Have your say on proposed changes to West Auckland bus services.
Auckland Transport (AT) is seeking public feedback on proposed changes for some West Auckland bus services. They are proposing to transform the bus network so you can use buses to travel to more places more often. The proposed changes aim to create more reliable and frequent bus services, they would like to hear your feedback.
While this does not directly affect Waiatarua there are changes that may be useful for some of our residents

White Rata / Metrosideros perforata
My garden is buzzing with bees and bumble bees. They are all over the white rāta vines that climb up the whekī trunks at the edge of my garden. Metrosideros perforata, to give it its latin name, is part of the pohutukawa / rata family and is one of 12 species native to Aotearoa /New Zealand.

Waiatarua Community Patrol News
While our patrol group is not allowed to operate under level 3 or 4 Covid Alert levels, our organisation is still here and we are itching to get back out on patrol in the community once we are finally at Step 3 of Level 3.
In the meantime, we extend our thoughts and best wishes to everyone – and hope that you are all managing well.

Longer Loan Times
From the beginning of August, we will be extending the time you borrow library books from two weeks to four weeks, the same as other libraries, so you won't have to hurry to finish your books any more.
We have received some great new books for you to read these cold winter evenings.
