Results on track for second night of speedway racing
Noise levels for the second night of speedway racing this
season have all complied with the mediated agreement reached
between local residents, council and speedway promoters in
October this year.
"All races were under 90dBA, and we
are pleased that all races have met with the agreed noise
levels," says Auckland City's manager of environmental
health and licensing, Chris Dee. "This is a good start to

Racing until the end of the year
will be on Saturday 10 December and Monday 26 December.
Data from the weekend's racing will be available to the
public later today. For further information on noise
control and the results of the monitoring please go

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti.
