Proposed Whau Coastal Boardwalk 3. At Bay Olympic in Portage Rd, I attended the launch of the Whau coastal Boardwalk.

Noel will investigate how the Heritage Acquisition fund could support retention of this scheduled historic building. Avondale Redevelopment moves up priority list 6. Early work on the Long-term plan has identified the inner west triangle including Avondale as an area of spatial priority based upon a number of factors including the rail infrastructure and planning work already done. This is good news for our continued advocacy for Avondale. The Mayor’s Message which will be released on August 28th announces funding priorities for the Long Term Plan 2015-2025. Greenways Planning continues 7. One of our local board plan outcomes is that It’s 20 minutes to everything we need. Alternatives to car travel will enact this outcome and pathways connecting neighbourhoods known as greenways are part of the solution. Our greenway planning priorities are: Heron Park to Holly St Miranda Reserve connections Craigavon Park connection Rizal Reserve to Delta Ave Riversdale Reserve circuit Citizenship Ceremony 8. The Western area ceremonies to welcome and present citizen certificates to new New Zealanders are wonderful occasions. I always enjoy seeing people from all over the world valuing what our country can offer. Inaugural Fast response events grants 9.

Auckland Transport report Pedestrian crossing, Heaphy Street, Blockhouse Bay Auckland Transport’s investigation confirmed that Heaphy Street is the only leg of the five-leg roundabout that did not have a formal crossing. The location was assessed for a pedestrian crossing, carefully considering several factors such as pedestrian demand and desire line, traffic volumes, crash history, and proximity to driveways and side streets, amongst other factors. The investigation has concluded that a zebra crossing facility on Heaphy Street will result in significant pedestrian and vehicular safety benefits, providing easier and safer navigation of the roundabout for pedestrians, and encouraging care and awareness of pedestrians by drivers.

Coral Magnus Ph. 022 3145051 Page 5 September, 2014 Issue No. 136 THANK YOU TO OUR ADVERTISERS Page 6 September, 2014 THANK YOU TO OUR ADVERTISERS Issue No. 136 Issue 28 - September 2014 APATHY - a community spirit-killer There’s been quite a bit of discussion around the Rosebank neighbourhoods about this problem in the past couple of months, and the consensus seems to be that people either don’t care anymore, or that they just accept that it is what it is (where increased crime, increased rubbish, reduced maintenance and a lack of facilities is concerned) . WHY? Why accept the opinion, often expressed, that your community appears to be being treated like “The Lost Tribe” by elected representatives? Almost 90% of the reported crime in the NPT area happens in Rosebank, so the NPT naturally concentrate more of their prevention patrols there. But when we have a crime spike in Waterview, we get to hear about it pretty quickly - from the community; in Rosebank, the silence is deafening. Why is that? Is having 100 of your neighbours every month being crime victims acceptable? So long as it’s not you? Why do we have 60 people turn up to a community meeting in Waterview to discuss starting a Community Patrol in the NPT area, but the same meeting in Rosebank we had only 8 people turn up? And the next (well advertised) meeting we only had 14? Why can we not find more people in Rosebank to join the Community Patrol, and help be part of the solution, instead of accepting the problems? So we have a very small team who can only patrol occasionally. Why do we easily get Waterview people to join our Neighbourhood Safety Panel, but have struggled to get people from Rosebank over the 3 years? Police and the NPT staff are one part of the problem-solving process. The wonderful, hard-working and committed volunteers (who all have full-time work as well) on the Safety Panel are another part. But without the wider community rallying to positively change your neighbourhood, the same issues and grudging acceptance of them will remain, and the growing reputation of community apathy will be your legacy. While total reported crime in July was down compared to the past two months, property crime accounted for 75% of it - 25 reported burglaries & 15 thefts from cars, nearly all in the residential areas. Several prevention measures can help reduce the opportunity for offenders to commit crime; · Lock your doors and windows at night, and anytime you’re out · Install alarms, and turn them on if you are not at home · Always lock your car, even at home · Don’t leave valuables in your cars, including GPS/phones · Activate your car alarm/ immobiliser even when at home · Look out - ring 111 straight away if you see anything suspicious Our Facebook page reached another milestone, with our 500th ‘LIKE’ in August. Thanks to our supporters, and please ‘Share’ this page, and feel free to join us for regular updates about stuff in our NPT area. We’ve also signed up to neighbourly.co.nz, which is another way of keeping contact with and being available for our neighbourhoods. https://www.facebook.com/AvondaleNPT Don’t be the silent majority - challenge the ‘norm’, challenge the decision-makers to invest in your neighbourhood. Talk to your neighbours. We know from our interactions when NPT started that people are proud of their homes and families, so let’s be proud of our neighbourhood too! SAVE THE DATE… It’s back again for 2014! After a fantastic event last year, the Waterview Crew are bringing the fun run back again, this time up at Heron Park, and with the added twist of ’obstacles’ to negotiate along the course. So get in early and register now, and bring the whole family along for a great day. Or get together with your neighbours, and enter as a team.
