From Linda, Raewyn, and Andrew.
In the last 4 weeks, Raglan Police has received 81 reports, including:
• 21 x Family Harm incidents,
• 16 x Dishonesty Offending includes Theft (6), Shoplifting (3), Fraud (2), Burglary (3), Unlawfully Takes Motor Vehicle (1), Aggravated Robbery (1),
• 7 x Traffic incidents including crashes, driving complaints, sustained loss of traction (burnouts),
• 3 x Drink Driving offences,
• 1 x Water Rescues,
• 6 x Assaults, including serious injury and Aggravated Assaults,
• Lots of Found Property handed into the station. If you’ve lost something, come down and see if we have it here at the station.
Not quite sure what the reason is for the upsurge in criminal offending lately but we are certainly noticing the increase.
We all know it’s happening and most of us want it stopped. We need you to help us stop this behaviour. It will take buy-in from you, the community, as a whole, and from Police. Firstly we need you to ring 111 when the burnouts are happening. If you ring each and every time you hear or see this happening, it won’t take long for our supervisors to see the extent of this problem we have here in Raglan. This may encourage them to provide more coverage. The other reason we need these incidents reported is that there may be a Police unit in Raglan at the time it is occurring, even during the wee night hours. Units from out of town and the Impairment Unit (Booze Bus) often come out to patrol at night while you’re tucked up asleep.
Sustained Loss of Traction (commonly known as burnouts) is increasing again in frequency. The black tyre marks can be seen all around the streets in town, out on SH23 and out at Wainui Reserve. This is not a victim-less offence. People have been seriously hurt as spectators, drivers, passengers, and annoyed residents. Nearby residents are woken by the noise of the burnouts while they hope and pray that some out of control car doesn’t come through their fence or house and hurt their family.

To be able to impound a vehicle for Sustained Loss of Traction, we have to have evidence of offending - a cell phone recording of a vehicle doing burnouts, or a vehicle registration number and a statement from someone saying they saw a vehicle performing burnouts. Going onto the Noticeboard FB page and moaning about the vehicles doing burnouts is not evidence.
If these incidents, and others, don’t get reported, how are we supposed to know they are happening? Don’t assume someone else will call 111, YOU call 111. It doesn’t matter if we get 10 calls about the same incident –in fact that would be awesome as it will show the community has had a guts full of these drivers and their antics.
Let’s all get in together to make our town a safe town for everyone.
It may be out the back of beyond but picturesque organic flower farm Moa Stone Estate, in the foothills of Mt Karioi, is growing into quite the destination these days.
The rural Te Mata business-cum-tourist attraction – which has just launched its own website – offers everything from lotus flower tea tastings and ‘sip & stroll’ tours around its flourishing gardens right through to a small “venue” for intimate functions and a rustic cabin for luxury stay-overs.
A recent celebration on site marked the fruition of the Cornes Rd venture, which
has been in the making since 2015 but open to the public less than four years.
Champagne was popped at the Sunday afternoon occasion for family and friends, the website went live and guests got to take in stunning views from the newly built venue and the boutique off-grid accommodation facing Mt Karioi.
“Experience the flower farm,” boasts Moa Stone Estate’s website, a sentiment echoed by Mika Field and partner Josh Cornes who together have created this place they call paradise.
The enterprising couple have more than 300 varieties of flowers and foliage thriving on a two-acre plot of fertile, family land.
Josh grew up here on the farm, his ‘number eight wire’ experience in engineering and construction put to good use building the rimu walls and floors of the new cabin, and the long table and barstools in the adjacent venue.
Mika – with a passion for flowers inherited from her mother while growing up in the Netherlands – does everything from growing and selling blooms to drying and transforming them into bath-salts and other botanicals for the shop. She uses the likes of eucalyptus oil from the aromatic trees planted back in 2016 when her idea of creating Moa Stone Estate was still in its infancy.
She now has floral workshops on offer along with guided ‘sip & stroll’ tours through the flower farm. Visitors can choose between having a rose or French sparkling wine in hand, she says, or opt for the lotus flower tea experience. They might also like to pick their favourite blooms from the gardens full of proteas, orchids, lotus flowers, water lilies and more to take home in a bouquet.
“We can cater for every occasion,” promises Mika with her larger-than-life personality. “We want to be part of your celebrations.”
Meantime, the land itself has a unique history from which the estate’s name derives. A treasure trove of moa stones was unearthed during site excavations, Mika told the Chronicle. And some of the gemstones are New Zealand opals, on display in the shop.
Moa Stone Estate’s website explains how the now-extinct moas ate stones to help them digest their food, and while in their gizzard these stones developed a polished effect – tiny remnants of which are preserved in the ground.
It’s an archaeological background that of course vastly pre-dates the arrival in European settler times of the Cornes who’ve farmed here since 1850. Now their own family history is attached to the land, with Clem and Margaret Cornes having farmed this beef-raising property for decades as did Clem’s parents, grandparents and great-grandparents before them.
“It’s fantastic seeing the business developed,” Margaret – now 54 years on the farm and looking forward to what’s to come – told those gathered at the Moa Stone Estate celebration.

Local Councillor Lisa Thompson joins us in the studio to celebrate the successful completion of the wharf project, a collaborative effort between the Council, hapū, and the community. Funding for the project was sourced from the central government's Provincial Growth Fund and Better Off funding schemes. Two weeks ago, the project was officially inaugurated with a karakia and the unveiling of Simon te Wheoro's stunning sculpture, 'Pa Kahawai.'
In further exciting news, Simon's artistic talents have garnered him a prestigious invitation to showcase his work at a sculpture event in Norway, where he will represent a unique cultural perspective alongside eight other selected artists.
Lisa also shares that preparations are underway for an Indigenous Film Festival, slated for Matariki, which will feature an exhibition showcasing Simon's work among others.
Draft Annual Plan 24/25
The council is currently considering a significant 13.75% rates increase for the upcoming fiscal year. Community
engagement has revealed a strong desire to prioritise essential projects such as stormwater management and road maintenance over non-urgent initiatives. While the draft plan is nearing completion, Lisa and the other councillors will again embark on more fiscal planning with the Long-Term Plan process beginning in July.
Lisa mentions that valuations have also been delayed, exacerbating issues for budget planning and rate changes for the Long-Term Plan.
Councillors unanimously back Māori Wards
During a recent meeting, councillors unanimously agreed that they do not support the disestablishment of Māori wards and strongly oppose any forthcoming bill from the central government on this matter.
The council firmly believes in the value that Māori boards bring to decision-making processes, emphasising the diversity they bring to the table and the positive relationships they foster with hapu across the district.
Previously, if voters disagreed with the council's decision to establish Māori Wards, they had the option to challenge it through a poll. Only 5% of those in the electorate were required to overturn the council's decision. However, this provision was removed in
Let's explore what this means for ourselves and our work and continue to bring the Treaty to life for our community.
Raglan Naturally is hosting two ‘Tangata Tiriti - Treaty People’ workshops this year. Carol Henry and Kit Buckley will facilitate these workshops and we highly recommend these learning opportunities.
The workshops will run on:
Saturday, 15th June 9am - 4:30pm, Raglan
Wednesday, 31st July 9am - 4:30pm, Raglan
2021. This change allowed councils, such as the Waikato District Council, to establish Māori wards without the possibility of them being challenged through a poll.
With several parliamentary bills being fasttracked through the new government, Lisa says it’s important to keep an eye out for any submission opportunities for bills like the Māori Wards bill.
Discussions also touched upon civil defence and management plans. The council announced plans to present the community plan at the next community board meeting for approval. This plan aims to coordinate community efforts and resources for effective management during emergencies or crises.
Issues like generator maintenance can be cumbersome with the need for regular upkeep to ensure functionality during emergencies.
Lisa says that by working together as a community, we can pool our resources for an effective response strategy.
The council reported finalising and signing off on a housing strategy aimed at addressing housing challenges in the district. Lisa recognises that it’s a basic human right to access housing and the strategy focuses
on enabling housing options that are safe, healthy, and affordable for all community members. Implementation plans include leveraging council resources, partnerships with government agencies, and communityled development initiatives.
“It's a complicated beast, and there's no one-size-fits-all. But I'm really pleased that we've got our strategy. Our vision for housing is that everyone in our community has access to a home that is safe, healthy, and affordable.”
Transport Strategy and Future Planning
Plans for a workshop on the draft transport strategy for Raglan have been announced, underscoring the need to address future transportation challenges, including population growth projections and infrastructure development.
Concerns have been raised regarding the lack of corridor studies for State Highway 23, highlighting the need for comprehensive planning to accommodate future traffic demands and maintain alternate transport options during emergencies (such as the closure of SH23 following Cyclone Gabrielle.)
With populations projected to double in the next 50 years, there is currently no plan to upgrade SH23 to accommodate growth.

As the RAW team prepares for the 14th annual Raglan Arts Weekend event, the home fires are being lit for the newly established platform dedicated to emerging artists in the Whaingaroa community, The Hatch.
According to Caleb Osborne, who is managing The Hatch for its second year running, “The Hatch shines a light on the diverse and skilled emerging artists we have in the Whaingaroa community, providing a platform and guidance around the exhibition and promotion of creative works.”
There are only 15 spaces available for this opportunity and applications for The Hatch 2024 close in just over a week on the 31st of May. Interested artists should head to the RAW web site and look under ‘Emerging Artists’ for the application details which specify the simple entry requirements and how to apply. Artists will not require a large body of work either, with the focus on quality at a manageable level for each artist.
The importance of this project, as Caleb says, “helps to break down barriers that emerging artists can experience, not only through providing an exhibition platform but also connecting with the creative community, sharing skills and experience and exposing artists’ work to a diverse audience.”
Nicky Brzeska, RAW Coordinator adds: “We had a brilliant response from our sponsors, community, and RAW event attendees last year, with around 1500 visitors including gallery owners and members of the arts community within the Waikato and beyond. We’ve seen opportunities arise for some of The Hatch 2023 artists, which has been a strong endorsement of the work it took to pull The Hatch off in its inaugural year and testament to the calibre of artists in Raglan.”
Two of RAW’s former ‘Hatchlings’, Zasha Skye and Eliza Adams, have now migrated from The Hatch into the main RAW event for 2024.
This year Zasha will be exhibiting at Wabi Sabi, as well as holding her own opening night before RAW kicks off. “Being a part of The Hatch Exhibition Opening with 14 other artists is a great opportunity,” says Zasha.
“With such a diverse profile of artists, it guarantees a new audience who might never have interacted with your work before. I found The Hatch provided the perfect space to showcase work in, especially if it is your first time being a part of RAW and you are
unsure where Raglan might hold space for you.”
Eliza Adams will be exhibiting in the Town Hall supper room, just adjacent to The Hatch, alongside her mother Loesje de Bree who has been a huge inspiration with her paintings and sculpture, and flax weaver Marianne Ashchenbrennar. “The Hatch offered such good support and advice in the lead up, helped create connections with other ‘Hatchlings’ and definitely eased my nerves. They even helped with set up and pack down
now migrated into the main event for
as well as processing sales. I couldn’t have asked for much more,” she adds.
A massive shout out to the team at Rangitahi Peninsula for their generous support of this event, the Waikato District Council-Creative Communities Scheme, Waikato Society of Arts and the Whaingaroa community for helping put wind in The Hatch’s sails. Application details can be found on www. raglanartsweekend.nz. Any questions can be sent to Caleb on rawemergingartist@outlook. co.nz
Aspiring and experienced writers have the chance to spend a few days learning and working with some of the best in the business.
Planned for the three days of King’s Birthday Weekend on 1-3 June, Come Together – being held at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre – features a series of workshops and presentations from awardwinning authors, poets and publishers, which aim to encourage others with their writing, whether it’s poetry, fiction, non-fiction or fantasy.
Saturday morning, award-winning poet, writer and senior lecturer in creative writing, Siobhan Harvey, presents “Character Traits”, a workshop which will have participants thinking deeply about characters and learning different ways to bring them to life on the page.
In the afternoon writer/publisher Ann Neville, and Tina Shaw – editor of the Bateman New Zealand Writer’s Handbook – will discuss the publishing process, along with the differences between independent and mainstream publishing, before two hours dedicated to writing in “The Writing Room”. This will be followed by drinks and nibbles with workshop attendees and presenters, and a short film.

What’s in a game? Winning and losing. But mainly, it’s the taking part! We have heard amazing news from the Sealions who are sucking goals out of the opposition, consistently for the last three weeks. GO SEALIONS.
And then there is the annihilation taking place elsewhere in the Club. But how awesome that our players are having the capacity to stay on the pitch and keep pushing through in the face of adversity. To re-tie their laces, look at their teammates, drive the ball up the pitch, and sneak a goal in before the whistle blows!
Football is such a watchable sport and a lot of us have hoarse voices after a sunny Saturday of
screaming from the sidelines. I heard a visiting parent say, “Wow what great support they have down here,” so well done Raglan whānau for turning out to support the players.
This week we loved the opposition player of the day from Te Awamutu, and the sportsmanship at the end of the match by some of our ‘fun-football’ juniors.
The Raglan Junior Rugby Club would like to introduce two 11th Grade Black players, Koby Maihi and Grayson Francis. The team has had a great start to the season, and they would like to give a big thanks to Direct Tech for their awesome support and sponsorship.

Koby: I like the left wing. Grayson: First five.
What do you enjoy about Rugby?
Koby: It's a great sport and I enjoy tackling. Grayson: I enjoy all of it. Being able to play sport with my friends
What do you find challenging?
Koby: The tackling of other players can be a challenge at times. Grayson: Keeping up with my fitness.
How is the season going so far?
Koby: Good. Grayson: I’ve really only played 1 game, but it's going well.
What is your goal for your rugby experience?
Koby: To score 3 tries in one game! Grayson: To play for the All Blacks!
What supporters of your team would you like to thank?
We would like to thank our awesome coaches Nick Francis and Rory O’Brien, our great managers Jacqui Smith and Lucy Bourke, Direct Tech for sponsorship, and all our family and friends who come to watch us.
This year has already thrown up some challenges for us here at RCH and we continue to do our best. Thanks to all our supporters and volunteers for their ongoing support and help.
It seems timely to remind our community to look out for one another and be vigilant of scams, frauds and con-people looking to take advantage of others. If you are having trouble with your digital devices, receiving unwanted contacts or strange emails, Jake from Raglan

Following the recent Raglan Community Board meeting held last Wednesday at the Town Hall, deputy chair Chris Rayner joins us in the studio to chat about freedom camping, rural waste issues, an update on the Manu Bay Break-wall and more on local infrastructure and transport.
Freedom Camping
Once again, freedom camping is stirring debate, with an increase in 18 to 30 campers parking on James St. nightly over summer months. Concerned residents have reported disruptive behaviour, including theft from local gardens, unauthorised use of water and street arguments among the campers.
Chris highlights the complexity of the issue, noting that according to national legislation councils can only restrict certain streets from freedom camping rather than impose blanket bans across the town, basically forcing them to play whack-a-mole with campervan hotspots.
Recent amendments to freedom camping laws require campers to use self-contained vehicles with toilet facilities, which aims to reduce strain on community infrastructure like public toilets. However, enforcement of these regulations remains lax.
Last summer, the Waikato District Council funded a Freedom Camping Ambassador position tasked with engaging campers to educate them about the rules and regulations. While compliance remains an issue, Chris emphasises the ongoing need for education and engagement, especially as new waves of tourists visit the district each year.
Rural Waste Issues
Staff from Xtreme Zero Waste presented a report into the ongoing issues at the Te Uku rural recycling depots in Whāingaroa. Their findings revealed that the lack of staff presence is a major reason (amongst others) behind the persistent problems at this and other rural sites, which have experienced repeated illegal dumping.
Undertaking an in-depth survey, XZW is attempting to unravel the problems surrounding this unmanned drop-off spot. Following the closure of drop off sites at Maungatawhiri Rd and Te Mata Rd entrances, the recent refurbishment of the facility in Te Mata appears to have reduced some of the issues they were facing there.
With some Raglan residents also using Te Uku site as a drop-off point the cost of processing rural waste is exceeding the
funding from the rural waste targeted rate and there is need for a sustainable solution. Xtreme will now be looking to formulate plans by engaging with the rural community.
When asked about overflowing bins at Papahua Xtreme explained that the bins were filling up within the space of an hour on busy summer days while the rubbish truck was still doing the rest of its circuit.
This prompted discussion about removing bins from public parks altogether so that people would take their rubbish home with them. There are no plans to actually do this at this stage but Council and Xtreme are watching successful endeavours at other councils like Rotorua Lakes District Council where they recently removed bins at Blue Lake. However, Chris says that the usefulness of such measures hinges on behaviour and community cooperation.
The heart of the matter appears to lie in fostering a culture of responsibility and accountability. As waste generation escalates unabated, confronting the issue will require collective effort and community-based solutions.
Manu Bay Break-wall
After a prolonged period of waiting, progress has finally been made regarding the issues surrounding the break-wall at Manu Bay. A comprehensive report containing five potential solutions has been completed and is set to be distributed to stakeholders.
“It's been a real, long dragged out process,” said Chris.
The report addresses the challenges posed by both old and new walls, which have caused problems with wave interference and overtopping. Despite constraints related to preserving the surf break at Manu Bay (a surf break of national significance), several options have been identified, with one standing out as the potential optimal solution.
However, the process involves further consultation with stakeholders and thorough consideration of financial costs, which are expected to be in the millions of dollars.
Chris also credited Community Board Chair Dennis Amoore for his commitment to working toward a resolution on an issue that has been running for about 8 years.
Change to SH23
Responsibility for the portion of SH23 where vehicles enter Raglan township, specifically from Hills Rd, has now shifted to Waikato District Council. Alongside this change, the speed limit has been reduced from 100 km/h to 60 km/h.
From Chris’s perspective, the next critical area requiring attention is the intersection
of Greenslade Rd with SH23, which will eventually be handed over to the district council as well. This junction is notorious for its unsafe conditions, characterised by a blind corner where a residential road intersects an open road.
However, the potential for road safety improvements at this intersection is overshadowed by the coalition Government's announcements regarding 'Roads of National Significance' and possible cuts to the transport budget. This uncertainty clouds any plans for addressing the safety concerns in the near future.
Additionally, the sluggish pace at which NZTA -Waka Kotahi typically operates further delays any hopes of a resolution for Greenslade Rd. As it stands, the prospect of a fix for this hazardous intersection remains distant.
As Raglan continues to grow, concerns persist about the lack of a comprehensive town structure plan. Chris, speaking on behalf of the Community Board, highlights the need to establish a framework for a future vision for Raglan, including the CBD and surrounding areas. This involves planning for roads, by-passes, three-waters infrastructure, parks, schools, and shopping and industrial areas.
Chris emphasises the importance for the board to engage with the council's Strategic Planning Group and to consider the Draft Transport Strategy for Raglan - a new document which is not yet available to the public. Issues such as the vulnerability of the community if SH23 is cut off again, maintenance of rural unsealed roads and traffic congestion on SH23 as the population grows are significant factors affecting our community.
Chris also notes the disparity between government level decisions to allow population growth while not allowing for growth of infrastructure, adding that there needs to be careful consideration of the infrastructure required to support a larger population. For instance, improved public transport could lower the expected pressure on SH23 that will occur with the doubling of Raglan’s population in the long term.
“That's one of the [Community Board’s] major goals - to set up the right framework, so that that discussion can then flourish.”
The next Raglan Community Board Meeting is set for Wednesday, 19 June, at the Town Hall Supper Rooms, with the public forum starting from 1.30pm.

As Youth Week 2024 approaches, the Whaingaraoa Youthwork Collective (WYC) is gearing up to host two events aimed at celebrating and empowering local rangatahi. Scheduled from May 20th to 26th, this week promises an array of activities to honour the youth in the community.
Under the theme 'Māwherangi a tama roto ka taka, kāpuia ake ka pūrangiaho,' which emphasizes the collective strength of unity, WYC is set to kick off the festivities with two awesome events.
The first event, "Clay Hand-Building," invites 12 to 18-year-olds to unleash their creativity at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre on Friday, May 24th, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Hosted by Jess Hill and Olivia Dean-Chambers, attendees can craft their clay masterpieces while enjoying snacks and camaraderie. Admission is free, with limited spots available. Those interested can register through WYC's Instagram handle, @whaingaroayouthworkcollective, and transportation assistance is available upon request.
The excitement continues with the "Wahine Moe Youth Cruise - Harbour Trip and Beach Walk" on Sunday, June 2nd, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Open to 13 to 18-year-olds, this event promises a scenic harbour cruise followed by a leisurely beach walk to Te Kaha Point, complete with food and music.
Registration is required via WYC's Instagram, @ whaingaroayouthworkcollective, and the event will be postponed in case of adverse weather conditions.
For inquiries or assistance, Gabrielle Parson can be contacted at 021 844 785.
come together and empower its youth, let's join hands in celebrating this special week.

It is rare to find a home in Raglan that offers fantastic views of both the Raglan harbour mouth and bar as well as eastwards over Kaitoke Bay. The home consists of an open plan Kitchen, Dining and Lounge with a warm and sunny conservatory to one side, 2 of the 4 generous bedrooms, large bathroom, separate toilet and laundry downstairs. Upstairs is another lounge, the other 2 bedrooms, walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom, and deck. Built for the views and sun and lovingly maintained, the home sits amongst easy care and seasonally colourful gardens and comes complete with a 3 bay garage. One, previously used as a hair salon, has been converted into a self-contained bed-sit complete with kitchenette, shower and toilet. A large carport suitable for housing a generous trailer boat or motorhome is an added bonus. The owners of the property regretfully offer their home and section to the market and are on the move… they have purchased elsewhere. Deadline Sale 4pm June 26th (Can be sold Prior)
