the documentary film “A Seat at the Table”It’s a classy wine at a very smart priceMix of Kumeu and Hawke’s Bay grapes from Kumeu River’s new vineyardMy wife loves it.What does it taste like?Impressive wine from a challenging vintage. Peach and apple flavours with an attractive seasoning of nutty yeast lees characters. Smooth textured wine with a great balance of sweetness and fruity acidity.Why’s it a bargain?It’s the least expensive Chardonnay from a top producer.There are many Chardonnays in the under $20 category. Very few are as good as this.Where you can buy it?First Glass Wines, Takapuna $15.99Kumeu River winery $18 (taste it and other wines in the range)Food match?It’s a good allrounder with seafood and white meats such as chicken or pork.Strong enough to handle a little spice.I’m happy to drink it with lamb.Will it keep?Another year or two in the bottle would do it no harm, although the wine probably won’t get a heck of a lot better than it is right now.LISTEN TO AUDIO ABOVE
The man jailed for the Ashburton Work and Income double-slaying is appealing his conviction and sentence. Russell John Tully's appeal will be heard at the Court of Appeal in Wellington in March. Tully was found guilty in 2016 of being the masked gunman who stormed the Ashburton centre in 2014 and shot dead 67-year-old receptionist Peggy Noble, from point-blank range and shot 55-year-old case manager Susan Leigh Cleveland three times as she pleaded for her life.The 52-year-old was also found guilty of attempting to murder case manager Kim Adams.He was found not guilty of attempting to murder case manager Lindy Curtis who was shot in the leg and badly injured while hiding under a desk.In 2016, he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 27 years - the second highest non-parole period ever handed down in New Zealand history. Throughout the court process, Tully always indicated he would appeal its outcome.Also today, Tensions are rising as residents in a Takapuna townhouse complex grow accustomed to life next to a nine-level apartment block.They've raised a number of concerns including views of a naked man in "full visibility for young children", parking and vehicle issues, light pollution spilling into homes at night, bedrooms and bathrooms without blinds and altercations between the neighbours.Hosted by Juliette Sivertsen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Master of Wine Bob Campbell talks to Jack about his Best Buy of the week, Kumeu River 2017 Village Chardonnay.The first vintage of Village Chardonnay I tasted was from the 2002 vintage and it has been my “house Chardonnay” ever since. The latest release, from the 2017 vintage was sent to me for review by Kumeu River. In the past Villaga Chardonnay has been made exclusively from grapes grown in Kumeu in north-west Auckland. This vintage includes a blend of Hawke’s Bay grapes. Kumeu River has now bought a vineyard in Hawke’s Bay so I expect to see an increasing Hawke’s Bay component in the future.It's light, fresh, tangy Chardonnay with ginger, biscuit, grapefruit and a subtle hazelnut flavours. Appealing wine with lovely purity and an ethereal texture. It’s a sophisticated wine offering a level of quality that we don’t usually see at this price point.The best price I could find was from First Glass Wines in Takapuna where it is selling for $15.99. Glengarry Wines in Auckland have it listed for $18.99. If you want to try before you buy, always a good idea, you should visit Kumeu River winery on SH16 just before you reach Kumeu travelling from Auckland.Food match: Smoked salmon is my favourite combination but it’s a fairly versatile food wine that will match most seafood and white meat dishes.Will it keep? While there’s no rush to drink it there is not much to be gained by hanging onto it. It’s probably as good as it is going to get right now.
A few weeks ago I went to New Zealand with my fiancee Isla in order to attend the wedding of her brother Charlie to a New Zealander called Jo. It was a lovely wedding but I never asked for permission to record any of it so I can't bring you any of that which is a shame. On the other hand, some of the recordings I did get were cool and interesting and bring back fond memories of a country I miss already. Firstly you'll here a recording from the back garden of the first place we stayed in Auckland, a peaceful wee place right in the city centre. Next is a recording of the induced eruption of the Lady Knox geyser. Induced yes but no less amazing for it. Our tour of Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland really gets going and Isla, the real star of this show, really hits her stride with some reading from the info scattered throughout the park and her wonderfully evocative descriptions of what we find. All this being said, no description could ever do it justice. If you ever get the chance to go, you won't regret it. Lastly, after a brief interlude to hear the sound of New Zealand traffic lights, Isla then describes what she can see at Takapuna beach back in Auckland. A standard beach? Yes but not quite. I hope you enjoy these recordings. Feel free to respond on here or on my Twitter. I'd like to thank Charlie and Jo for inviting us to their wedding, i'm so grateful I got the chance to go. I'd also like to thank Isla's parents for driving us round New Zealand. That was much appreciated.

PHOTO Scene from the Summer 2016 production of King Lear at the Pumphouse, Takapuna. Edgar asks his (now blind) father Gloucester to visualise Dover Cliff. ACADEMIC WORD Visualise means to be able to imagine or understand something visually. Sometimes lecturers ask the audience to visualise a real or imaginary scene which they are describing. Charts and models are important ways of allowing readers to visualise data and theories. One example of this is the way that important concepts in a subject are organised into a taxonomy, which shows the relationship between the different elements in a system – these are typically represented in visual form as a tree diagram or a network. This is the topic of today’s online lecture. TEST Which one of these sentences is NOT correct? Can you visualise Donald Trump as US President? I’d like you to visualise the scene as the emergency services arrivde at the site. The following slide visualises the structure of dna. The traditional organizational chart may distort the way we visualise relations between team members. KIWI QUIZ QUESTION Which of the following is an important visual symbol of Maori culture? the koru the haiku the torah VIDEO https://www.zaption.com/lessons/56b1239290e8a46b7bd1ca87 This is a TED talk by Manuel Lima about the changing ways in which we have visualised knowledge. I have inserted comprehension questions in the video and added a list of interesting vocabulary at the end.
