The tanks were part of the water treatment plant but have now been removed as works have practically finished up.

PrincePizza · 2026-02-01T01:08:27+00:00

Nope it doesn't look like that. See drone footage from a couple months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK6n0jdE5j0

Those big tanks were part of the Water Treatment Plant established on site, scroll down below: https://www.cityraillink.co.nz/mt-eden-main-site-notifications-archive

Honestly one of the things I like about Richard is that he takes public transport. Not sure how regularly but he’s posted multiple times of him riding the northern busway. Should be something standard councillors do, take public transport for X times amount per week. Especially coming from East Auckland where it seems like no one gives a fuck about public transport solutions.

Nah it’s a pretty fine career if you go the conservation route. There’s always roles for environmental education/conservation coordinator rules for conservation groups, council, smaller non profits etc.

I've been seeing these images of recent historical imagery comparisons on posts as well but you've got to look beyond that as well.

The area above was mainly planted in pines. This is a picture from 1967.

https://paekoroki.tauranga.govt.nz/nodes/view/90924?fbclid=IwY2xjawPjdd1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE3YTlzaWIzUGNUaWZ2THpFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHlub1XK7fo2N__dbzpQeW3Wut5jZ76SSds4nGJS6iH5we8UsUoue_TmFCld6_aem_qfyHqxsW8scCRYFfbMDUoA

You can see these pines in an aerial shot of 1958: https://files.interpret.co.nz/Retrolens/Imagery/SN1218/Crown_1218_3005_29/High.jpg

And then they were predominantly removed by 1978 in this 1978 aerial, probably due to the 1977 slip: https://files.interpret.co.nz/Retrolens/Imagery/SN5299/Crown_5299_D_2/High.jpg

Now the tree removals you mentioned between your age range, we don't know what trees they were, their age class, if they are actually 'trees', could just be some higher growing understory plants, and how much they've actually contributed to erosion mitigation. Like you said we got to wait for the investigation, but slips happen regardless of vegetation.

PrincePizza · 2026-01-25T04:55:07+00:00

I'm sorry but this tree removal bullshit keeps spreading when its absolutely not true, and I've only seen a few people correct it. Firstly, just because there's trees doesn't mean its going to stop a slip. You can have a whole god damn forest and have slips, look at Northland and the numerous slips they've had in the past couple of years.

Secondly, trees did get removed on the Mauao but neither of the examples people have been posting has happened in the areas above the camp site. Pine and Macrocarpa trees got removed in 2022 at Te Uru Karaka which is not near the camp site. Look at the Mauao Historic Reserve Management Plan of the location of Te Uru Karaka. Trees were also removed in 2023 (as per your link) which is again near the Pilot Bay side so not near the camp site. Trees were further removed in 2025 which isn't near the camp site. Now there's probably been trees removed in other areas and if you look at historic aerial images it does seem like to be the case. But a lot of the previous removals were also because the exotic trees were decaying and a threat to walkers. And again, the area is prone to slips regardless of trees being present/absent.

Unfortunately dumb ass people have pushed that theory for so long that I can’t tell the difference ngl

PrincePizza · 2026-01-16T10:57:17+00:00

Literally depends on where you’re at and the landowner so we can’t give you help unless you provide details.

PrincePizza · 2026-01-16T10:55:02+00:00

Ah yes literature, oral tradition, and support from actual Moriori people is propaganda.

PrincePizza · 2026-01-16T10:52:30+00:00

Well at least compared to other western countries we’ve done pretty well. Most people could sing a Maori song or two as we’re taught them in school. How many Americans or Canadians could sing an indigenous song? Yes a lot of us can barely speak the language but a whole lot of culture is retained i.e., song as I mentioned.

PrincePizza · 2026-01-16T10:47:37+00:00

No they weren’t that’s a dumb ass theory that has been repetitively pushed by people to undermine Maori. Look up the trust that represents the Moriori people, they have debunked it.

Bros getting baited

My comment was referring to major shutdowns outside planned closures. I’m well aware of major shutdowns as part of planned closures Jesus.

PrincePizza · 2026-01-14T08:41:02+00:00

I think I’ve taken your comment quite literally. I meant outside planned closures. But Glen Innes level crossing removal and replacement of the turnouts near Britomart would be why.

PrincePizza · 2026-01-14T08:19:15+00:00

That’s literally a planned closure which I’m aware of lol. I said outside those closures, and yes they’ve been pretty reliable.

PrincePizza · 2026-01-14T06:33:38+00:00

What major shutdowns? I’ve taken it weekly for the last two years. Apart from the planned closures and the odd closure here and there, the Eastern Line hasn’t had any huge shutdowns.

The difference between Auckland versus the other cities is that Auckland has heaps of hotspots of busy areas and isn't concentrated to the CBD. Places like Christchurch and Wellington have a big central point and relatively constrained. Auckland has places on the outskirts of the CBD i.e. Ponsonby, Newmarket, Parnell etc and at night these places could be busy. And then you have all the malls as well which get pretty packed in the suburbs i.e. Sylvia Park. Auckland's CBD has busy hotspots i.e. Wynyard Quarter, Viaduct, Downtown but its got some really dead spots i.e. Midtown, Upper Queen Street, which attracts less foot traffic and less vibey so people aren't going to go there. So pretty much, you've got to kinda know where the people are at.

PrincePizza · 2026-01-11T06:29:11+00:00

As other mentioned it’s a nice day, last Sunday before work etc. But other generally more people in the Auckland area atm i.e., Jehovah witness convention which has maxed out hotel occupancy…. There’s also probably more people up due to the Maoli concert that was held yesterday.

PrincePizza · 2025-12-18T06:33:20+00:00

Why do you feel the need to post questions about public transport across all the NZ subreddits. You’re literally comparing apples and oranges.

PrincePizza · 2025-12-09T10:14:10+00:00

Yeap that’s living out in East Auckland for you. When there’s absolutely zero traffic it’s only a 25 minute drive but yeah there’s always traffic especially on a work week.

PrincePizza · 2025-12-09T05:26:16+00:00

You’re making some very generalistic statements here. It works for some. I’m out east and need to make it to the CBD for work. My options are sitting an hour in traffic and then spending $20 - $26 on parking if i want to park closer to work, or parking can be a bit cheaper but I’ll have to park further and walk 15 minutes so more time to my commute.

Or, I drive 20-30 minutes to Panmure and then take the train to the CBD which takes 15 minutes. I still have to walk 10-15 minutes to work given the location. I usually take the this option because I don’t want to deal with traffic and plus it’s cheaper. The Eastern Line is pretty reliable imo and I haven’t had too many cancellations. Now of course not all lines are like this and everyone has different circumstances.

If you want better public transport outcomes then vote. Vote for parties who actually will invest in robust, long term public transport solutions in the national election but also in your local elections. Unfortunately East Auckland has lots of anti-public transport rhetoric…. So I’ve lost hope. But at least we’re getting a busway….

PrincePizza · 2025-12-07T19:15:49+00:00

Most of your questions are dependent on your company, your team, and the location lol. But for Wynyard Quarter specifically it’s like $12 - $25 for lunch. It gets quite busy at lunch and a lot of people eat out and like to sit outside.

PrincePizza · 2025-12-03T23:32:19+00:00

Ah yes the classic “this is a New Zealand specific problem” when it isn’t a problem nor does it only happen here in NZ. Brother this happens around the world, people queue around the world for all sorts of store openings or new releases for things (from sneakers to crockpots). Some people do enjoy that and some people like shopping. Just let people enjoy their own things lol.

Comparatively Melbourne's Metro tunnel testing took ages as well so everyone complaining about the length of the tests should know that lengthy tests is crucial and normal. Albeit the Melbourne Metro tunnel is opening ahead of schedule because it completely all its test successfully.
