Roadworks continue on SH23 between Raglan and Hamilton from New Zealand Transport Agency

otorists travelling between Raglan and Hamilton are being advised to allow extra travel time as roadworks continue along State Highway 23 (SH23). NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is carrying out road rebuilding, resurfacing and slip repairs at several locations along the route, with work expected to continue through to midDecember. At the Greenslade Road intersection, work to remove and rebuild the existing road layers began on Monday 9 November, following earlier shoulder and drainage improvements. The rebuild is expected to continue until mid-December. Stop/go traffic management will operate 24 hours a day throughout the rebuild, with a temporary 30km/h speed limit remaining in place outside working hours. Motorists are advised to allow up to 10 minutes of additional travel time through the site. NZTA acknowledged reports of lengthy delays when traffic management was first introduced but said delays had reduced to under 10 minutes as of 4 November. Travel times will continue to be monitored, with adjustments made where necessary. Meanwhile, slip repairs began in early November on SH23 west of Whatawhata, with work expected to take up to four weeks. Stop/go traffic management will operate between 7am and 5pm while crews are on site. Further east, near Bowman Road, asphalt resurfacing is scheduled for the week of 29 November. The work will be carried out at night over approximately five shifts. NZTA said the works were being coordinated to minimise disruption for motorists, particularly regular commuters. Further resurfacing along SH23 is planned for early 2027, with locations and dates yet to be confirmed. All work is weather dependent, and dates may change if conditions are unsuitable. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, observe temporary speed limits and allow additional travel time throughout November and December. to plan your journey, visit www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz

Festive finds for Christmas giving

WITH ANEXA VETS

by Janine Jackson

Summer is here… Ahh-Choo!

kin is the body’s ‘barrier’ system and takes on all the daily wear and tear from nature itself. This is also the case for our pets, as they are commonly in direct contact with nature, i.e. long grass, and can often end up experiencing allergies, especially with the change in season. Summer goes hand in hand with allergies, i.e. hay fever and dry skin, and it’s easy to forget that our pets can experience these same issues. Different symptoms can be seen in pets, as allergies can affect the eyes, ears, paws and general skin. Direct contact with environmental allergens such as pollen, grass or dust mites often happens on a daily basis and can cause relentless itchiness, most commonly affecting the face, feet, ears, chest and tummy. Environmental allergies are managed with a combination of medications, medicated washes, environmental changes and diets that help support the skin. This will be tailored to your pet’s specific requirements. There are specific vet-only diets that can help support skin function and the natural barrier effect by providing a patented mix of - B vitamins and amino acids: Support the skin’s barrier function. - Turmeric, aloe vera, vitamin C and taurine: Improve natural defences and promote healing. - Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids: Reduce inflammation and improve waterproofing of the skin. Another issue to be aware of is the dreaded flea! Our pets can have sensitivities to fleas, which can develop into allergies causing serious skin disease and major irritation. Flea allergies can be quite severe. Even if you cannot see fleas on your pet, all it takes is one flea bite to set off a massive allergic reaction. Skin issues can vary widely. If you are concerned at all, do not hesitate to book a vet consultation. For further questions about fleas and how to manage them, have a chat with one of your clinic’s nurses for help.

ALL OVER

t’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre, with preparations underway for its much-loved Spirit of Christmas Exhibition. Now in its 13th year, the exhibition opens the gallery doors for some creative Christmas shopping, with unique handmade gifts and decorations from more than 20 local artisans. Browse ceramic treasures from Clay Shed members, glassworks, paintings, jewellery, textiles, garden art, quirky driftwood Christmas trees and more. With prices ranging from $5 to $500, there’s something for everyone’s Christmas stocking. Clay Shed member and exhibition curator Susanne GiessenPrinz says the exhibition is always a hit, and she's looking forward to showcasing work from a diverse range of local artists.

RAGLAN

“The exhibition gives local artists the opportunity to sell and showcase their work,” she says. “And it’s a great way to do all your Christmas shopping in one place.” As always, the event doubles as a fundraiser for the Old School Arts Centre, helping keep its doors open for the many creative and cultural activities that thrive there. Funds also help support the administration of Raglan Arts Weekend, Raglan Film Festival and Raglan Art to Wear. It’s a chance to find something special for Christmas while supporting the local arts community. Join the artists for fizz and cake at the Opening Night celebration on Friday, November 27, at 6pm. The exhibition runs daily from Saturday, November 28, to Saturday, December 12, 10am–4pm. It then continues as part of the Raglan Creative Market on Sunday, December 13, from 9am–2pm.

Boardwalk rebuild delayed by penguin nest discovery

Kristel at the south end of Ngarunui pointing out that penguins are nesting directly behind her - in the hollow of the tree roots - with a sign nearby urging beachgoers to "please keep dogs on leads".

The closed-off Ngarunui boardwalk to the beach where construction is now underway.

he discovery last week of a nesting pair of rare kororā or little blue penguins has paused work to rebuild the rotting Ngarunui boardwalk, one of the main accessways to the popular Raglan surf beach. Karioi Project co-founder and marine ecologist Kristel van Houte says that to give these little locals the peace and quiet they need, public access around the immediate nesting site has been restricted. “If you’re visiting the area, please keep your dog on a leash and well under control to help protect one of the world’s smallest penguins,” she urges locals and out-oftowners. Kristel says the contractors’ discovery of the nesting penguins “wasn’t really a surprise to us”. “We already knew penguins were around that area. We’d previously seen footprints there and had been finding penguins along this coastline for years.

“What we didn’t know was that the work was happening. Nobody had informed us that the boardwalk was being removed or that contractors would be digging in that area.” Against that the contractors were “really good about it”, she says, contacting DOC immediately. “Since then, DOC has been monitoring the situation, and we’ve also been keeping an eye on what’s happening. “Fortunately the young penguins looked quite mature and potentially close to fledging. It’s possible they were ready to leave their burrows and make their way to sea.” Kristel says the Karioi Project has been monitoring grey-faced petrels, or ōi, for more than 10 years now. “Over the years, we’d occasionally come across kororā using burrows previously occupied by ōi. Sometimes we’d find a penguin popping up in a burrow we’d been monitoring for grey-faced petrels. “We use a specially trained seabird detection dog to help us find burrows, and the

dog also picks up penguin burrows. Once you know what to look for, you can also find signs of penguins yourself, like footprints, guano (their poo) and nesting material.” Kristel says penguins are nesting in far more places along this coastline than people realise. “They’re incredible climbers and can scramble over rocks, up steep banks and surprisingly far into coastal vegetation. They’re tiny birds, weighing around a kilogram, but their climbing ability is quite amazing. “We’ve found them around Manu Bay, Half Moon Bay and in other places along the coastline, often underneath pōhutukawa trees and in areas where people wouldn’t expect them. “People can be sunbathing just metres away from an active penguin burrow and have absolutely no idea it’s there.” “We look for footprints, guano and other signs of activity to find burrows. But it’s not always easy because the sand is constantly

moving, and footprints can disappear with the tides.” She says it’s possible we’re seeing more penguins because their habitat is becoming safer as a result of predator control. Conversely one of the challenges along this coastline is the amount of erosion and movement of sand and sediment. “We’ve seen sections of cliff collapse, sometimes literally overnight, and burrows disappear.” Kororā generally begin returning to their breeding areas around May to July. They mate, lay their eggs and raise their chicks over the following months. Both parents share responsibility for raising the chicks and bringing back food. At this time of year, in November, some chicks are still being raised, while others have already fledged. Kristel says that unlike flying seabirds, young penguins have to walk down the beach to reach the sea.

Knowing the facts means better decisions Advertorial - IAWAI

inding the fairest way to split the costs of providing safe and reliable water services for households and businesses in Waikato District and Hamilton city, is a big question. How to fix the gap between what the community pays now and what it will cost IAWAI to meet government price and quality requirements is an even bigger one. But both those questions must be answered as IAWAI prepares its next Water Services Strategy for public consultation. Chief executive Peter Winder says public views need to be based on the reality of what IAWAI is facing for the communities it serves, and that means IAWAI needs to be clear and honest about what those issues are. This month we’re asking the community for its views through Help shape our water future, a short survey backed by plain information on the key issues and the decisions that need to be made. "It's not the formal consultation on WSS2 – that will come early next year – but it helps to start shaping up the options we have, and to share with the community the things we don't have a choice about," Winder said. In recent years, government has reformed the water sector, and the laws that manage it, to ensure water services deliver quality operation and supply, up-to-date maintenance and prudent investment for the future. Legislation requires water suppliers to ensure revenues are sufficient to meet those obligations. "We can't compromise on drinking water standards without putting public health at risk, and we can't compromise on wastewater standards without harming the Waikato River.

6 RAGLAN Chronicle

Along with our partners, we are committed to improving the health and vitality of the awa." Winder says most people don't know IAWAI is not only monitored by central government, it pays for the costs of that monitoring. "This year we'll pay almost $1.4 million to Government for oversight of our water quality and financial planning. That monitoring checks we are funding our community's services properly, and that we don't have wasteful expenditure or gold-plating." One of the core reasons Hamilton City and Waikato District Councils established IAWAI was to reduce the impacts of the cost increases necessary to meet the new requirements. "Our role is to plan, fund and deliver water services more efficiently than councils could on their own. But we know, right across the country, that water services investment in past years has not kept up with what's been needed. It's no different in our region. "That means there's two big issues we need to deal with – the charges to meet the current costs of the service, and the backlog of costs to catch up on. If we don’t, we risk compromising the quality of our drinking water and our environment. When you combine this with the need to invest for future growth and the rising costs we face, it means charges for services will need to rise next year, and in the years ahead. "Revenues have to rise, but there are choices to be made around how we split those costs and how we time the required increases in charges." Winder says he knows it is little comfort for households to know that rising costs are less than they would have been without IAWAI.

"Those rises will be less under IAWAI than if the councils were meeting the new requirements on their own, but it's still a hit for individuals, families and businesses. "Groceries, fuel, electricity and insurance have been rising fast. We get that, and we won't charge more than we need to, but the fact is we have no choice – water and wastewater charges will need to increase. "We're being blunt and honest about the issues because they affect all of us. "We have more than $200 million in maintenance that needs to be funded now, or we face water service failures in the years ahead. "In Hamilton, we have four years to move away from charging for water and wastewater based on the value of your house or property. Hamilton businesses have been paying a different (higher) rate than households, which effectively means residential charges have been subsidised. "Despite the price increases in the current year, our budgeted revenue from water and wastewater charges doesn't cover our budgeted costs. Across the whole region, growth isn't paying for the costs of the infrastructure it uses." These are complex issues and Winder says efficiencies and savings alone can't bridge the gap. "We're reducing the size of the charging increase needed through careful management of our costs and long-term efficiencies, but the fact is we will not find operating savings enough to fund the existing gap between water charges and our costs. "Even if every one of our staff worked for free, we wouldn't cover half the funding gap we face.

It’s easy to take water services for granted but the costs to deliver those services are climbing, and that means charges for water users need to rise. IAWAI is seeking community views as it plans to deal with increasing costs, new government requirements and a backlog of maintenance costs. "We launched this survey and supporting information to start the conversation. It's not the full consultation but it's a way to get some high-level views, explain what the real issues are and get people to sign up so they can be involved as we go. "We hope people take a few minutes to understand the facts and be involved in the big decisions we must make in the months ahead."

Circus cabaret truly a night to remember Images thanks to Amy Hanna

saucy night-time cabaret saw the refurbished Te Uku Hall transformed last weekend into a whole other world of circus, pole, and fire-dance artistry that captivated audiences with two high-energy, sellout performances. People came from near and far – one a tourist who booked from Canada on the advice of AI – turning out in the glamorous or vampy black, white and burgundy attire recommended for the themed adults-only show billed as ‘The Night Circus Cabaret’. The show promised magic, mystery, and “unforgettable” performances, and it didn’t disappoint. Certainly unforgettable! Some acts were daring and dangerous, like the fire-dancing and hold-your-breath-inducing pyrotechnics brought to the stage by husband-and-wife duo Lizzie and David. Others were positively risqué, like that of the captivating Mish Gogo who first contorted herself, catlike, into elegant poses over a simple hall chair, and later – ending the show on a high note, literally – delivering a breathtaking pole-dancing routine combining strength, flexibility and theatrical flair Then there was the athletic Devin who also performed aerial antics, on a pole swinging perilously out from the stage and over the top of those seated up front at tables of six.

Fortunately they’d been pre warned not to stand up for the duration of the act for fear of getting kicked in the head by a soaring acrobat. The tightly corseted, high-heeled Miss Lizzie – who orchestrated the 90-minute show from beginning to end – brought her own somewhat mischievous theatrical flair to the stage while keeping things rollicking along. Not only did she play with fire alongside hubby David, she also shed her shoes at one point, donned a strait-jacket – helped by a young gentleman in the audience – tossed the microphone aside and was hoisted upsidedown above the stage to ably perform her “Houdini with boobs” act, which was met with rapturous enthusiasm. • The annual cabaret is a highlight of Raglan’s Freedom2Fly Festival – now in its fourth year – celebrating contemporary circus, dance, aerial arts and street performance. Friday and Saturday night’s performances at Te Uku were followed by Sunday’s busking day in Bow St, and at the Old School’s creative market in Stewart St. • Student dance and circus showcases are to follow this weekend, featuring young protégés from Freedom2Fly’s professional aerial arts, dance and circus school in Bow St.

Keeping Waikato's garage doors running smoothly Advertorial

aglan Chronicle chats with Jamie from High Tech Automations about garage door repairs, servicing and why regular maintenance can save homeowners money in the long run. Hi Jamie, tell us a little about your business. High Tech Automations is based on Old Mountain Road, but we service the wider Waikato region – from Te Kauwhata to Te Kūiti, Raglan to Putāruru and everywhere in between. We specialise in the sales, servicing and repair of all types of garage doors. Most of my work involves repairs and maintenance, but I'm also increasingly installing replacement motors as older ones reach the end of their useful life. I carry new motors on board, which means I can often get things sorted on the spot. This year, I've also installed quite a few new roller doors for customers looking to upgrade.

What's your connection to Raglan? We've been repairing garage doors around Raglan for more than five years, and our workshop is based nearby. My favourite workdays are when I have jobs in Raglan. I get to grab something from the bakery and enjoy my lunch break by the sea! I just wish Raglan had more garage doors so I could come out more often! What do you enjoy most about your work? I really enjoy meeting people and helping them solve their garage door problems. It's always satisfying to be able to fix something and make someone's day a little easier. Most people don't really know we exist until something goes wrong with their garage door! What sets High Tech Automations apart? There are three things we're particularly proud of – affordability, expertise and responsiveness. We share premises with our sister business, Doorlink Plus, which specialises in

commercial and industrial doors and gates. This helps us keep our overheads low and pass those savings on to customers. We've managed to keep our prices the same for the past three years, despite rising costs. We also have a great team behind us. Through Doorlink Plus, I have access to 12 experienced door technicians and electricians who are just a phone call away if I need additional expertise. And we're responsive. We offer 24/7 emergency callouts, so if your garage door leaves you stuck, we're here to help. What's your top tip for looking after a garage door?

Service, service, service! Regular maintenance keeps your garage door operating smoothly and can prevent expensive repairs down the track. Correct spring tension is particularly important because it means your motor doesn't have to work harder than necessary. This helps extend the life of your garage door components, especially the motor. A little preventative maintenance can go a long way!

Raglan Theatre Academy brings a tale as old as time to the stage with Raglan Theatre Academy

ow in its 12th year, Raglan Theatre Academy gets set to enchant the community with a fresh take on the much loved French fairytale; Beauty and the Beast.

Villeneuve, while also incorporating some familiar characters from later adaptations. It is a timeless tale of courage, compassion and transformation, that reminds us that true beauty is not found in how we look, but in the choices that we make.

Taught and led by Ruthie, Raglan Theatre Academy offers a range of performing arts opportunities for youth from age 7-18 years, including weekly drama classes, screen acting and school holiday programmes. Its annual stage production is a highlight of the year, bringing together a large cast of performers from the production classes.

For Ruthie, choosing the annual production is a creative process, with plenty of room for imagination. ‘Once a story pesters me enough to be re-told, I love creating my version of a tale to suit my cast of nearly 70.’

Katie Parkes, 18 years old, and now in her graduate year says ‘it's such a supportive environment, and no one's judging you, no matter your skill level.’ She adds that ‘Over the years, it has really helped me build up my confidence around social situations, as an introvert, and without it I wouldn't be half the person I am today.’ This year’s production draws on inspiration from the story’s literary origins, first published in 1740 by French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de

8 RAGLAN Chronicle

Katie, who will be playing the part of Lumière, says 'My favourite part about being a part of Beauty and the Beast is how much fun it is to experiment with different accents and songs, as well as bonding with other actors in the cast!' This year’s production promises to be a magical experience for audiences of all ages. There will be 4 shows held over the weekend of Sat 28th - Sun 29th November. Head to www. raglantheatreacademy.co.nz to book your ticket now! Only limited door sales will be available.

Whāingaroa Weedbusters: Significant Natural Areas: What’s at Stake for Whāingaroa

Raglan Business Chamber Update

This monthly column is supported by Te Rekereke Taiao Trust through funding from Waikato Regional Council, helping share local knowledge, community action and practical advice around pest plant control and environmental restoration in Whāingaroa.

Left: Lorenzen bay gully restoration after Privet control, during planting. Right: Lorenzen bay Gully restoration 1 year after planting.

2017 Waikato Regional Council technical report has mapped the significant natural areas (SNA) remaining across the district, and the findings for our corner of the region - the Raglan Ecological District, part of the wider Western Hill Country and Coast zone.

Historically, the area around Raglan was blanketed in kauri-taraire-podocarpbroadleaf forest to the northwest, kauripodocarp forest to the northeast, and rimutawa forest further south, with kahikatea stands on the flood-prone flats. Because Raglan was relatively isolated, largescale clearance didn’t begin until the first Waipa-Raglan road opened in 1879. By 1995, only around 13% of original forest cover remained, and wetland habitat had shrunk to a fraction of a percent. Despite this loss, pockets of real ecological value persist. Mt Karioi, Whāingaroa Harbour’s margins, coastal cliffs, and a scattering of dune lakes provide habitat for threatened and atrisk species including pekapeka (longtailed bat), matuku hūrepo (Australasian

bittern), karearea (NZ bush falcon), kākā (North Island kaka), moho-pererū (banded rail), and several native fish and plants. District-wide, 71,312 hectares - 16.4% of the total land area - was identified as SNA, of which 61,292 hectares (almost 86%) is still indigenous vegetation. Only around 47% of that area is legally protected under statute or covenant, meaning over half sits on land with no formal protection, much of it in private ownership. Today, SNA rules sit within the Waikato District Plan’s “Ecosystems and Indigenous Biodiversity” chapter, which sets out what landowners can and can’t do within a mapped SNA. That chapter went through a hearing in 2020 and further appeals, but as of October 2025 the District Plan became operative in part, bringing most of the SNA provisions into effect, while a handful of site-specific appeals continue. Waikato Regional Council still sets the overarching significance criteria through the Regional Policy Statement, while Waikato District Council applies those criteria locally, maps sites, and

handles consents for anyone wanting to clear vegetation within a SNA. For landowners with an SNA on their property, there’s plenty that can be done without waiting on council processes: fencing bush, wetland or gully margins to keep stock out, controlling pests like possums, mustelids, and goats, and tackling weeds. Finally, limit vegetation clearance to retain habitat for native species. Waikato Regional Council’s biodiversity team, and local groups can all help with advice, funding, or fencing - often just a phone call away.

ith the greatest thanks to the people that have planned and delivered our most recent events. This month we introduced our first block of Training and Development Sessions led by Jami Dickson. The Board have been very keen to bring breakfasts back to our local business community; Business Breakfasts are a typical feature in other cities and towns but it took us a while to develop the right team and theme to activate this in Raglan. But Good -Things -Take -Time and our first breakfast was educative, collaborative, and delicious; keynotes were: - Claire from MSD - Nada from Groundswell Property - Emma from Matriarch Media Between them they covered the theme of ‘Is Your Business Summer Ready?’ recruitment, wages, digital media and so much more. A huge thanks to our keynotes and to Fiona Gates and the team at Harbour View Hotel for hosting our breakfast in their restaurant and going above and beyond to cater for our group with coffee, super juice, pastries, fruits, chia cups, chilli eggs and more. Thanks to Groundswell Property for sponsoring the event. Breakfast will be back…again

The event promises something for every kind of dog (and their humans!), with plenty of treats, activities and goodies to enjoy, with profits from the event going towards supporting HUHA (Helping U Help Animals) and its important animal welfare work. Dogs can put their skills to the test on the agility course, sniff out some tasty treats and toys at the dog shop, cool down with a delicious Doggy FroYo, and enjoy a photo

pring is here, Christmas is approaching, and it’s the season when adorable puppies start melting hearts. It’s easy to fall in love with that fluffy face and imagine the fun ahead. But before bringing one home, it’s worth pausing to think about the commitment (10-15 years or more) behind those puppy-dog eyes. Before falling in love, try to: Choose the right breed. Don’t just stop at what they look like (and we know it’s hard!). Behind that adorable face are strong genes that determine their behaviours and daily needs. Research things like temperament, behaviours (what they were bred for), grooming needs (often overlooked) and common health issues. Budget for a lifetime. Food, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, insurance, training, grooming, daycare and unexpected vet bills all add up. Bigger dogs will cost more for food, medication and supplements are usually priced on weight, and so on. Bigger cuddles = bigger price tag. Consider body and brain. Some dogs thrive on long adventures and challenging activities, while others are happier with gentler exercise. Every dog needs mental stimulation, socialisation, training and opportunities to sniff, chew, explore and rest. Behavioral challenges (such as destructive chewing, barking, or anxiety) often happen when a dog's natural breed instincts do not match its home environment - even one that’s full of love. Think beyond the puppy stage. Who will care for your dog when you work late, travel or go on holiday? Are you ready for toilet training, chewed shoes, sleepless nights and the daily patience required to raise a well-adjusted adult dog? Once you’ve done your research, consider adopting! Rescue organisations (like HUHA) often have puppies, as well as older dogs waiting for their second chance at a loving home. If you bring a puppy into your life, it comes ready to give you unconditional love and joy as long as it lives. By choosing carefully, you can be sure that you are the right human/s to receive it and they will have the best chance of a long, happy, fulfilled life with you.

opportunity to capture the day. There will also be prizes and plenty of opportunities for pats and making new friends. Humans can grab a coffee, browse the stalls and soak up the fun atmosphere while their furry companions enjoy their own special day out. So bring your favourite Floof, invite your dog-loving friends and come along for a morning of community spirit, happy dogs and plenty of wagging tails! Floofsters Doggy Daycare Saturday 14 Nov, 10am–1pm The Hut Cafe, Rangitahi Peninsula, Raglan Hosted by Floofsters Doggy Daycare
