Crop Swapping and recycling are sustainability focused events supported by the Pukerua Bay Climate Action Group, Waste Free Pukerua Bay and a local sustainability business My Bihome. Set up is at 3pm, with a karakia, then we swap to our hearts content.
Special this month:
Drop in with Nick at Predator Free Pukerua Bay. Ask questions, get advice or buy a tunnel trap.
Demonstration by Pukerua Bay Community Garden and Food Forest – growing microgreens as an affordable and healthy salad option.
Stick around for the Pukerua Bay Climate Action Group’s Clothes Swap after the Crop Swap.
P.S. Please come along even if you have nothing to share that week. Swapping is not limited to home grown plants and anything ‘garden and home’ (e.g. baking, preserves, flowers) is welcome.

Contractors (BOSCO) will start phases one and two of the work to improve Muri Road from Sea Vista Drive to number 43 Muri Rd. The improvements will include widening of the roadway and installation of a footpath to join up with the existing boardwalk on the rise from the intersection with Sea Vista Drive.
The Contractors have dropped off letters to Muri Road residents advising them of the works being undertaken and that there will be disruption to traffic flow and pedestrian access during the time the works are undertaken. Residents from 9A to 19 Muri Road have been or are being directly contacted by the contractor to work over access issues to their properties that will occur as the roading improvements are being undertaken.
To undertake the works the developer/contractor had been required to develop a traffic management plan for vehicles and pedestrians that PCC can be satisfied with. The nature of the works and the road itself has made a traffic management plan, acceptable to PCC, for pedestrian access through the works site not achievable. Meaning no pedestrian access through the worksite during operational hours.
The only option open to the contractor has been to advise pedestrian traffic to use the pathway along the closed Muri Station through Muri Reserve to Sea Vista Drive or across the railway tracks to Weku Road. Pedestrian access along Muri Rd will be open when works are not under way.
Phase 1 of the work is scheduled to start on 30 June and be completed in one to two weeks, with sealing of that section on 14th July.
Phase 2 is scheduled to take 17 working days to complete with sealing of the road scheduled for 5th or 6th of August.
As with any earthworks the progress will be weather dependant so completion dates may be earlier or later than scheduled.
At this point a schedule Phase 3 has not been finalised.
Anyone having difficulties with access can contact the BOSCO Site Manager Shaun Kennedy on: 027 343 8386
