Cheery face of Raglan childcare has seen generations come and grow

by Edith Symes community, and for the support shown to “our” tamariki. “If anyone asks for help, it’s there,” Anne reckons. And people notice if you need help and will be there for you too, she adds.

It does indeed take a village to raise a child, she believes.

The only downside of her teaching career, Anne says, has been the endless paperwork needed to fulfill educational requirements. “You have to stand on your head to meet Government regulations,” she says, when it’s the actual nurturing of “our tamariki” which should matter most.

Anne has missed in recent years the putting together of each child’s portfolio – an individual collection of their work and observations that document learning and development over time. That work is now all online, and the children have had to get the tablet out to see it, Anne explains, as there’s no computer “on the floor”.

Treaty Principles Bill voted down

by Toitū Whaingaroa

O

n April 10th 2025 the Coalition government’s ‘Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill’ was finally voted out by a margin of 112 votes to 11. The introduction of the Bill on November 7, 2024 saw the youngest Member of Parliament, MP for Hauraki-Waikato, HanaRāwhiti Maipi-Clarke rip up a copy of the Bill. Viewed by millions around the world, Hana-Rāwhiti is seen as an inspiration to indigenous peoples globally, particularly young indigenous women.

Submissions on the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill opened on November 19th. Facebook, Instagram and TikTok feeds were filled with submission writing workshops and drop-in sessions, resources, and information. The message was clear – everyone, no matter how old or young, needed to submit on this Bill.

Over 300,000 submissions were received, and 90% opposed the Bill.

Historian Vincent O’Malley talked about how “Te Tiriti o Waitangi was signed between the Crown and various rangatira Māori on behalf of their people. It was agreed in a particular context – one in which 80,000 Māori outnumbered and dominated the 2000 non-Māori resident in these islands not just demographically, but also militarily, economically, and culturally”. The group Asians Supporting Tino Rangatiratanga emphasised “Aotearoa can only flourish if all of us work towards upholding and honouring He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni and Te Tiriti o Waitangi”, and the importance of Te Tiriti education to ensuring those coming to Aotearoa understand a more truthful history of our country.

Toitū Whaingaroa were lucky enough to be allocated time to make an oral submission. We asked the Select Committee to “imagine the conversations we could have and the dreams we could

realise as a nation when we understood not only our past, but how Te Tiriti lays the pathway for our collective flourishing futures in Aotearoa”.

Michelle Levy from Toitū Whaingaroa was part of the hīkoi arriving to Parliament on November 19th . She recalls a moment that stuck with her from that day.

“I was sitting outside the train station in the afternoon. Parliament grounds had been left spotless. Central Wellington was still buzzing. A wahine looked at me as she walked past. She had her tino rangatiratanga flag draped across her shoulders. She said something to me that summed up what so many of us felt in that moment – ‘I wish this day would never end’ ’’.

Whether you took part in hīkoi; delivered, organised or attended submission writing workshops or dropin sessions; shared links, information and handy hints; talked with whānau; or put stickers on your cars and placards on your fences – every single action mattered.

Although this Bill is gone, the work is far from over. The intent to remove or exclude Te Tiriti o Waitangi from legislation and policy continues. Here in Whaingaroa, Raglan Naturally have recently hosted, alongside Dr Ingrid Huygens from Tangata Tiriti-Treaty People, a training opportunity for those in our community who have a passion for continuing to ignite Te Tiriti focused kōrero and action across our community.

Keep a look out for activations focused on the upcoming referendum on Māori Wards (September/October this year).

To keep updated join the Toitū Whaingaroa Facebook Group. Toitū te Tiriti! *Toitū Whaingaroa, part of Raglan Naturally, recognises that achieving the flourishing partnership relationship aspired to in Te Tiriti o Waitangi requires learning and sharing. We have a focus educating, creating and activating; we seek to ignite not only thinking, but action!

Waitetuna teen sets sights on Karioi Classic success

by Edith Symes

Y

oung Waitetuna cyclist Cory Hartgill is “definitely” looking forward to the return in July of the Karioi Classic, and reckons he’s in it to win.

Chances are – given his history – he could do just that.

Because at 19 years old Cory already has three Karioi Classics behind him, with a couple of medals to show for it. He was in fact one of the event’s youngest riders back in 2018 when still at Waitetuna Primary School, and is keen now to go hard out at senior level.

Fair to say this event – and another he entered the same year at Raglan Area School – played a big part in inspiring Cory to become the serious cyclist he is today, competing both nationally and, back in March, at the Oceania Mountain Bike Championships held at Coronet Peak in Queenstown.

Before that, in February, it was the Mountain Bike National Championships at Redwoods Forest Park in Rotorua, while last

month saw Cory turn out to the Anzac Day Cycling Festival in Cambridge.

Last weekend Cory was just about impossible to track down for an interview because he was competing at the two-day Te Awamutu Tour out of Goodwood School in Cambridge – leaving home at 6.30 each day and not getting back till around five at night.

If it sounds like a punishing schedule, it is.

Cory trains “around the (Waitetuna) valley” both before and after work as a builders’ apprentice in Hamilton, and competes most weekends at events of some sort.

But he says nothing compares with racing locally, as in your own backyard. Cory’s now gearing up for the long 85km grind around the mountain on his new high-performance, hi-tech Cervelo gravel bike, and aiming for a three-hour finish.

He gave the circuit a go recently to test himself one wet and windy weekend,

taking a “pretty cruisy” three-and-a-half hours to complete the distance. That was okay, he reckons, as it was more of a “low watts training” exercise used for building endurance.

On the day he’ll be aiming for “maximum effort”, as per coaching guidelines.

The young go-getter – born and bred at Waitetuna – went on from his first Karioi Classic at the age of 12 to become captain of Hamilton Boys’ High School cycling team, and has for the last few years been a sponsored cyclist. He’s proud to have been able to compete all over the country, and do well, through that sponsorship and out of his own pocket.

The Te Awamutu Tour Cory competed in this month was serious stuff – riding for cash.

It’s part of the career plan, he explains. Ever since those early successes he’s been geared to a cycling career.

With building as a “back-up” of course.

“But I’ve always thought it would be pretty sick to ride your bike and get paid for it,” he divulges.

CORY’S KARIOI CLASSIC TIPS: •

Focus on enough fluid and nutrition to minimise the likelihood of getting cramp towards the end.

•

Don’t be afraid to invest in a good helmet; it has saved me a few times.

•

Wear appropriate gear for the weather conditions.

•

Make sure your bike is in a safe and functional condition.

Showcasing Shelley Rikys and her photography at the iHub

By Liz Yorston. Photography Shelley Rikys - News from the Whāingaroa Raglan Destination Management Organisation (WRDMO)

S

helley Rikys, a talented photographer, is among the artists featured at Raglan’s iHub. Her work captures the distinctive landscapes of Raglan, reflecting her connection and enjoyment of local settings. Beyond her photography, Shelley is also known for her commitment to community service.

Raised on a farm north of Raglan, she has called Raglan her home for approximately 17 years. Shelley initially worked in rural banking for 36 years, commuting to Hamilton. Her transition into community service began over a decade ago when she began volunteering with Hato Hone St John.

She started covering night shifts to ensure that no one worked alone and eventually became a permanent member of the team - after qualifying as an immediate first responder and later an emergency medical technician.

Four years ago, Shelley made the decision to transition to ambulance work full-time.

In addition to her front-line work as an ambulance officer, Shelley contributes to the strategic direction of local health services as Secretary for the Raglan Hato Hone St John Area Committee. The committee oversees the maintenance of the local station and coordinates health initiatives and fundraising efforts. Shelley is also an instructor for the "Three Steps for Life" programme, an initiative aimed at empowering community

members with life-saving skills such as CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) usage. These trained individuals can become initial first responders in an emergency, equipped with the skills that could save somebody's life in those critical first moments.

Alongside her work in the community, Shelley has nurtured her enthusiasm for photography. Her interest began during a personal trip around the lower North Island, where she began documenting her experiences through images. What began as a comprehensive Facebook catalogue of her pit-stops, shared with family and friends, soon became a wider spread passion for photography that she could share with her local community and visitors to the area.

Throughout the COVID-19 lockdowns, Shelley found inspiration in her local environment. She dedicated time each day to

Head to the Raglan Old School Arts Centre on Wednesday, May 21 at 6pm for a film festival activation event.

locals to filmmaking and the number of young filmmakers entering has increased over the years.

“We are keen to hear how we can continue to grow the festival and we’re particularly interested in someone who has ideas about supporting our young creatives.”

The next film festival runs in May 2026 and the team are looking at hosting filmmaking workshops later this year.

walking along Raglan’s coastline at low tide, capturing the natural beauty of the landscape, and sharing her photographs to uplift community morale.

Encouraged by friends and fellow landscape enthusiasts, Shelley began producing calendars featuring her photography. These calendars, now an annual tradition, have become appreciated keepsakes for friends, locals, and visitors to Raglan. Her portfolio has since expanded; you will now find her signature morning light and coastal scenes on postcards, greeting cards, wall hangings, and even fridge magnets.

Despite her growing following, Shelley prefers to keep photography as a joyful hobby, free from commercial pressures. She values creative freedom and finds her true love of photography is in capturing spontaneous and meaningful moments.

"People have asked why I don't go professional," Shelley explains. "But I don’t want the pressure of people telling me how to take a photo. The joy would go out of it, and I've got to have the joy, or there's no pleasure in it." This dedication ensures that her work remains both genuine and impactful.

Shelley's photographic collections are available at the Raglan iHub, where you will find her latest depictions of the Raglan landscape on a variety of keepsake items.

They make excellent gifts or mementos of visits to Raglan and the surrounding coastline.

More information about Shelley’s work and other iHub activities can be found at www. raglanihub.nz or through their Facebook page @raglanihub.

Boom summer season of Bowls draws to a close from Raglan Bowling Club

T

he summer season of bowls has now been completed with the final two open tournaments and all club championships and Twilight bowls having all been contested and winners crowned.

Twilight Bowls finished with a flourish on March 11 with up to 90 people enjoying the friendliness of this fun event. Winners for a record fourth time were Pirates comprising three wily Te Mata lads Phil Shea, Terry Wright and Dave Robertson.

The event is generously sponsored

by Top Cut Butchery.

The Club's signature open tournament, the Western 1000 Opt 4's, was contested by 28 teams representing twelve clubs from throughout the Waikato on Thursday March 28th. This year's winners were the Kevin Quinton skipped Claudelands team of Bill Barwood, Dave Campbell and lead George Davidson. The event first contested in 2005 is renowned for having the best prize money in the Waikato thanks to the long term support of Fresh Choice Raglan, Seddon Park Funeral Home, and Chris Leuthart - PGG Wrightson Livestock.

The club's last open tournament for the summer season was the Ladies Theme Day held on Monday April 7th. This year the theme was the letter Q with most players in fancy dress with lots of Queen Bees buzzing around the green, a Mrs Quirky looking bemused, but the winning entry was Kath Gray from Beerescourt bowling club who was dressed in full Qantas pilot’s uniform. The event sponsored by Hilda Ross Retirement Village was played as drawn pairs with the winning combination being our own Suzanne McGarvey who teamed up with Raewyn Booking from Frankton Junction Bowling Club.

On the club scene, it has been back to back championship events with healthy numbers vying to get their names engraved on the many prestigious trophies.

The under 5 singles was played on February 22. The men’s section

was won by Mike Kiely who only just squeaked past Ian Latham in the first round 20 to 18; he was then very dominant finally beating Malcom Hunia 21 to 9 in the final.

Hunia in his first year had accounted for more fancied opponents John Robertson, Stephen Hand and Colin Hawkins on his way to the final. Bev McDavitt Whyte showed her class to take out the women’s section.

A new championship event, the mixed 2 x 4 x 2, was held on March 15 and was convincingly won by Bill King and Pim Blair.

The following week on March 22 saw the men’s and women’s pairs played; there were upsets galore in the men’s event with defending champions Colin Bouzaid and Peter Puschmann eliminated after being beaten by both Stephen Hand and Colin Hawkins and then by Bill King and Norm Burnand. This allowed wily veterans Ross Turner and Les Schlager to wind back the clock to win for the first time since triumphing in 2013 and 2014.

Turner actually won his first pairs title back in 1982 and is arguably still the best player in the club.

The ladies section was taken out by Sue Kingi and Kathryn Fitzgibbon who were in hot form and edged out the more fancied Wahanga / McDavitt Whyte combination.

March 29 and it was the under 5 pairs turn to shine. There were some amazingly close contests before newbies Norm Burnand and Bill King were crowned men’s champions and Genny McLeod and another first year player Anne Burnand joined her husband Norm on the honours board in the ladies section. Both Norm and Anne Burnand only started playing bowls at our club's funday last November and have made huge strides ability wise and as valued club members.

The final championship event for the season was the triples on April 12; the experienced and talented combination of Colin Burnand, Peter Puschmann and Ross Turner were simply too good in winning the men’s section. The win gave Turner, in his 47th year of bowls, three championships for

Men’s pairs winners Ross Turner and Les Schlager.

the season following earlier wins in the pairs and fours.

The ladies section went to the Bev McDavitt Whyte skipped team of Genny McLeod and Maws Wahanga.

Another popular event on the club’s calendar is the Rangitahi closed tournament for club members only.

This is a free day including sumptuous lunch, with every player receiving a prize. It is made possible by the ongoing support from the Peacocke family. The day commenced with a $50 spider where players surround the green and have to get their bowl closest to a $50 note pinned to the centre of the green. Barry Dalbeth showed his accuracy to grab the money. The actual tournament consists of three games of 10 ends with the Colin Bouzaid, Barry Dalbeth and Ian Latham combination being the only three winners to win the coveted Rangitahi trophy. The day concluded with a fun quiz.

The final summer event was the vet singles on April 26; this is played in two sets of seven ends with a tie break if sets are split and so it proved in the final.

John Vati had been in imperious form and met Gavin Crowley in the final. Vati took the first set and was leading the second set when the rain came and changed the pace of the green. Crowley adapted better taking the second set and dominated the tie break to take the title.

The club now looks forward to their four winter open tournaments but of course still has rollups every Wednesday and Saturday to which anyone is welcome to come and join in.

aglan’s young surfers delivered standout performances at the 2025 Sequence Surf Shop Gisborne Junior Pro, with Theo Morse claiming a decisive win in the Under 18 Boys final.

Held at Kaiaua Bay, the prestigious comp drew top junior talent from across Aotearoa.

Despite changing conditions, Whāingaroa surfers impressed with style, power and composure.

Morse dominated the Under 18 final with highimpact surfing and sharp rail work, edging out fierce competition to take the title. “It’s always Theo Morse (left) claimed the Under 18 Boys title at the 2025 Sequence special representing Raglan and getting a result like this,” he said.

In the Under 14s, Jaxon Pardoe scored an 8.5 ride—the highest in his division—earning him a $100 prize and fourth place overall. Madeline Smith took third in the Under 14 Girls, also winning best manoeuvre for her division. Alani Morse placed third in the Under 16 Girls after a strong early run.

From podium finishes to breakout rides, Raglan’s junior surfers proved they’re a force on the national stage.

With talent and determination on full display, the next generation from Whāingaroa is clearly on the rise.

Opinion: The Surafend Massacre

by Gillian Marie. Colonial Historian emphasises heroism and can spill into a glorification of war.

Wars in Ukraine and Sudan remind us this ANZAC Day that unfortunately war is still not seen as an outmoded and inhumane way of doing politics. The Israeli genocide taking place in Gaza further demonstrates the toll of military action which collectively punishes civilians. With the aid blockade, starvation and dehydration are weapons of its occupation. Plans are underway to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians with the complicity of the US and most Western countries, including our own government.

Perhaps Western countries’ lack of empathy for the Palestinians goes back to New Zealand and Allied troops at the the racist attitudes that some New Zealand village of Surafend'. Source: Alan Hall soldiers took with them in their kit bags Collection, WW100. to Palestinian WWI battlefields. We need n ANZAC Day we recall the to remember that these were the sons and horrors of wars, honouring grandsons of those who had fought against both combatants and civilians killed. Māori in the New Zealand colonial land wars that included massacres. ANZAC troops Money was donated for the broken exwere emboldened with these same attitudes soldiers who lived with their memories of Anglo-Saxon supremacy and the belief of the terrors experienced in WWI and that the British Empire was ‘God’s kingdom WWII. Some of our fathers refused on earth’. ANZAC troops fought in Egypt to participate in ANZAC Day, calling (occupied by the British) and Palestine. Few it ‘nationalist jingoism’. Now those New Zealanders are aware of the Surafend returned soldiers from those wars massacre of Palestinians that took place after are no longer here to remind us of the the war ended. Military historians, including reality of war. It has become a day that the historian of the NZ Defence Force, John

O

Crawford, consider the Surafend massacre in December 1918 was ‘without doubt at all by far the worst war crime committed by New Zealand military personnel.’

Arab soldiers from 1916 fought alongside the British and ANZAC troops against the Ottoman Empire in the Arabian Peninsula, the Sinai, Palestine and Syria with ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. Their motivation: to overthrow the Ottoman Turks, and Britain’s promise of an independent Greater Arabia state when the Turkish forces were defeated. At the end of the war, however, France and Britain between them carved up much of the Middle East, Britain breaking its promise for independence. Britain’s Balfour Declaration in 1917 led to the creation of the Israeli state in 1948, and the Nakba, the expulsion of Palestinians from their land.

Arabs had reason to resent the ANZAC presence in their lands. Britain occupied Egypt since 1882. During the battles for Sinai, Egyptians resented being forced to dig trenches and build roads for the ANZACs. Hundreds of Sinai Bedouin near the Suez Canal were imprisoned in wire cages. Years later, a NZ soldier, Edward O’Brien, reported that Bedouin were shot ‘on sight’ in the desert.

The Allied soldiers also stole their stock and trampled their crops. Bedouin retaliated by theft of supplies.

Returning to the Surafend massacre: On December 10, 1918, a NZ Mounted Rifles soldier’s kit bag was stolen from his tent.

Leslie Lowry ran after the culprit, who shot and killed him. Although facts are sketchy, the ANZAC troops assumed — without evidence — that an unknown Bedouin in a village close by was guilty. About two hundred New Zealand, Australian and Scottish troops — coordinated, it is believed, by the New Zealanders — set off with bayonets, pick handles and iron bars. They surrounded the village of Surafend al-Amar, took the women and children into the surrounding desert, and ruthlessly beat and massacred all the men — somewhere between 40 and 120 — then burnt down the village. They then attacked and killed all the men at El Cara, Richon, a Bedouin camp nearby. They then returned to their camp. When their commander, General Allenby, attempted to investigate, he could find no one who would admit to the attack and called them ‘cowards and murderers’.

Under no circumstances is targeting civilians acceptable in warfare. Edward O’Brien, in an interview in 1988, broke the silence, acknowledging that he was an eyewitness to this ‘shameful’ act — a stain on the ANZAC tradition. No one was ever held accountable and no apology was ever given to the people of Surafend.

LEST WE FORGET all who lost their lives in war.

Opinion: ANZAC cemetery and the people who cared - lest we forget

by Zaeem Baksh (PhD)

C

emeteries, graveyards, urupa are universally regarded as sacrosanct; an integral part of cultures, a piece of land imbued with a people’s enduring connection with the spirit, the soul, the very presence of the departed loved ones.

Indeed, a cemetery is profoundly a religious, a spiritual area of land that honours the dead. A cemetery is a temple, not only of love, but also a place of

peace and tranquillity, of remembrance, recollection, reminiscence. The cemetery, the urupa, helps keep our loved ones, our honoured ones spiritually alive. They are not forgotten; will not be forgotten.

There is a small cemetery in a small village in Palestine Gaza; a small piece of land that was gifted by the people of Palestine to ANZAC. This small cemetery is home to 23 soldiers from New Zealand.

This gift of land to ANZAC, this piece of Palestine, this cemetery has been, over

the last one hundred years, tended by the people of Palestine. Children with their grandmothers and grandfathers would mow the lawn, plant little flowers and water them (when some extra water was available). Young Palestinian women and men would prune the shrubs and shady olive trees.

care-givers of the ANZAC cemetery would bow their heads and whisper a prayer.

Today that ANZAC cemetery lies in ruins, utter ruins – bombed and bulldozed, graveyards carelessly dug-up; this small piece of land set aflame, burned by Israhell. And the children and mothers and fathers, and their elderly have stopped visiting this cemetery – for they too have been bombed and burned. Dead!

Desecration! Desecration of ANZAC cemetery in And, at the end of their tasks, as the Gaza Palestine. Not just the desecration of one or two scorching red-orange sun gently set gravestones, but desecration of the entire cemetery beyond the Mediterranean Sea, these – a piece of land gifted by the people of Palestine to ANZAC. And while we march up and down our streets on ANZAC day, singing hymns, blowing trumpets and bugles, making heart-rending speeches, spare a thought for Palestinian people who gifted this small piece of land; whisper a prayer in your hearts for the children who tended the lawn and watered the flowers in ANZAC Cemetery.

Whilst the NZ government and its army of bureaucrats and officialdom apparently follow their silent ‘scheme’ of Best We Forget...

We the people of Aotearoa New Zealand quietly contemplate the gift of land to ANZAC soldiers. We spare a thought for the Palestinian people who have, over the last 100 years, sacrificed, given selfless care to this sacrosanct ground in Palestine Remember, Lest We Forget. Maumahara, maumahara i nga wa katoa. Maumahara.

Bumpy roads, bigger bills: Raglan faces hard choices as Council’s LTP deadline looms this content was procided thanks to Raglan Community Radio - more at 98.1fm or raglanradio.com

P

otholes, rising rates and big infrastructure bills are all on the table as Raglan residents consider Waikato District Council’s Long Term Plan - and the clock is ticking.

With public consultation closing on Saturday 11 May, locals have just days left to weigh in on how much they're willing to pay to maintain and improve essential services from rural roads to water systems, libraries and long-standing community goals like a swimming pool.

“There’s real frustration out in places like Ruapuke and Te Papatapu,” says Whāingaroa Ward Councillor Lisa Thomson. “The roads are in bad shape and people want to know what Council’s doing about it. But better maintenance means more money - and that comes from rates.”

Roading: Stick with the Status Quo, or Pay for Better?

Council is offering two options for road maintenance: maintain current service levels, or increase investment for more frequent line marking, pothole repairs and vegetation control. The catch? Higher rates.

“We’re still getting some support from Waka Kotahi,” Lisa says, “but not enough to lift the standard without dipping into rates.

It’s a balancing act - and people need to tell us what they want.”

Recently, local frustration spilled over onto social media. “Even last night, there was a post that was put up about the condition of Te Papatapu Road, and it did look pretty terrible, to be honest,” says Lisa.

At the same time, she encourages residents to report issues through official channels like the Antenno app or Council’s service request page. “Posting on Facebook won’t cut it,” she says. “Service requests help us build a case. It’s how we track problem areas and contractor performance.”

Meanwhile, at the national level, central government is prioritising big-ticket projects like Roads of National Significance - but not small-town repairs. As a result, rural communities like Raglan are left with fewer options unless they agree to pay more themselves.

Your Rates Are Going Up – Here’s Why Lisa says the proposed 4.25% general rates increase is just the beginning. Many urban households will also see significant hikes from targeted rates for services like food waste collection, wastewater and the wider Three Waters provision.

“For those of us in town,” she says, “the targeted wastewater rate is actually bigger than the general rate.”

On average, ratepayers could be looking at an annual increase of around $500, though this will vary based on property value and which services are received.

A major driver of these increases is the government’s directive for councils to upgrade water infrastructure, particularly around quality and wastewater discharge standards. “We’ve been told to fix our water systems – and that’s exactly what we’re doing. But it’s expensive,” says Lisa.

For a detailed breakdown of how water-related charges are projected to rise - including projections that wastewater charges could double over the next decade - residents can read the Raglan Community

Radio article tracking the long-term cost impacts of reform.

Big Flush: A New Era for Wastewater in Raglan Raglan’s new wastewater treatment plant is nearly complete - a major milestone in the town’s shift away from harbour discharge.

“It’s a massive step forward,” Lisa says.

“We’ve never had a proper treatment plant before.”

Next up is transitioning to land-based discharge at Wainui Reserve. Soil testing and planning are underway to meet stricter environmental standards and improve harbour health. The broader programme also includes upgrading the Wallis St pump station and building a second water reservoir for firefighting and future growth.

Water Services: What Happens After Watercare?

Currently, Raglan’s water services are managed by Watercare, which is owned by Auckland Council but contracted to serve Waikato District. That contract ends in 2028, and Council is asking residents to consider what comes next.

The preferred option is forming a Council-Controlled Organisation (CCO) with Hamilton City Council. Under this model, the two councils would jointly own and oversee a new entity responsible for water delivery - keeping assets in public hands while allowing shared oversight.

“We’ve had Watercare for years, so the idea of shared services isn’t new,” Lisa says.

“But this is about finding a local solution that works – and we need feedback to get it right.”

You can read more via Council’s water services consultation page.

Libraries, Laps and Local Voices Also in the plan are modest but meaningful upgrades to Raglan Library, including air conditioning and carpark improvements.

“It’s more than books. It’s free internet, a warm space, a place to go during storms or outages. During last year’s power cuts, the place was full of people working,” Lisa says. “We’ve talked about cutting hours to save money but honestly, that would be a real loss.”

Sporting Future on the Horizon Council is also reviewing future needs for sports fields and indoor facilities across Whāingaroa. A formal proposal is expected later in 2024, following strong public feedback.

“It’s clearly top of mind,” Lisa says. “Our job now is to figure out what’s realistic and how we might fund it.”

Want Change? Speak Up Before 11 May Lisa says now is the moment for locals to have their say - not just about roads and rates, but also about water, waste and future community assets.

She’s confirmed she’ll stand again in this October’s local elections and encourages others to consider it too.

“If you’re thinking about running for Council or the Community Board, get in touch. I’m happy to kōrero about what’s involved.”

Pickleball picks up in Raglan

A

group of Raglan locals gathered on the Rangitahi half court on Friday 26 April to give pickleball a go – and discovered a shared love for the fast-growing sport.

Sixteen people turned up for the informal session, including two family groups and a mix of residents who had never met before.

Participants ranged in age and ability, with 82-year-old Bev Hanifan teaming up with her 12-year-old granddaughter Amelia Hanifan for a fun multi-generational rally in the autumn sun.

“It was a lot of fun,” said one organiser.

“None of us had met before, but everyone got stuck in. It was a great way to connect with others and get moving.”

The group plans to meet again and hopes to grow interest further. There’s also talk

of approaching Rangitahi or the Council to explore options for a dedicated space to play – possibly even getting pickleball court lines marked alongside the existing basketball court.

To build momentum, a Pickleball Muster has been organised to find others keen to play and help establish a regular community fixture.

We would like to notify you that on Sunday 27 July 2025, the Karioi Classic cycling event will pass by your land or property between 8am and 2pm.

To safeguard our competitors, there will be a soft road closure in place on these roads for that time being.

This means that local residents can still drive on those roads but only with race direction, NOT against race direction. (Race direction is clockwise) If you need to be on one of these roads during the event, may we please ask you to drive very carefully and give way to all cyclists.

May we also ask you to make sure dogs are kept within the boundary of your property.

If you need more information, please feel free to contact : Lisa Thomson : 021 1798256

Dirk De Ruysscher : 021 2380818 Thank you for your support.
