NZTA Waka Kotahi closed the road last month due to a slip, but it has since reopened. It was closed again on Friday and Saturday night due to rockfall.

Supporters holding out hope for Takapuna Golf Course

A popular North Shore golf course is holding out hope it can survive council plans to turn it into a flood catchment. Auckland Council has confirmed the Takapuna Golf Course will become a permanent wetland that has the capacity to soak up more than half a million litres of water or the equivialent of 220 olympic size swiming pools in a flood. Supporters of the course have strongly opposed the plan and offered up alternative solutions. However, today the council confirmed that 18 hole golf course is no longer possible and it can't guarantee a nine hole course, that's up to the local board to decide. Spokesperson for Takapuna Golf Club Phil Jaggard spoke to Lisa Owen. To embed this content on your own webpage, cut and paste the following: See terms of use.
