The invitation for Te Kōpuru to join in the DIA’s Community Led Development scheme came late on Matariki weekend, as townsfolk gathered to celebrate what is, in Māori lore, a time of new beginnings. News that Minister of Internal Affairs Jan Tinetti had green-lit Te Kōpuru’s involvement was met with joy by community leaders, who had worked together for many months, as far back as the Covid-19 lockdowns, to make this happen.

“This is only the beginning of our journey,” said co-facilitator of the town’s application, Delwyn Hewson, part of the DIA team.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity and a pivotal moment,” says fellow supporter Roxanne Kelly. “I had some expertise dealing with applications on a smaller scale through my work with Sport Northland, which was very supportive of this initiative. We like to listen to communities and hear their aspirations, and that fits in well with the DIA’s plan.”

The process of being accepted, to access five years of mentoring, planning and extensive possible funding for prosocial, infrastructural, beautification and other civic projects was a painstaking one.

“It began with a series of hui, gathering in our civic leaders, such as those from our playcentre, school, churches, marae, fire brigade, hall committee and sports clubs,” says Roxanne. “Those leaders started to communicate, and we were able to ask, what have you guys already done and what do you want to do?”

p Te Kōpuru residents at a recent Matariki gathering hear the news that the town has been selected for five years of Department of Internal Affairs support and funding assistance

Part of putting together the application involved proving that a strong community spirit already existed, as the five years of support could achieve little without the drive and determination of people on the ground.

Roxanne and other civic leaders were able to cite community-funded projects such as the town’s 2019 playground build, current fundraising to improve the Te Kōpuru Domain, expansions to the local rugby club’s facilities, and the establishment of a ‘play trailer’ full of sporting gear, which now helps school across the region.

“Our projects don’t stop and our fundraising continues, including applications for other grants. For example, we’re applying to paint murals on the community’s boating club space, which

we’ve just used to host the town’s Matariki gathering,” says Roxanne.

Previous par ticipants in this programme with DIA have included the towns of Whirinaki, where massive environmental restoration of the local river was undertaken, the eastern suburbs of Dunedin and the central North Island settlement Mangakino. All the towns in the pilot programme reported positive outcomes and delivered projects that enhanced community engagement and enjoyment.

With the partnership now established, one of the next steps will be a gathering of Te Kōpuru residents to chart the kind of projects that could make the town a better place to live. This feedback from the community will inform the direction of future plans. ¢

Stay home if you’re sick

Locals’ winning ways

Mayor’s Message Kia ora, Big news in Kaipara is that Deputy Mayor Anna Curnow will not be seeking re-election at the upcoming Council elections. Anna has made a huge contribution to stable local government in Kaipara for nearly a decade and is widely known and popular across the district. As Mayor I have greatly valued her wisdom, experience and support. We’ve made a great team and, with both of us separately confirming neither will be seeking re-election, the increased opportunity for others to emerge to lead Kaipara District Council is now brought into focus.

Nominations for Mayor and Councillor positions open on 15 July and close on 12 August, and the postal elections will conclude on election day, 8 October.

For certain there will be new leaders then, but for now with fewer than 100 days remaining of the current council term there’s plenty going on: • The Annual Plan 2022/23 has been unanimously adopted by Council with the average general rates rise slashed from an earlier-forecast 7.13% to 4.86%. Few Councils across New Zealand have been able to slash the rates from what had been forecast in the way Kaipara has done. While the cost-of-living crisis bites, Council has taken hard decisions to help Kaipara people along in these challenging times. We’re still growing a better Kaipara, but tightening our belt to suit the times.

p “One hundred years back, my uncles, the Montgomery brothers, barged a church across the river from Aratapu to Mititai, where it became the All Saints Church on the Hill,” says Bill Hilliam. Many generations of locals related to the Montgomerys, who moved Mititai’s house of worship in 1922, attended a recent pre-centennial working bee to beautify the grounds. Montgomery cousins Bill Hilliam, Raewyn Robinson, Pauline Hilliam and Eva Hilliam were joined by their neighbours as they prepared the church for its 100th birthday.

Kaipara District Council does not support the proposed reforms and is a member of the Communities 4 Local Democracy group of 31 Councils from across New Zealand which is seeking a better approach to three waters reforms. C4LD has prepared a simple toolkit for anyone anywhere wanting to have their individual say, which can be found at www. communities4localdemocracy.co.nz/ demand-better. So, Kaipara people, here is your opportunity to have your say about Three Waters!

• SNAs (Significant Natural Areas) proposed rules are also open for submissions until 21 July, as part of the Proposed Indigenous Biodiversity National Policy Statement. This subject has been controversial and there were protests at neighbouring Far North District Council about this.

Students participated in art projects and got to know the cultural traditions of many lands during the weeklong celebration.

Te Kōpuru pushes play on park

Public survey says ‘reject Three Waters’

u by Andy Bryenton

u by Andy Bryenton

A new civic recreation hub for Te Kōpuru is one step closer, as backers of a park plan seek a development agreement and licence to occupy from council members.

A group of concerned Kaipara citizens have taken a survey of their fellow residents to gauge the depth of public feeling against Three Waters.

p Te Kōpuru’s domain is on track for further upgrades, following on from the successful installation of a playground and basketball court in 2019

T h e Te K ō p u r u C o m m u n i t y Development Group has taken its plans to the Kaipara District Council, seeking an official seal of approval on a scheme to transform part of the Te Kōpuru domain into a community park.

“The aim of the group is to have a staged approach to the development,” said KDC spokespeople Jenny Rooney and Fleur Denize in their report to elected members.

“The vision is that eventually, this would include a fitness pod, bike park, play area, fitness track, zip line, a threestage pump track for junior, intermediate and senior skill levels, landscaping, a shaded picnic area and additional play equipment.”

A substantial fundraising effort and grant application drive have seen $15,000 already secured for the fitness

pod, $14,000 for the concept plan and $30,000 for the pump track. The development group has also raised $7,000 through a variety of events and has engaged with the Community Led Fund held by Lotteries NZ. ‘The Te Kōpuru Communit y Development Group aims to provide the children, young people, and families of Te Kopuru a safe and fun community space to play and connect, as well as instil a community sense of pride and achievement by coming together to implement the vision that has been progressed for years’, reads the application placed before council members last week. A development agreement and licence to occupy, which is accepted by both parties, is expected to be drawn up and signed in the very near future. ¢

A presentation to the assembled mayor and councillors last Wednesday revealed a particular issue of contention that motivated many respondents.

The acceptance of the government’s proposed $16 million better off package — described by some councillors as a ‘bribe’.

“At the last council meeting, the mayor stated that 100 per cent of the feedback he had received on the better off package was to get the money and spend it well,” said petition presenter Alexandra Martin.

“The next step may be the complete centralisation of services and the abandonment of local government altogether. There is nothing in New Zealand legislation to stop this from happening.”

Ms Martin’s survey results stemmed from a two-week online poll which recorded 131 responses. In all, 127 of these were not in favour of taking the better off package.

Councillor Mark Vincent noted there was a difference between supporting Three Waters and accepting the better off package monies.

“There are two issues here. The desirability of Three Waters as proposed, and whether the council should accept the $16 million,” he said.

In prior debates, it was opined should Three Waters be mandated and enforced

p Councillor Mark Vincent cut to the core of the argument against Three Waters and the better off package, noting that accepting the ‘bribe’ does not mean wholehearted support for the mandate

by the government not taking the money would prove a hollow gesture to the detriment of the local ratepayer.

Mayor Jason Smith noted that the KDC was already a vocal and financially contributing part of the group of 31 councils opposing Three Waters. He urged concerned citizens to make a submission to the government before time runs out in mid-July. ¢

Annual plan voted in u by Andy Bryenton

The Kaipara District Council has voted to adopt the 2022– 2023 Annual Plan, heralding a 4.86 per cent rates rise, much less than initially predicted.

Mayor Dr Jason Smith noted the current ‘cost-of-living crisis’, and acknowledged this had been an important factor in the work to bring the rates increase down.

“The council has worked hard to hear the voices of the people. That awareness of the current economic situation and the flexibility of the council is reflected in this lower average general rates increase we have confirmed today.

“Kaipara District Council is making rates bills smaller than expected and is doing its bit to help Kaipara people along in these challenging times. These gains have been hard won but worth every cent. I am looking forward to the opportunities outlined in this Annual Plan, as we grow a better Kaipara. A detailed review was taken of all support costs proposed in year two of the LTP.

“The review covered the costs for items such as printing and stationery, vehicle running costs, training and travel expenses, subscriptions, support fees and consumables,” said the KDC’s strategic planning adviser Michaela Borich, and finance and risk manager Graeme Coleman, in their report to council ahead of the decision.

“As a result, savings of $440,000 were identified that could be made that will not impact on the council’s ability to deliver its services.”

Projects planned for the 2022–2023 year include the District Plan review, work on the Mangawhai Community Wastewater Scheme, construction of the Kaihu Valley Trail, upgrades to protect stopbanks between Dargaville and Te Kōpuru, the continuation of work on Mangawhai’s shared path network, and a body of climate change work.

Coastguard seeks Kaipara volunteers

Coastguard New Zealand is looking to boost its numbers and is asking people in the Kaipara region to step up and support kiwis on the water as part of Coastguard Rescue Vessel crew and shore crew in governance positions.

“Units across Aotearoa are looking for fresh faces to add new expertise, experience and passion all in the name of saving lives at sea,” says Coastguard NZ CEO Callum Gillespie.

In particular, Coastguard Kaipara, based in Helensville, is seeking new volunteers to become CRV crew and radio operators. Coastguard North Kaipara, based in Tinopai, is seeking to fill two governance positions within the unit as president and secretary.

“We provide all the extensive online and practical training that fits with your schedule and work commitments to bring you up to speed across both positions.”

Coastguard has launched a dedicated volunteer website, which celebrates the role that volunteers play on and off the water, with videos, bios and interviews to

“Volunteers are the lifeblood of Coastguard. From those who brave the wind and rain to save lives to those on shore who ensure finances are kept up-todate, and training modules are complete.

Every one of our 2,000 volunteers makes a difference in their community,” Gillespie said.

“We are delighted to welcome a new wave of volunteers bringing courage, care and commitment to supporting their units in continuing to serve their communities with pride and distinction on the water and in the air.

A second day of public protest highlighting the plight of Mangawhai and Pākiri’s sands is planned for July 10, as the legal fight over sand mining on the east coast goes into extra time.

The first big Save Our Sands (SOS) day in 2021 gathered hundreds of locals to form a human rescue message spelt out in giant letters on the seacoast. Since then, sand mining resource consents have been lined up in Auckland Council’s chambers, and the first of three has been denied.

“As our prior generation stood up to protect Mangawhai for our current generation, it is now upon us to stand up and protect Mangawhai for future generations,” says sand mining opponent and community organiser Ken Rayward.

“They have been taking thousands of tonnes of sand from this nonreplenishing resource for decades, and now the community, local iwi, our elected leaders and the people are saying enough is enough.”

With two resource consent hearings left to go, opponents of sand mining, which is conducted using a floating dredge vessel, have mustered a case which seeks to prove the environmental harm already inflicted. The first consent for deep-water mining was quashed earlier this year but may face an appeal. The final two relate to mining even closer to the shore.

p Mangawhai’s sand mining opposition is rallying on July 10 to highlight the ongoing fight to put an end to a practice which organiser Ken Rayward calls unsustainable and damaging

On July 10, at 10am, those who wish to see an end to sand mining off the east Kaipara coast are invited to gather for a second SOS day, highlighting the fact that the fight is not yet over. Kaipara District Mayor Jason Smith will be a keynote speaker and has reiterated his intent to personally attend the resource consent hearing in Auckland to voice his opposition. ¢

Winning mural could grace library u by Andy Bryenton

Dargaville artist Micaela van den Berg is one of just 10 mural designers chosen by paint company Resene to have their projects funded in a nationwide contest.

p Artist’s impression — the Dargaville library could be the new home of an award-winning mural design crafted by locals

Micaela’s proposed artwork is on a civic scale and would transform the facing of the Dargaville library with the image of a tūī against a colourful backdrop of flax flowers and stems. Resene, which orchestrated a New Zealand-wide naturethemed mural search early this year, picked the design as one of the top ten and will fund paint and materials to make it happen.

“I want this to be a community project, not just about one artist,” says Micaela, who also teaches art to young people in Dargaville.

“The library team is very excited about the possibility, and it would be visible to those travelling through the main street, adding colour and character. I wanted to get some of the young folks from my

class involved too, to help out, making this a real collaborative project everyone can enjoy.”

There is just one final hurdle to clear before the award-winning design can come to life; scaffolding. The sheer scale of the work means that safety comes first, and the tall walls of the library building call for scaffolding help.

Micaela says that while the Resene prize has been very generous, it does not cover this last factor, and she’s searching for a kind benefactor to provide scaffolding or a suitable scissor-lift platform, which could make the painting possible. Everything else is in place to commit the concept to its full-scale creation, brightening up Dargaville as part of the town’s makeover year. ¢

The murals were the first in a series of artworks, commissioned through Paparoa Connections, to create a sense of place throughout the village. They celebrate local landscapes and wildlife and are created by local artists. The new murals are funded through Council’s placemaking budget.

Last week Kaipara District Council Elected Members adopted the Annual Plan for 2022-2023, with an average general rates rise of 4.86 percent (excluding water charges, and allowing for 1 percent growth).

The Annual Plan for 2022-2023 comes into effect at the start of the financial year, with new rates taking effect from 1 July 2022. You can read the Annual Plan 2022-2023 at kaipara.govt.nz

Rescue needs support Five-year pest plan signed u by Amy Fifita

u by Paul Campbell

Happy Horse Sanctuary founder Tracy Croucher is looking for sponsors to help fund the care of the animals in her charge.

A five-year partnership has been formed between the Kiwi Coast Trust and Northland Regional Council aimed at protecting the environment and pest control in the region.

p Kaimanawa horse, Gabe, being hand-fed by Happy Horse Sanctuary founder Tracey Croucher

“I rode when I was younger, and when I married Martin, I told him my dream was to have a horse outside my bedroom window. He went looking for a rescue horse and found Nelson,” sanctuary founder Tracy says.

“Nelson was an ex-pacer who was saved from going to the meat works. We have five rescue horses, and the others are either retired or from when family situations have changed.

“It is a passion for me, and my husband is very accommodating. We are at our limit for numbers due to time and finances. We would love people to sponsor the horses or make donations.”

Four horses are accounted for via sponsorship, or their owners pay for care, and Tracy pays for nine.

“We have a self-contained unit that sponsors can stay at if they live outside of Dargaville. If a young person wants to volunteer their weekends to spend time with them, that is OK.” Tracy and Martin moved to Kaipara from Whangārei. They realised there was a need for care for older horses who could no longer perform; the horses range in age from 8–27 years old.

“Some just get left behind and we give them a place to live out their end days. We have a range of breeds — standardbreds, thoroughbreds, Kaimanawas and an Aupōuri Forest pony.

“More information can be found on our Facebook page HAPPY HORSE Sanctuary — it has our account number on it.” ¢

Jack Craw, who chairs the council’s Biosecurity and Biodiversity Working Party, says both parties wish to continue their successful relationship to ensure biodiversity gains made to date can be sustained and further amplified.

“KCT provides a regional platform of support and coordination of grassroots conser vation acros s p Northland Regional Council CEO Malcolm Nicolson (left), and Northland, and as part Kiwi Coast chair Mike Camm at the partnership signing of the partnership, the council will contribute $188,480 been trapped by groups and projects annually to Kiwi Coast over the next five involved in the Kiwi Coast during the last years,” he said. nine years.

“This will not only support the get involved in actively caring for their native forests and wildlife and link into continued revitalisation of Northland’s biodiversity, but also create new Kiwi Coast.”

Nation’s finest on four wheels u by Andy Bryenton

Action on four wheels dominated the dirt at Redhill recently, as the McFall Fuel North Island ATV Championship pitted riders and machines against a technical track.

“It’s the first time the Dargaville club has run this event, but feedback was positive that it was very well run, so it may become an annual event,” says Dargaville Motocross and ATV Club spokesperson Colin Rowse.

Riders took to the track to face a muddy surface loosened up by overnight rain.

However, this is just the kind of terrain in which powerful racing ATV quads thrive, and the competitors were soon recording fast lap times and achieving some big air off the jumps.

Racing was encompassed in a single day across six categories, with riders from around New Zealand coming to test their mettle against the Redhill track. Colin describes running an ATV event of this scale as a steep learning curve despite being very rewarding. He suggests that in future, a more leisurely two-day schedule may better fit the format.

Nevertheless, there were no complaints from the competitors at this major race meeting, who racked up impressive times on the course just outside of Te Kōpuru.

Auto trade working together

Winter is the time to take extra care with auto safety, says Morfett Autos owner Daniel Parkinson, speaking from the front lines of a busy time in the automotive industry.

With a team of four on deck taking care of WOF inspections, servicing, repairs and parts replacements, the Morfett’s workshop, like many in the Kaipara region, is a hive of activity at midwinter. That’s not just because supply chains are freeing up, allowing for a catch-up on two years of busy schedules. It’s also due to a wet and cold winter, less mild than those which have gone before.

“This time of year, it pays to listen for odd noises, rattles, creaks and things that make your vehicle feel not quite right,” says Daniel.

“Obviously the biggest issue of importance this time of year for safety is tyres and suspension, getting a grip on the road and staying in control. Noises and changes can hint at problems developing, and we’d like to book in a repair for those sooner rather than later.”

This isn’t just for the sake of safer driving, though this is a huge factor. It’s also because the ‘new normal’ in the auto trade means that it can take time for parts to arrive, and for even a large team of mechanics to have time to schedule more complex jobs. However, in this regard, Daniel says that Dargaville represents a good example of colleagues in the trade working together.

“Ever yone has their strengths and we tend to help each other out. Among the garages and auto specialists here, we have a lot of mutual respect. I think there’s a sense that while we are obviously all in business, the main thing is to have satisfied customers and safer roads.”

In addition of keeping a grip on winter roads, this can also mean looking at issues of visibility; wipers may need replacing if they are leaving a film on the glass, and headlight plastics can be refurbished to clarity p Auto mechanic Will Cutts takes care of a driveline as part of a busy schedule of midwinter safety checks, servicing again if they have become and upgrades dulled with age and wear, for example. Of course, one of the big jobs “It’s a bit like the weather; out of for winter is preventing breakdowns with anyone’s control,” says Daniel. “We’re pre-emptive servicing, as nobody wants to working very hard and of course we hate be left by the side of the road on a cold delays, but we’re urging people to plan winter’s night. ahead and be patient.”

While Covid-19 related delays are With that in mind, booking in advance receding and parts are flowing back in for some pre-emptive automotive care for most makes and models, there are and attention may be a better solution still delays across the trade, which mean than running the risk of needing instant repairs are largely impossible. emergency repairs. ¢
