Vorpal Blade 89 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Who can tell me whats going on at Bean Rock. I noticed yesterday but didn't get a pic. There is a big work platform up on legs out there. Only saw it from a distance so it was hard to tell how close it is etc to the light, Is it getting another refit , new piles or is there a wharf being built there for easy access when it gets turned into an exclusive B & B.

Zozza 282 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Panuku installing CCTV capable of close up face recognition of sailors, together with new covid 19 laws to be able to track all your movements , to then be able to issue a "toll charge" each time you sail past Bean Rock, much like when you drive north of Auckland through the tunnel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vorpal Blade 89 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 I would like to see whoever is in charge of the place put a whole bunch of controllable webcams on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 142 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Perhaps even just 1 decent 360 camera so you can look wherever you want 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The big T 39 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Harbour Board was killed off in 1988 under local govt. reorganization. Regional Council given statutory role while Port Co. set up for commercial operations. Maybe a task for AYBA as a service to keeler fleets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 731 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 like the moorings probably part of auckland transport and all their 'camera money' is spent on cashing in on revenue gathering victimless crime to pay for trains and buses people no longer want to use Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 731 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 somebody ask them then what auckland's budget will be for tourism webcams? then compare it to the budget for buslane cams Auckland Transport (AT) collected more than $11 million in fines in the last year and the AA says the system needs an overhaul. But AT is instead planning to install even more cameras. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/04/auckland-transport-collecting-an-extra-4m-in-bus-lane-fines-per-year.html The 16 cameras currently in operation are on Fanshawe St, Queen St, Hobson St and Khyber Pass Rd. AT plans to install a further six CCTV cameras this winter to monitor transit lanes on Grafton's Park Rd and Great North Rd in Grey Lynn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The northern motorway will soon be at a standstill In the mornings of all the bus users users permanently switch to cars. Just because you love your car doesn’t mean it’s the right solution for everyone. In the same vein busses and trains don’t suit everyone. the problem comes in that motorway upgrades are paid by central government, but public transport is only funded by local councils, both with very different political agendas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 731 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 i'm sure public transport rates will rise again once covid distancing is a thing of the past Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 731 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 fair enough would love to see some good webcams on bean rock maybe vodafone could be allowed to paint bean-rock red+white with VODAFONE red on the white background and white on the red background i'm sure there'd be screams, but you'd only see the name from the water, from land it would simply be coloured the same as rangitoto lighthouse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
