Te Pitau Whakarei (Nelson Intermediate School) placed second overall with Motueka’s Ngā Mātātu pu (Parklands School) placing third. This qualified all three rōpū (groups) to represent our rohe (region) at the national competitions Te Mana Kuratahi which is to be hosted here from 29 October to 3 November 2023.
Investigations into the multi-mil lion-dollar redevelopment of Nelson’s aging aquatic facilities are continuing and the Nayland Pool complex could be first in line for a makeover.
Almost 700 tamariki from across Te Tauihu, took to the stage at Trafalgar Centre on Friday for Te Huin ga Whetū kapa haka competition. 18 schools and kura from Wairau to Tapawera took to the stage, with Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tuia te Matangi taking out the top spot and a clean sweep in all performed disciplines.

space would be retained, with a bomb pool, hydroslide, picnic spaces, and a splash pad. The oth er option for Nayland would be a larger 50m pool, but there would be no provision for an outdoor space. This has a higher price es timate of $45.8m.

Nayland Pool is 45 years old and currently home to the only 50m pool in the region, but it does not currently meet competition stan dards. RSL Consultancy has rec ommended a $38.9m option for the complex which could involve replacing the current 50m pool with an indoor facility compris ing of a smaller 25m eight-lane pool, teaching pool, leisure pool, spa pool, and cafe.

The recommended options will be considered through the de velopment of the Parks and Re serves Activity Management Plan 2024-34 and the preferred option will be consulted on through the Long Term Plan 2024-34.
The current 30m pool could be replaced with a 25m pool. Teach ing, hydrotherapy and spa pools, a café, and a public splash pad on the adjacent reserve are also mooted. The existing entrance façade would be retained but the rest of the facility would be deconstructed, as would the ex isting early learning centre. This has an estimated cost of $27.8m. The design of a new facility would also take into account the recent weather event.

The major redevelopment is sched uled for February 2023 and aims to address some “serious drainage issues” in the current playground, which is located by the cafe.

“The existing playground is looking a bit run-down and a bit dated. It also has serious drainage issues that leave muddy trenches in wet weath er and it isn’t accessible to people with different mobility needs,” says Nelson City Council’s general man ager of community and recreation, Andrew White.

“I truly believe that the council and the geotechnical profes sionals have got a really good handle on what’s going on here, I don’t have any doubt about that, but I think some times even the advice from some of the most informed goes unheeded.”
Some residents of Nelson’s Rocks Road have been able to go home with their properties deemed safe, follow ing hundreds of landslides triggered by the recent deluge that had threat ened them.

The once rundown 1940s bungalow was restored six years ago and paint ed a bright, striking red which made it one of Nelson’s most recognisable waterfront homes. But it was now surrounded by a landslide, and inside the thick mud sat waist deep.
GNS Science engineering geologist Chris Massey said the hundreds of slips detect ed across the region after the heavy rainfall were now being systematically mapped.
“We’ve got a roadmap to get as many people back in as fast as possible,” Maxwell said.
But many were still waiting to learn if and when they will be able to return. In Nelson, 62 homes were still red-stickered and almost half of those - 26 - were in Tāhunanui.

Water fluoridation
Judy Crowe
Reason #264 not to grow pine plantations close to a city of 55k people.
Andrea Warn
Every other industry that pol lutes or wants to pollute has to go through a rigorous resource consent process or pay fines and compensate affected parties. The pine industry pollutes the air ev ery year and walks free of charge like nothing happens. Growing millions of pine trees is not nat ural and pine pollen should be seen as industrial air pollution. Do they contribute anything to the health system? Can you get subsidised anti-allergy medicine?

Why does Nelson keep wringing its hands and saying there is no where to solve the problem. It is for just 12 men! Poland has re cently received 1 million refugees from Ukraine and Russia. These are all women and children or very elderly, bombed out of their houses by Mr Putin. Many are now housed in new villages con sisting of prefabricated homes, trucked to the site from factories. Why cannot Nelson utilise the old Anchor foundry on Haven Rd? Yes, it is to be demolished for the new promenade, but this is still years away.

Neville did an excellent job or ganising working groups with the mayor at that time, and older people in the community greatly benefited from that work. Once he was no longer Nelson Grey Power president, much of that work fell by the wayside and Nel son was poorer for it.

In numerable scientific studies have raised many red flags regarding the risks to health of water flu oridation.

I want to make sure that the residents of Stoke and Tahunanui have a voice in our council. I promise to make sure that I will represent the views of our residents in every council decision and policy if I have the privilege of sitting on the council in this election.
As our community continues to recover from the recent weather event, it is essential that collectively we ensure resilience in our people, infrastructure, and transport corridors. Therefore, I urge you all to seek support from the different sources available and continue to be patient with each other.
· Sustainable Future via economic growth
I will continue to make decisions that are made in the best interests of Nelson. Vote 1 for Trudie Brand, the Councillor Working for You.
I believe cars, roads, malls and car parks are all essential for our aging population and that infrastructure must come before wasteful non-essential expenditure. Wokism destroys growth and future prosperity as seen in many councils and I’m vehemently opposed to the 3 Waters proposal.
It is not achieved by my work alone, but by our community.

I believe we need to protect these natural resources and maximise the benefits our diverse region offers for the benefit of the whole community. We need to act smart, and act now, with our community’s resources. And we need to get real about safeguarding our future pipelines of water and food to avoid vulnerability of supply. To encourage innovation and investment, jobs, and housing in our region, we need to simplify the obstacles of bureaucracy, or the burden to do this becomes too great.
We all want our money to go further. But rising costs have left many Nelsonians worried about paying their bills and providing for their families.

We have a wonderful city and through smart local policies and a get-itdone attitude, I believe we can continue to improve for all our residents.
My tribe welcomed, provided hospitality and sheltered the new settlers to Whakatu in 1842, offering “manaakitanga – showing respect, hospitality, generosity, reciprocation for care of flora, fauna and our environment”. Ratepayers and residents now, and into the future with children and grandchildren, want that manaakitanga to continue and be involved in the mantle of reciprocity with all contributing to decisions in our unique paradise.
The other day I thought, “When do I become a Kaumatua?” So I went to the Whakatu Marae to see the Kaumatua in their whare, introduce myself and explain the voting system. I met a kuia I had known for many years caring for her moko’s, moko. We spoke about my mum and dad and Korean movies because they showed respect for their elders. I met whaea Bobby who had cared for my daughter in kohanga many years ago and I proudly told her how strong she had become. We talked about how the marae was built on a landfill, the screams of seagulls that could be heard around Nelson. It was peaceful, warm, safe, like taking a moment to breathe. It made me realise, I am still holding my grandmothers skirt and have a long way to go before I become a Kaumatua.
My principal place of residence is in te Kaunihera o Whakatū rohe. I will be standing for the Whakatū Māori Ward.
A descendant of Te Ātiawa, I was raised in this region. I am a local boy with local interests. My experience over the past 25 years as a builder, businessman and artist has me well qualified to achieve our interests.
We need to make our city’s basic infrastructure more resilient to natural events that are going to become more common. You cannot bludgeon nature into submission, you have to work with her.
I look forward to Nelson City Council appointing a new Chief Executive, a new Mayor, Councillors and progressing “Shape Nelson”. Harvey Ruru wants to be appointed alongside them, to ensure the voice of people, people, people and mother nature.
My focus will be building relationships and lending my enthusiasm to be part of a unified community to make our city a vibrant and exciting place to live.

For the past six years I have owned my own business within the transport and tourism sector in Nelson. My background is in logistics and transport with the New Zealand Army. My time in the army has given me skills and knowledge that have served me well outside of the army, as well as giving me a sense of duty to one’s community. I feel now is the right time to put myself forward to do this as I am now able to give the time that is required to serve my community as a Councillor.
My focus will be on getting the job done for Nelson by promoting policies that make our community more sustainable, resilient and connected. This is where our future lies!

Former Iwi Liaison Officer with NZ Police, I am a Registered Comprehensive Nurse with many years in Maori/Iwi Politics and a Senior Anglican Priest, but minister to all whanau in our beautiful paradise.
My priorities: review how rates are set; spend on real needs; business wellbeing; strong public service; a thrust to make our city fun again post-Covid. After all, I’m a hospitality family business owner and association president. We need events, vibrancy, and effective marketing of Nelson to attract visitors; our agencies need to be working together on shared priorities.
People are hurting and struggling to pay their increasing rates bills. It’s essential rates are set at a level people can afford- stop wasteful spending. Council needs elected representatives who listen, are inclusive, and committed to working in your best interests.

I love Nelson, the people and the lifestyle. I have a strong business background having owned Stoke Cycle Centre for 20 of those years and organised the Rainbow Rage mountainbike event for many years.
After years of working with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), I came to NZ and have since worked with both the public and private sectors including the Department of Internal Affairs, ACC, Nelson City Council, NMDHB, Nelson-Tasman Hospice, NMIT, The Nelson Mail, and TSB Bank. I am standing for council as I have a combined 32 years work experience and skills across government, education, health, banking, business, currently social housing; and long-term volunteering and governance roles in the not-for-profit community sector. In 1994 I set up the foundations for the now Multicultural Council Nelson-Tasman and am still personally involved in growing the ethnic migrants and resettled (refugees) communities in Nelson. I continue to build strong relationships with our diverse communities. I ‘walk the talk’ of ‘nothing about us without us.’ I emphatically put my heart on the pulse of confronting challenges, including living costs, health, climate change and homelessness. Weaving diverse cultures together gives me a unique perspective to serve on NCC, transforming Nelson to the vibrant, innovative, inclusive, thriving place that values people’s well-being and unity in diversity.

I look forward to Nelson City Council appointing a new Chief Executive, a new Mayor, Councillors and progressing “Shape Nelson”. Harvey Ruru wants to be appointed alongside them, to ensure the voice of people, people, people and mother nature.
The council has an obligation to maintain all infrastructure, services and amenities to a high standard. I believe the Council needs to conduct itself with integrity to ensure the decisions are considered and balanced, to ensure Nelson continues to move forward in a progressive manner. I am 53, a proud mother, and grandmother to three wonderful grandchildren. My proudest moment as a soldier was being trusted to be the driver for Capt Charles Upham VC & Bar, New Zealand’s only double VC winner, in his last few years.
I offer common sense leadership and a desire to serve people. The ethos of public service needs strengthening. Ratepayers are customers, and I want to join a Council that listens to people and works cohesively. Uncertain times need unity, not division. I’m a grounded person from an industrial working-class background. I understand real life and real problems, not least through prison chaplaincy. I listen and reflect before I speak.

Kia Ora Whanau
A descendant of Te Ātiawa, I was raised in this region. I am a local boy with local interests. My experience over the past 25 years as a builder, businessman and artist has me well qualified to achieve our interests.
The other day I thought, “When do I become a Kaumatua?” So I went to the Whakatu Marae to see the Kaumatua in their whare, introduce myself and explain the voting system. I met a kuia I had known for many years caring for her moko’s, moko. We spoke about my mum and dad and Korean movies because they showed respect for their elders. I met whaea Bobby who had cared for my daughter in kohanga many years ago and I proudly told her how strong she had become. We talked about how the marae was built on a landfill, the screams of seagulls that could be heard around Nelson. It was peaceful, warm, safe, like taking a moment to breathe. It made me realise, I am still holding my grandmothers skirt and have a long way to go before I become a Kaumatua.

Former Iwi Liaison Officer with NZ Police, I am a Registered Comprehensive Nurse with many years in Maori/Iwi Politics and a Senior Anglican Priest, but minister to all whanau in our beautiful paradise.

After years of working with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), I came to NZ and have since worked with both the public and private sectors including the Department of Internal Affairs, ACC, Nelson City Council, NMDHB, Nelson-Tasman Hospice, NMIT, The Nelson Mail, and TSB Bank. I am standing for council as I have a combined 32 years work experience and skills across government, education, health, banking, business, currently social housing; and long-term volunteering and governance roles in the not-for-profit community sector. In 1994 I set up the foundations for the now Multicultural Council Nelson-Tasman and am still personally involved in growing the ethnic migrants and resettled (refugees) communities in Nelson. I continue to build strong relationships with our diverse communities. I ‘walk the talk’ of ‘nothing about us without us.’ I emphatically put my heart on the pulse of confronting challenges, including living costs, health, climate change and homelessness. Weaving diverse cultures together gives me a unique perspective to serve on NCC, transforming Nelson to the vibrant, innovative, inclusive, thriving place that values people’s well-being and unity in diversity.

I am a Justice of the Peace, and a practising athlete, artist and gallery owner. Council’s role is vital in bequeathing to our descendants a city and future they might thank us for. The devastation caused by the most recent flooding is a reminder that time is running out. The challenges are many and success will require urgency, imagination, and extraordinary leadership… from all of us.
My priorities: review how rates are set; spend on real needs; business wellbeing; strong public service; a thrust to make our city fun again post-Covid. After all, I’m a hospitality family business owner and association president. We need events, vibrancy, and effective marketing of Nelson to attract visitors; our agencies need to be working together on shared priorities.
Nelson has treated me kindly. Since resigning as head of Tokoroa High’s art department and returning in 1977 I have been privileged to repay that kindness as an MP, and a six term City Councillor, including four as committee chair. I have also served on numerous community organisations and chaired Arts Council Nelson, the Waimarama Community Gardens trust and my running clubs.
I am seeking another opportunity to work with council and the community to make Nelson one of the affordable, fun, prosperous, inclusive and sustainability role models the world so desperately needs.
I offer common sense leadership and a desire to serve people. The ethos of public service needs strengthening. Ratepayers are customers, and I want to join a Council that listens to people and works cohesively. Uncertain times need unity, not division. I’m a grounded person from an industrial working-class background. I understand real life and real problems, not least through prison chaplaincy. I listen and reflect before I speak.
Born in Nelson in 1961, and educated at Victory School and Nelson Boys College, Brent Harold Pahl has a deep understanding of the region and its Anneeds.automotive
engineer by trade, and a past business owner of both Nelson Mechanical Limited and Nelson Certification Services, Brent has also served as a committee member for the Nelson Hot Rod Club and the Nelson Drag Racing Association.
He has two children and two grandchildren who are all based in the region, and enjoys all that Nelson has to offer, having volunteered at Nelson Founders Park, the Founders Book Fair and Natureland Wildlife Centre.

I know how business and governance works. Recent tough times for business and families need a supportive council with joined-up thinking, reasonable rates, and sensible spending. Strong business economy drives successful community. I also want to see the lifeblood of Nelson restored, and resources used for what people want and need.
1. Keeping rates under control
With your support as an elected Nelson City Councillor, I commit to;
I am collaborative, active in the community, have good communication skills, and understand good leadership. I want to be part of a cohesive Council that develops strong partnerships with community groups, iwi, and business. As a father of three adult children I want to see opportunities and jobs for our young people, greater housing options in central Nelson, a healthy Maitai Valley, a vibrant city that attracts and retains talent, and the well-being of people and planet. Nelson Whakatū deserves an effective and affordable Council. Vote for me and I’ll work hard for the community so we can all move forward together.
I’m Matty Anderson. I’m proud to be nominated to stand as your Councillor. A committed Nelsonian, with a Niuean mother and a Pakeha father, I was born in Invercargill and raised in Auckland. After 20 years in the Navy, which included two peacekeeping duties, Nelson is home.

As the father of two teenage boys, I will advocate for the youth of Whakatū and for Nelson to be a great place for families to live.
As your Councillor, I will stay grounded and true to my community connections. I will continue to advocate and support those who need help.
3. Challenging the Three Waters structure in its current form
When we have customers and businesses by-passing Nelson to spend their money in Richmond then it’s clear something is broken.
Nelson Central is my place of residence. I am passionate about the opportunity to work for Nelson. Nelson City deserves driven councillors with real business skills and experience. People who think creatively, work to find the best solutions on every issue and who truly understand financial accountability. These are skills I have and would be privileged to bring to the table with my solid background in starting and developing businesses over the years. With experience in event hosting and organisation I am excited at the opportunity to bring vibrancy back into our city, enlivening and connecting all aspects of our community all year round.
4. Opening the lines of communication with the community again
Nelson city was once the hub of business and social activity for the Top of the South, but recently investment into infrastructure and business in Nelson has stalled and we now run the risk of slipping behind our Tasman neighbours.
The secret to creating an Energetic, Vibrant, Optimistic City is to attract Energetic, Vibrant, Optimistic People and we can only do this by creating an environment where opportunities are abundant.

BRING THE PEOPLE BACK ATTRACTION THROUGH OPPORTUNITY
I’m an eight-generation Nelsonian and I’m standing for Council to help shape a better future for all of us. I have a PhD in geology and run a successful science-focused business. My business experience and scientific background provide the skills needed around the Council table to address the complex issues facing our community, including rejuvenating the city centre, tackling climate change, delivering quality infrastructure, ensuring healthy rivers and nature, and moving to a sustainable and resilient economy.
Duty and service is in my bones. I’m not all words, I get things done.
I love this community; it’s been good to me. I have given back in a variety of voluntary and paid community roles, ranging from sitting on school boards to supporting the homeless, migrant families, vulnerable people and working for disability and peer support services.

Even when Auckland got their nose in front, Tasman battled back in the final few minutes, earning a late opportunity to get the job done. While set piece inaccuracy ultimately let them down, they can be satisfied that, long term, the Mako camp may have taken more away from this one than bonus points.

There is still some way to go, of course, with a lengthy list of “work-ons” to take care of. Among them is game composure, a must if you are to succeed in this penalty-ridden era of modern rugby. Poor exits, sloppy restarts and a shaky scrum are other areas that are in line to be improved, a lack of experienced game-callers in key positions often contribut ing to those shortcomings. Fortunately, those problem areas can be quickly remedied, espe

They had their chances to push further ahead, lack of the afore mentioned composure and an in ability to manipulate the constant flow of penalties their way letting them down.
