Out and About
It’s been a busy month in the Tāmaki electorate office, but there’s been plenty of opportunity to get outside and make the most of the good weather. We are privileged to live in the greatest part of Auckland, and at the start of last month tens of thousands of locals descended on our Tāmaki Dr waterfront, me included, to take part in Round the Bays. It called for a large hat, comfy shoes, and of course, a pink shirt. I love seeing our beachfront utilised in the summer months and there were many smiles on the day.

What’s happening in Tāmaki?
Hasn’t it been a lovely summer? We’re right back into the swing of things in Parliament this month, and as good as it is to be back in Wellington, I love the feeling of coming back to the Tāmaki community each week and feeling the warmth of people in our neighbourhoods as well as the sun (it seems to evade windy Welly!).
This month, I had the pleasure of re-visiting Remuera Gardens Village. I spoke with residents at the Village during the 2023 campaign and as I visited again to officiate the opening of new apartments this week it struck me how quickly time passes! The new Avenue Apartments are now open and they’re spectacular. Well done to all the team (architects, builders, and project managers) as I understand it was delivered under budget and well before time, this will come as welcome news to current residents too! Impressive.

Back in Action for 2025
It’s been a wonderful summer to spend time with family and friends and to reflect. We’re lucky to spend our time not only in the most beautiful country in the world, but in a slice of Auckland with a real sense of community.
This community spirit was on full display when we farewelled Tracey and Mark, owners of St Heliers’ Miss Moo’s Kitchen, in January who’ve handed over the keys to their café to pastry chef Meng. I stopped in on their last day and was blown away by the number of locals who popped in to give a hug and well wishes. In our community, coffee isn’t just coffee, it’s served with warmth and friendship.
