We’re very close to closing off HOP registrations and preparations are going well.
We are praying for a fine day on October 12 and are pleased to announce that KGM New Zealand will be joining us.
Meet KGM, the modern automotive brand fuelled by the legacy of SsangYong – South Korean-born, future-bound.
We’ve been advised by Auckland Transport that parking infringement fines have increased from October 1.
Overstaying for up to 30 minutes goes from $12 to $20, with increments thereafter.
Parking in a loading zone $70, and parking in an area reserved for disabled persons $750 – so don’t do that!
We’re very disappointed – gutted actually – that the Howick 175th anniversary plaque has been stolen again!
This plaque is for our community, celebrating our unique village heritage and history.
Many people work hard generously giving their time, talents and energy to make Howick such a special place.
A lot of effort and money goes into creating events, adding to the aesthetics of our streetscape, and improving the environment in which we live and work.
It’s soul destroying when that is disrespected. If you see any suspicious activity, please report it to police immediately.
Our AGM for our members will take place on October 16 in our office at 6/1 Central Terrace.
The Howick Village Association is a member of the Business Improvement District (BID) programme with Auckland Council, to improve and promote economic prosperity and outcomes.
We’re currently reassessing our BID zone boundary, and we’ll discuss this with our membership at our AGM.
Finally, we’d like to give a huge shout out to the Good Home Howick, which raised $16,816.50 for the NZ Prostate Cancer Foundation at their annual Blue September Brunch.
Their MC was Ian Morrissey, guest speaker Paul Campbell, as well as the CEO of Prostate Cancer NZ, Peter Dickens.
