Construction is soon to begin on a new retail and office building at the top end of Ponsonby Road, shaped by years of consultation, design work and careful consideration of its place within the neighbourhood.
Created by Samson Corporation, 42 Ponsonby will feature retail at ground level and three floors of office space above, with views toward Tuna-Mau (Western Park) and strong connections to Ponsonby Road.
The dream of peace, unity and acceptance remains strong, yet headlines around the world continue to be dominated by hate, conflict and division. New Zealand is not immune. At a time when many communities feel increasingly marginalised, the need to visibly celebrate diversity, inclusion and respect has never been more important.
That is why the Auckland Rainbow Parade proudly returns to Ponsonby on Saturday 21 February – bringing with it a vibrant reminder of what is possible when communities come together. After last year’s parade was disrupted by protests, this year’s event stands as a powerful statement of resilience, love and belonging wrapped in colour, creativity and joy.
The Association of Ki and Aikido New Zealand is pleased to announce the opening of its first Ki Aikido Dojo in Auckland. This Mind-Body Martial Art Practice is now available in Grey Lynn.
Our friends at Covert Theatre tell us they are glowing after a weekend of sold out shows and they’re gearing up to do it all over again. No shows on Waitangi Day, but they'll be back on Saturday with a few fan favourites!
First, set your trajectory and engage the warp-drive with Beam Me Up bringing cosmic-scale nonsense to Ponsonby's favourite little theatre. Then join in the carnival with Ferris Wheel. Every two minutes the wheel turns, and with it the story.
Strap into the ride or the captains seat – either way we'll see you at Covert Theatre on Saturday.
