The New Zealand Transport Agency, has put an application into the Whangarei District Council to widen the State Highway from Selwyn Ave to Wilson Ave, including the alteration of Mander Park.

This must go through a public submission process, as Mander Park is an area given to the people of Whangarei.

If you want to be heard goto the Whangarei District Council to pick up a submission form, and post in or email your submission back to Council.  Submissions close on the 10th September 2010.

When I was a kid these trees played a useful part in our lives. They were the posts for the corner flags, 25s and halfway lines in our rather odd triangle shaped rugby ground!
The try line at the other end was the netting for the tennis club and I couldn't understand at the time why Mr Puru(?) got so upset about us using the netting to score our tries on.

Times change - it's always sad to see anything older than about 20 years disappear but, I guess, that is progress.

Lucky that no-one has decided to put a highway through Mair Park yet!!!
