Council criticised for lack of action over flood-prone properties in Howick

Bell’s home backs onto a nearby stream and stormwater culvert and whenever there’s heavy rain their section is flooded in a deluge of water, she said. And according to the couple at least twice a year it gets so bad the street outside the home floods as well. She took photos during a particularly bad storm in 2018, which shows their whole section and the street in front of their home under water. One image shows a member of the public wading knee-deep in stormwater past the house. Supplied A member of the public wading up Angelo Ave knee-deep in water in 2018 during a storm.

Local Matters - Wetland causes stink in Stanmore

Wetland causes stink in Stanmore BEFORE, 2018, Below, AFTER, 2021 A wetland created by Auckland Council three years ago on D’Oyly Reserve has fallen far short of what was promised, according to neighbours and park users, with some describing it online as “a rat-infested, weedy mess”. By contrast, Hibiscus Coast Forest & Bird, which first pushed for the creation of the wetland 10 years ago, claims it is “a major environmental success story” – a view that a number of residents agree with, saying it might not be beautiful, but it has more beneficial life in it than mown grass. The wetland, in Stanmore Bay, is the result of Council turning a piped stream into a more environmentally sustainable wetland. Previously the reserve was mown grass that got boggy in winter when a stormwater pipe frequently overflowed.

Revealed: Auckland s dirtiest beaches

Revealed: Auckland s dirtiest beaches Revealed: Auckland s dirtiest beaches Sun, 22 Jan 2017, 6:55AM Swimming has been banned at 10 Auckland beaches this summer because of worsening pollution from human and animal wastes. Permanent signs declaring that the water is not safe for swimming went up at the start of summer at Laingholm and Wood Bay near Titirangi, the north and south lagoons at Piha, and at the Bethells Beach lagoon - all popular swimming spots for children too young to swim in the wild west coast surf. Auckland Council has now stopped routine monitoring of water quality at all five sites, as well as at five other beaches that already had permanent warning signs - Cox s Bay, Meola Reef, Weymouth, the Wairau Stream outlet at Milford Beach and Little Oneroa lagoon on Waiheke Island.

Why Auckland s beaches are unswimmable every time it rains, and what s being done to turn it around 9 Jan, 2021 06:02 AM 8 minutes to read Home and hosed: Auckland water rules relaxed just in time for summer. Video / Will Trafford Social issues reporter, NZ Heraldmichael.neilson@nzherald.co.nz Ngarimu Blair has never swum in the waters of Ōkahu Bay, the ancestral waters of his hapū, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. It s not because he doesn t want to, but because of an intergenerational fear of getting violently ill. Blair grew up with stories like that of his great grandfather who returned home from World War I to find his debt repaid with a pipe pumping raw sewage and hospital waste into their treasured place of recreation and kaimoana.
