The  local  KASM  and  Greenpeace  supporters  were  one  of  six  protest  groups  around  the  country  who  joined  Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  global  demonstration  Hands  Across  the  Sands  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  a  movement  which  spread  soon  after  BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  disastrous  oil  spill  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  two  years  ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  such  an  important  issue,â&#x20AC;?  said  longtime  Raglan  resident  Cynthia  Tucker,  one  of  the  many  to  add  her  support  to  a  cause  which  protest  organisers  point  out  has  huge  relevance  locally.   For  Raglan  people  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;twin  threatsâ&#x20AC;?  of  strip  mining  the  seabed  and  deep-­sea  oil  drilling  in  New  Zealand  waters,  KASMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Phil  McCabe  reminded  those  at  the  beach  on  Saturday  afternoon.  He  warned  of  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;big,  greedy  eyesâ&#x20AC;?  of  Trans-­Tasman  Resources,  a  Wellington-­ based  mining  company  which  has  extensive  foreign  shareholding  and  exclusive  rights  to  minerals  in  an  area  covering  10,000  square  kilometres  of  our  seabed. $OWKRXJK WKH FRPSDQ\ÂśV ÂżUVW application  is  for  an  area  not  directly  off  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  coast,  Phil  earlier  called  it  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;precedent-­settingâ&#x20AC;?  case  which  if  the  permit  is  granted  would  make  things  much  easier  for  subsequent  applications  both  by  TTR  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  which  wants  to  extract  four  billion  tonnes  of  concentrated  iron  ore  from  South  Taranaki  to  the  Kaipara  Harbour  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  other  foreign-­owned  mining  companies  which  have  rights  over  huge  areas  of  New  Zealand  waters.

Back  in  March  this  year  200  locals  turned  out  to  join  KASMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  silent  protest  on  the  one-­way  Raglan  West  bridge,  directed  at  TTRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  visiting  representative  Andrew  Sommerville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KASM  is  going  to  need  your  help  (again),â&#x20AC;?  Phil  told  Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  protest.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  need  really  loud,  broad  spectrum  opposition  to  this  proposal  or  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  happen.â&#x20AC;?      Edith  Symes

These  days  sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  clay  artist  with  more  than  a  touch  of  fantasy  to  her  creations  which  occupy  shelves,  dressers  and  tables  throughout  the  one-­time  shearing  shed  in  Waimaunga  Road  on  the  foothills  of  Mt  Karioi.

The  stereotypical  red  shed  has  retained  its  rustic  appeal  in  the  makeover,  with  old  pens  and  a  sheep  race  still  visible.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  worked  at  keeping  it  shed-­like,â&#x20AC;?  says  Susan.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  gutted  and  rebuilt  with  secondhand  materials  from  the  dump  and  a  donated  kitchen.  Susan  sleeps  in  the  large  open-­plan  space,  surrounded  by  art  and  craft,  and  relishes  the  expansive  environment  outside  her  own  doors  and  windows.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  like  space,â&#x20AC;?  she  admits.

That  core  group  of  nine  are  now  gearing  up  for  another  exhibition,  their  third  in  six  years.   Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  entitled  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Milestones  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  Journeys  in  Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  and  is  set  to  open  in  late  October.

Then  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  annual  summer  school  to  look  forward  to,  which  in  January  this  year  saw  students  construct  an  outside  sandcastle  kiln  which  became  a  fairytale  Ă&#x20AC;DPH FDVWOH ZKHQ LJQLWHG DQG LV QRZ slowly  â&#x20AC;&#x153;dissolvingâ&#x20AC;?  away.

Food waste collection trial kicks off A  trial  collection  of  food  waste  for  100  households  in  Raglan  has  been  launched  this  week  by  Waikato  District  Council  contractor  Xtreme  Waste.

The  Raglan  households  in  the  trial  will  have  a  separate  bin  for  food  waste  such  as  meat,  dairy  and  vegetable  scraps,  which  will  be  processed  at  the  Raglan  Recycle  Centre  and  Transfer  Station  using  composting  and  worm-­farming  systems.  This  will  create  a  rich  garden  fertiliser  which  is  expected  to  be  available  for  sale  to  the  public  later  this  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  encouraging  the  Raglan Â

households  who  are  involved  in  this  trial  to  support  the  Xtreme  Waste  initiative,â&#x20AC;?  Water  and  Facilities  general  manager  Richard  Bax  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  great  way  that  the  council  and  the  community  can  work  together  to  lower  the  amount  of  rubbish  that  JRHV LQWR ODQGÂżOOV ´ 0U %D[ VDLG The  council  will  be  monitoring  the  six  month  trial  to  see  if  a  permanent  organic  waste  collection  service  is  viable  for  both  Raglan  and  the  wider  district.

The  trial  is  being  funded  by  the  council,  Xtreme  Waste  and  the  Waste  Minimisation  Fund.

Residents present case for change Last  week  Waikato  District  Council  (WDC)  heard  5  residents  of  Whaingaroa  tell  them  that,  if  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  expand  the  area  covered  by  Raglan  Community  Board  (RCB),  then  it  should  include  Te  Uku,  Te  Mata  and  all  of  the  Waitetuna  and  Cogswell  Valley  areas.  As  part  of  its  6  yearly  Representation  Review  WDC  had  proposed  an  extension  of  the  RCB  area,  but  excluding  those  centres.

Whaingaroa  Environmental  Defence  (WED)  said  that  there  should  also  be  separate  representation  on  RCB  for  the  town  and  country  areas.  WED  drew  attention  to  Thames  Coromandel,  where  council  is  delegating  most  of  its  powers  to  community  boards  as  has  been  done  in  Southland  and  other  areas Â

for  some  time.  Functions  delegated  elsewhere  include  Sewage,  Reserves,  /LEUDULHV $LU¿HOGV &HPHWHULHV Transport,  Strategic  Planning,  Economic  Development  and  Bylaws.  WED  believes  that  this  will  be  more  democratic  and  waste  fewer  rates.

Mayor  Allan  Sanson  questioned  whether  community  board  areas  could  be  divided  with  members  representing  VSHFLÂżF DUHDV &KLHI ([HFXWLYH *DYLQ Ion  assured  him  that  was  provided  for  in  the  Local  Government  Act.  Newcastle  Ward  councillor,  Noel  Smith,  said  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  spoken  to  local  iwi  who  welcomed  the  inclusion  of  Waitetuna  in  his  ward,  rather  than  Raglan  ward.

Council  will  publicise  its  decisions  on  the  submissions  on  9  August  and  appeals  to  the  Local  Government  Commission  can  be  made  by  10  September.      John  Lawson

On  Monday  the  6th  of  August  2012  the  covers  were  pulled  off  the  new  Raglan  Wharf  building.  7KH EXLOGLQJ ZDV RIÂżFLDOO\ opened  by  the  Waikato  District  Council.  This  represents  the  successful  completion  of  rebuilding  after  the  original  historic  wharf  EXLOGLQJ FDXJKW ÂżUH DQG EXUQW down  in  the  morning  of  April  13,  2010.  The  focus  now  moves  from  project  delivery  to  securing  suitable  tenants  for  the  completed  building.  Vaughan  Heslop,  a  specialist  commercial  property  agent  with  Lodge  real  estate,  will  handle  the  marketing  of  the  building  for  lease.  Talking  about  the  building  Vaughan  commented,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  it  is  fantastic  that  the  rebuild  has  been  topical  amongst  members  of  the  community.

The  fact  that  it  has  been  so Â

widely  discussed  shows  the  value  of  this  property  in  the  heart  of  the  community.   This  is  such  an  incredible  setting  with  the  water  providing  a  unique  and  beautiful  backdrop.  It  is  important  we  do  the  marketing  well.  We  are  mindful  of  ensuring  that  we  get  the  appropriate  mix  of  tenants  in  the  property.  If  this  means  it  takes  a  little  longer  to  lease,  then  we  are  comfortable  with  this  to  ensure  ongoing  success  for  the  property  and  the  community.â&#x20AC;?  Up  to  six  spaces  are  available  to  lease  ranging  from  34sqm  up  to  170sqm  and  tenants  may  choose  an  appropriate  size  or  combination  of  several.  Already  the  property  has  a  large  anchor  tenant  and  there  have  been  solid  enquires.  The  zoning  SURYLGHV Ă&#x20AC;H[LELOLW\ RQ VXLWDEOH uses  and  could  allow  retailers  or  RIÂżFH XVHUV KRVSLWDOLW\ DQG WRXULVP operators  along  with  many  other  industries.

Final Proposal For Representation Arrangements For The 2013 Local Elections

2. Extend the Ngaruawahia Ward boundary to incorporate Waikeri Marae.

Decision Having considered all of the submissions the Council resolved to adopt its initial proposal as the Council’s final proposal, subject to the following amendment: The existing Raglan Ward boundary is extended to incorporate the area along the Raglan deviation.

The Council considers that the boundary changes are appropriate for the following reasons: t The revised Raglan Ward boundary better reflects the communities of interest for surrounding areas with Raglan. t Inclusion of the Raglan deviation in the Raglan Ward is a physical barrier that better defines the area.

The Council rejected the other matters raised in submissions for the following reasons:

Public Notices

Raglan Community Board Boundary t The council considered that extending the Raglan Community Board boundary would dilute the role of the Ward Councillor in the rural area and that the concerns of submitters were best dealt with outside the representation review process (through a review of delegations, for example).

RAGLAN RESTORATION Decks, fences, doors, rotting weatherboards, easing windows, small additions, alterations, etc.

Subdivision of the Raglan Community Board t This related predominantly to further extension of the Community Board boundary and as this was not planned to proceed, the need for subdivision was no longer valid.

Specialising in the smaller jobs GOOD REFS GREAT RATES

Ph Jason: 022 635 0914 raglanrestoration@gmail.com

Increased representation at the Community Board level t This request related predominantly to further expansion of the Community Board boundary and as this was not planned to proceed, the reason for increased Community Board representation was no longer valid.

Taupiri Community Board t Representation of Taupiri could not be adequately achieved through extending the Ngaruawahia Community Board boundary and undertaking a logical subdivision. t The council is also aware that the proposal was not supported by the Taupiri Community Board.

Extend the Ngaruawahia Community Board Boundary t The council did not consider that the submission on this matter was representative of the community views. t The council considered that the matter could best be considered during the preparation of a Structure Plan for the area during 2013.

Extend the Ngaruawahia Ward Boundary t The position around the community of interest for Waikeri Marae was unclear and the council considered that this matter could best be considered during the preparation of a structure plan for the area during 2013.

Onewhero-Tuakau Community Board t The council did not support extending the community board boundary as the submitter did not provide evidence that residents in the area support this approach. The council received no submissions from residents in the area on this matter. t Amalgamate the Existing Onewhero and Awaroa ki Tuakau Wards t The council considered that the Waikato River was a logical geographical boundary that separated the two areas. t Amalgamating the two existing wards would require re-drafting of the remaining ward structure and this has not been consulted on with the public.

Incorporate Port Waikato in the Awaroa ki Tuakau Ward t The council considered that the Waikato River was a logical geographical boundary that separated Port Waikato from the Awaroa ki Tuakau Ward. t The proposed change did not comply with the fair representation requirements of the Local Electoral Act. Additional Council Representation t Most submissions did not support additional Council representation. t The council did not support Councillors being elected at large as this was supported by only one submitter.

Reduction in Council Representation t Only one submission proposed a reduction in the number of councillors outlined in the initial proposal.

This submission did not provide evidence to convince the council this would result in better representation for the community. The vast size of the district and the range of options previously considered convinced the council to retain the same number of councillors as the initial proposal.

Proposal for fewer wards with multiple Councillors t The nature of the District is such that the council was unable to identify an option that addressed communities of interest, fair representation for the rural community and effective representation for all within a smaller number of wards.

Appeals and objections Any person who made a submission on the Council’s initial proposal may lodge an appeal against the Council’s decision. An appeal must relate to the matters raised in that person’s submission.

Any person who objects to the final proposal may lodge an objection to the Council’s final proposal. Any objection must identify the matters to which the objection relates.

Appeals and objections must be made in writing.

Appeals and objections are to be forwarded to the Corporate Planner Waikato District Council, 15 Galileo Street, Ngaruawahia, Private Bag 544, fax 07 8248091, or email corporateplanner@waidc.govt.nz and must be received by the Council no later than Friday 7 September 2012.

Any queries regarding the Council’s decision should be directed to the Corporate Planner by phone 07 8245770 or email corporateplanner@waidc.govt.nz
