“The Tinopai Volunteer Emergency Services Inc has resource consent for a base that will provide fire and rescue capability to the whole of the North Kaipara,” said president Walter Smith. “We cover right down to Pouto in the event of fire, as well as sea rescue over a wide area.” The emergency services
building will be located on land adjacent to the current marina at Tinopai, at an estimated cost of $160,000 excluding GST. “We expect to have a dedicated coastguard vessel in place from February so we are getting fundraising underway right now. The first event off the rank will be a ‘book and bake’ sale which
will be held at the Paparoa Hall next Saturday, August 20, from 9am to 2pm. There will be over 1,000 books on sale at great prices, as well as a well-stocked cake stall.” A wide range of fundraising activities is planned for coming months, as well as formal moves to secure grants toward the building project.
