Watercare has completed the first of three ‘shovel-ready’ projects in its $95 million plan to improve water services in Mt Roskill and the surrounding suburbs. The first project ticked off the list is the Akarana booster pump station. The booster pump station has the capacity to pump up to 200 litres of water per second into the local network – double that of the existing Hillsborough booster pump station which services the area. The pump station will be brought into service after the Waikōwhai watermains project is completed. Watercare and construction partner Fulton Hogan will work together to bring these two water infrastructure projects into service from early next year. The Wesley watermain upgrade, the third shovel-ready project for Mt Roskill, will be brought into service in December 2025.   Watercare project manager Peter Kukulsky says the investment is needed as the current water infrastructure is unable to keep up with population growth. “Once completed, these three infrastructure projects will enable planned growth and both social and private development to occur.   Kukulsky says by the time the Waikōwhai watermain replacement and Wesley works are complete, Watercare would have installed just over 10 kilometres of new pipeline. “Both pipelines are being built with larger pipes, ranging from 125mm to 558mm in diameter in order to take full advantage of the extra water that will be pumped through the Akarana booster pump station.” Kukulsky says every opportunity is being taken to reduce carbon emissions on all three infrastructure projects. “For instance, recycling 80 per cent of the asphalt excavated during the construction of the new pipeline will help to save about 73 tonnes of carbon emissions going into the atmosphere. "We also estimate the solar-powered cabins we're using at our project sites will help to reduce our carbon emissions by a further 6.5 tonnes each year.” Kukulsky says Watercare is currently continuing work on the Waikōwhai pipeline on Dominion Road, Dominion Road Extension and Olsen Ave. “Concurrently, our crews are carrying out the Wesley upgrades on Farrelly Avenue between Parkinson Ave and Denize Ave.  © Auckland Council 2025 All rights reserved For more information on what data is contained in the cookies, please click the 'Find out more on the Auckland Council website' button.

Michael Te Arawaka Te Huia was sentenced to 19 years in prison after being found guilty of 21 crimes against three victims spanning 30 years was the neighbourhood tinnie dealer who would invite teenagers in for a drink in the bar in the backyard of his Mt Roskill home "Magic used to get with a lot of young girls in the neighbourhood I think a lot of the young girls were using him to score weed from him Why else would a pretty young girl hang out with a scary old man that looks like him," one neighbour told police "He was using them and they were using him." Once the girls were tangled up in his world they would suffer cruelly at his hands with near-daily beatings and rape "I thought Magic was cool as when I first met him but later when I got to know him .. I was lured in and then he changed and turned into a monster," one of his victims told police • Read More: How cold case led to downfall of 'Magic Mike' Although the charges were unrelated to the murder of Jefferies, the link to her death was suppressed during Te Huia's trial in case it prejudiced the jury against him. Jefferies lived in the same neighbourhood as Te Huia but police will not comment on whether he was a suspect in her death. Shortly after the 2016 trial, the police started an internal review of all evidence gathered in Operation Waikowhai and Lyra. This was done by acting Detective Superintendent Paul Borrell who finished his report in August 2018. The Herald on Sunday sought a copy of the report under the Official Information Act but the request was declined by police. "The review report outlines some avenues of inquiries that Police staff from Auckland City district are considering," Detective Inspector Uraia Vakaruru wrote in response. Despite the report recently completed by Borell, Vakaruru said another Detective Inspector was again reviewing all the evidence gathered across the two investigations. Vakaruru said the police are not giving up hope of solving this case and holding those responsible for her death to account. "We believe this is a solvable case and we know there are people out there who have vital information which will result in identifying those involved." The death of Jefferies will feature on tonight's Cold Case episode on TVNZ 1 in which the investigation team will reveal evidence which have never been released to the public. This will include previously unseen CCTV footage and new details about items found next to her body. Vakaruru hoped the $100,000 reward and the new details would prompt witnesses to come forward with critical information. "We know there are people out there who know what happened to Katrina," said Vakaruru. "Relationships and loyalties change over time and our hope is that someone who has knowledge of Katrina's fate will ultimately do what's right for Katrina and her family and come forward." Immunity from prosecution may be considered for any accomplice. Her partially clothed body was found down a bushy slope off a road that winds through the Waikowhai Reserve, in the suburb of Hillsborough, on July 12, 2005. She was wrapped in a red tarpaulin and a black rubbish bag. A yellow PVC raincoat, a piece of plywood and a framed wooden picture were also found at the scene but examination of these items has been fruitless. A post-mortem established Jefferies was dumped in the Waikowhai Reserve after being killed somewhere else. The 2007 inquest was told that Katrina Jefferies often met friends and drank at the reserve, which was near her mother's house in Mt Roskill where she lived with her 20-month-old son. She was last seen by her mother Nicola Jefferies leaving their Whitmore Rd address on foot in the early evening of July 10, 2005. Nicola Jefferies said nothing could take away the heartache of losing her daughter and the fact that Katrina's son had grown up without ever getting to know his mother. "We want justice for Katrina and it pains me that her killer is still out there somewhere. Our family wants to move on and I still hold out hope that Police will find who did this to Katrina." The reward offer will remain in place until September 20, 2019, and up to $100,000 will be paid for material information or evidence which leads to the conviction of any person, or persons, responsible for the death of Katrina Jefferies. Police Commissioner Mike Bush will determine the amount of the reward and will, if necessary, apportion payment where there is more than one claimant. Immunity from prosecution may be considered for any accomplice, not being the principal offender, who gives information to the police. Anyone with information should go to their nearest police station, call 0800 COLD CASE, or email KatrinaColdCase@police.govt.nz Information can also be provided anonymously by phoning Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Four major water infrastructure projects under construction in Mt Roskill and its nearby suburbs will play a major role in supporting the construction of more than 12,000 homes The four projects underway are: the Huia 1 replacement on Duke Street and McCullough Ave the construction of the Akarana Pump Station and the watermain upgrades in Wesley and Owairaka These projects – alongside other planned water and wastewater infrastructure projects - will significantly support the development of a mix of 11,200 public as well as an additional 945 privately funded residential homes Project manager Tim Manning says the Huia 1 replacement will transport treated drinking water to around 20% of Auckland's population "We’re building a new pipeline because the current pipeline is aging and is no longer fit for its intended purpose “The new pipeline is being installed along road corridors and reserves to ensure easy access in case of any future network failures the new pipes will allow for increased water flow throughout the community.” Manning says the Duke St and McCullough Ave sections of the Huia 1 replacement project is on track to be completed by the middle of next year "Work on the replacement pipeline will begin on Donovan Street and White Swan Road in December." "We also plan to return to finish work on the pipeline's May Road and Marion Avenue section mid-next year." Project manager Peter Kukulsky says the Akarana Pump Station Waikowhai pipelines and watermain upgrade in Wesley and Owairaka are among the seven projects we will deliver in partnership with Kāinga Ora These projects are part of the Mt Roskill shovel-ready programme and will be completed within the next 15 years "These projects and upgrades are needed as our current water and wastewater networks cannot support future residential and commercial development.” Kukulsky says under the shovel ready program the Akarana booster pump station will be the first of the three water infrastructures to be built and is expected to be completed by March 2024 the Akarana booster pump station will be able to pump over 200 litres of water per second into the network - roughly doubling the amount of water available in the community.” Kukulsky says the Waikowhai replacement pipeline is expected to be completed in early 2025 with the Wesley and Owairaka upgrades scheduled for completion later that same year "Both infrastructure projects will see the installation of larger pipes that will be able to take advantage of the extra water the Akarana booster pump station can pump through.” construction partner Fulton Hogan has started the second stage of the Wesley and Owairaka upgrades "The project crew has commenced work on O'Donnell Ave and will proceed to work up Parkinson Avenue the team in Mt Roskill will continue working on the Waikowhai pipeline at the intersection of Richardson Road and Penney Avenue and on Richardson Rd East.” Kukulsky says commuters and residents can expect to experience some traffic and noise disruptions while these critical works are underway "Traffic management will be present throughout the project and consist of one-way detours "The traffic management currently on Richardson Rd will switch to Dominion Rd and Dominion Rd extension next year." to keep these disruptions to a minimum these works will be carried out during regular work hours 7am to 6 pm Monday to Friday – and we will continue to notify the public of any traffic management and layout changes before construction Sites will also be fenced to ensure public safety “Please follow the guidance of our on-site traffic personnel and posted signage.” Kāinga Ora General Manager Urban Development and Delivery Mark Fraser says the work they’ve undertaken with Watercare has already seen significant community benefits “Together over the last five years we have installed more than 5km of new watermains and 4.5km of new wastewater pipes in Roskill South “It not only lays the foundation for us and our build partners to build hundreds of new homes but also unlocks future private development in Mt Roskill while significantly improving service delivery and amenity for existing residents “The outcomes of these projects are testament to what working together collaboratively can achieve and we’re looking forward to continuing this partnership so we can keep delivering for Auckland.” The police are offering a reward of up to $100,000 in their quest to find out who killed an Auckland woman nearly 14 years ago Twenty-two-year-old Katrina Jefferies of Mt Roskill was found dead in Waikowhai Reserve She was last seen by her mother leaving their home two days earlier Her killer has never been found but the police's Auckland crime manager The announcement of the reward comes as new information relating to Operation Waikowhai the homicide investigation into Ms Jefferies' death is revealed on tonight's episode of Cold Case on TV1 at 8.30pm Some details of the case will be made public for the first time including CCTV footage and items found next to Ms Jefferies' body "We want to hear from anyone who saw Katrina between the evening of Sunday 10 July and Tuesday 12 July 2005 or anyone who has knowledge of where she went and who she may have had contact with during that period "We know there are people out there who know what happened to Katrina."

Wood vowed to be waiting at the school's gate to greet her at 3pm Parmar and Key visited Mt Roskill Primary and Waikowhai Intermediate school where they met school leaders and talked to pupils flanked by several security guards and press secretaries were met at Waikowhai Intermediate by excited students waving and screaming at the Prime Minister They later sat down in Class 3 and spoke to the students about their work and what school they wanted to go to next Key spoke to the pupils about their use of technology in the classroom and confided that his son Max often used online tutorials to help him study at university Parmar and Parata left the intermediate school in the same car at around 2.35pm they did not drive the 1.3km to Waikowhai Primary Wood told the Herald afterwards it was "a lost opportunity" a spokeswoman for Parata said her schedule was too busy to "entertain Mr Wood's misguided political stunt" "The minister had a full schedule of events in Auckland today She did not have time to entertain Mr Wood's misguided political stunt," she said he should have used the public education forum she attended in Mt Roskill last month as his opportunity to do so." Waikowhai Primary's principal Germaine Peterson had advised the minister's office "that now was not the right time for the Minister to visit the school so we will look to arrange another time in the future" Parmar hit out at Woods' comments about education funding "The Government has increased operation grant funding for schools by 1 per cent this year which is more than double the current rate of inflation of 0.4 per cent This funding is being targeted to those students most at risk of under-achieving "All schools in Mt Roskill will receive a share of this funding based on the number of students they have that met the criteria which is more than what his school would have received had the Government simply increased funding by 1 per cent across the board." She accused Wood of "playing fast and loose with the truth" saying they were based on the projected inflation figure of 1.5 per cent for next year and under those maths Mt Roskill schools would get $121,000 less in funding The only high-reach ladder truck in Auckland broke down last night Concept plans for a major upgrade of Molley Green Reserve in Waikōwhai received strong feedback at a

police have confirmed one of New Zealand's most senior detectives will lead a review of the cold case to take a fresh look at the evidence The 22-year-old Ms Jefferies was found dead in Waikowhai Reserve but suppressed the cause of death in order to not jeopardise the Operation Waikowhai police investigation No one was charged with her death despite a $50,000 reward and immunity from prosecution for witnesses But Te Huia was charged with the sex and violence offences on the basis evidence of interviews with three women when police re-investigated the Katrina Jefferies cold case in a second inquiry called Operation Lyra "The operation has been running since July and in that time we've spoken to several people some of whom made disclosures and complaints to us that required further follow-up and which resulted in these charges being laid," police said in a press statement in November 2014 "We have put a great deal of effort into reviewing the earlier Operation Waikowhai file and have been able to build on the good work our colleagues did in those years Operation Lyra will continue to follow up on any information that needs further exploration and we welcome the opportunity to progress this homicide investigation as far as we can take it." The link to Katrina Jefferies was suppressed during Te Huia's trial in March in case it prejudiced the jury against him Ms Jefferies lived in the same neighbourhood as Te Huia but police would not comment on whether the 56-year-old was a suspect in her death confirmed an internal peer review of the "vast amount" of evidence gathered from both Operation Lyra and the original inquiry would start shortly "A significant number of people have been spoken to over the course of the enquiry some of whom made disclosures and complaints that were not related to Katrina "The arrest and charging of the man sentenced was as a result of information disclosed to Police through the course of the homicide investigation." Mr Hooper emphasized the charges upon which Te Huia was sentenced were not related to Ms Jefferies The internal review will be supervised by Detective Superintendent Andy Lovelock who recently led the $5 million investigation into the 1080 blackmail case The cause of Katrina Jefferies' death was described as "highly unusual" by police at the time and several people have made false confessions to the murder Her semi-naked body was found down a bushy slope off a road that winds to the Manukau Harbour through the Waikowhai Reserve She was wrapped in a red tarpaulin and a black rubbish bag a piece of plywood board and a framed wooden picture were also found at the scene but examination of these items has been fruitless A post-mortem established Ms Jefferies was dumped in the Waikowhai Reserve after being killed somewhere else A coronial inquest was told more than 750 people had been interviewed by police - many had been spoken to more than once - and around 60 were still considered persons of interest Police even offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest The inquest was told that Ms Jefferies led a dysfunctional lifestyle and regularly drank and used illicit drugs She often met friends and drank at the reserve She was last seen on the evening of July 10 who did not find it unusual when she did not come home that night Police were unable to establish her exact movements between then and the time her body was found by a man walking his dog about 36 hours later are conclusive that her death was not accidental in the sense that she did not accidentally cause her own death," said Coroner Gordon Matenga said in ruling the death to be homicide "but she has suffered death at the hands of another" 10 July 2005: Katrina Ann Jefferies last seen alive by her mother 12 July 2005: Body found by man walking his dog in Waikowhai Reserve in the Auckland suburb of Hillsborough June 2007: Police in Operation Waikowhai offer $50,000 reward for information to solve the case November 2011: Coroner Gordon Matenga rules her death to be homicide but suppressed how she died July 2014: Police launch Operation Lyra to reinvestigate the murder October 2014: Unrelated criminal charges laid against 54-year-old man after complaints from three women interviewed during Operation Lyra May 2016: Michael Te Arawaka Te Huia sentenced to 19 years in prison on 21 sex and violence charges Police announce a review of the evidence in the Katrina Jefferies' investigation The girl group Blackpink is currently on the peak of their popularity with a lot of successful singles and international fame Jennie Blackpink is one of the brightest participants of this group who always wins public love with her charisma and talent Image: canva.com (modified by author)Source: OriginalJennie from the girl group Blackpink is an inspiring and admirable person.
