R AGL A N PER M ACULTUR E DESIGN COURSE TO R ETUR N IN 2026

A

fter a seven-year hiatus, the Raglan Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is set to return in March 2026, marking a significant moment for the local permaculture community and the wider Whāingaroa region.

Raglan has long held a strong relationship with permaculture, with the PDC playing a formative role in building local knowledge, confidence and practical skills.

Early courses helped seed initiatives such as Xtreme Zero Waste, alongside many other community-led projects that continue to shape Raglan today. The influence of those early teachings has extended well beyond the classroom, embedding permaculture thinking into everyday life across the community.

The returning course represents both a renewal and a transition. Long-time tutors Liz Stanway and Rick Thorpe, who have been central to the course’s legacy, will take on “elder” roles

as mentors and guardians of the programme. At the same time, organisational leadership is being passed to a new generation of local practitioners, including Finn Mackesy, Pippa Hayes, and a wider team drawn from Raglan’s permaculture community.

While the course will honour the foundations laid over decades, the content is being refreshed to reflect contemporary challenges and opportunities. The 2026 programme will be delivered as a 100-hour, nine-month modular course, running across a series of weekends to make it more accessible to people balancing work, family and community commitments.

For those involved, the return of the Raglan PDC is both momentous and deeply meaningful. It reflects the enduring relevance of permaculture in Raglan, while also signalling a careful passing of knowledge from one generation to the next — ensuring that the kaupapa continues to grow, adapt and inspire into the future.

WAYNE’S WOR LD NOW CENTR ED ON R EL A X ED WEDDINGS AT THE BE ACH

BY EDITH SY MES

L

ongtime local identity Wayne Morris has helped countless couples tie the knot over the decades – not just because he’s been a marriage celebrant for 33 years now but because so many couples want a picturesque Raglan setting for their nuptials.

Wayne, who’s lived in town about that long too, reckons his favourite setting has got to be the beach where sandals and jandals are the typical wedding attire.

He likes the casual tone of it all. “A lot of formality puts people off.”

High up on Wainui Reserve – from where hang-gliders are often launched – is also a popular wedding spot, he says, the beauty of Ngarunui Beach beckoning far below.

And there’s Whale Bay of course, where he once organised not only a photographer to be on site but also arranged a friend of his to stand in as the witness.

Then there’s the viewing layby overlooking Manu Bay. Wayne recalls the “funniest” ceremony at which he officiated was for a Japanese bride dressed in traditional white who was left waiting there 20 minutes or so for the groom to appear.

No-one could speak English, he says. The gathering of guests and family stood around awkwardly, looking at one another and gesticulating, until finally the bridegroom and groomsmen came running up from the surf in their wetsuits, he laughs.

The parents of the couple were not impressed, says Wayne.

Now 70, with a wealth of life experience and “real” jobs like being an estate agent behind him, Wayne remains just as enamoured as ever with officiating at weddings.

They’re an occasion, they are joyful and, as the celebrant, Wayne wants to make every ceremony feel as easy and relaxed as possible for everyone.

“I will do a wedding at any time and any place.”

The only legal requirement, he explains, is that the words ‘do you take…’ and ‘I do’ are spoken aloud by the couple. But even if they want a very short ceremony “I encourage them to think of their guests, and I reiterate that it’s a special day”.

Wayne’s job is to guide each couple through the legal process and to “personalise” the script so the ceremony reflects their unique story, values and vision.

He might suggest a poem to be

read or a song to be sung, having earlier established what they really want to say to each other in their wedding vows.

There are prior meetings, a draft service, possibly a rehearsal before the big day. “And if you make a mistake,” he tells each couple, “don’t panic, keep going.

No-one but you and I will ever know.”

Alongside Wayne’s celebrancy work is his role as a JP or Justice of the Peace, a volunteer job which keeps him busy with legalities such as witnessing signatures and certifying documents – a “great community service”, he believes, in which help with legal processes is accessible to all.

He has also had umpteen other volunteer roles during his time in Raglan including 20 years as homestay co-ordinator for the area school’s Surf Academy, and stints as chair of both the Waikato Enterprise Agency and the Raglan Community Board.

He’s also been involved with the local Arts Council, Lions and the Surf Life Saving club.

While Wayne spent most of his early life on the other side of the divvy there’s always been a connection to Raglan, he says. “My granddad was a WW1 veteran and farmed in Te Hutewai Rd.” On moving here permanently when his three children were still young, Wayne took over what was known as Raglan’s general store. The business was located in a big wooden-floored space at the top end of the main street, about where the laundromat and surrounding shops are now.

It was an emporium of sorts, selling everything from fabrics and clothes to haberdashery items and furniture. He also did quotes for carpet-laying, acted as both an insurance and travel agent, did postal services and even sold shoes and gumboots.

To top it all off Wayne set up Raglan’s first information centre there with an all-volunteer staff.

Most recently, Wayne – with his hair tied up in a stylish man bun – was seen in and out of the supermarket downtown in Bow St. He managed the selection and buying of alcoholic beverages there for 23 years, through all its transitions from Four Square to SuperValue to FreshChoice.

And while he loves living in Raglan, Wayne admits too, it’s small and “you’ve got to get out of it at times” – which gives him a great excuse now to kick back and indulge in some overseas trips.

A SK THE A RTIST: CL AUDI A GRUTK E WO R K I N G I N A B S T R AC T

orking primarily in abstraction, this Raglanbased artist explores emotion, atmosphere and memory through a process-led practice rooted in play and intuition.

Their work favours feeling over form, allowing meaning to emerge gradually rather than be prescribed.

There are many pieces that I love, all for their own reasons; it feels impossible to pin down a single project.

How would you describe your art or style to someone seeing it for the first time?

As creativity is not a constant, but rather a feeling of possibility — a moment when your mind opens to see a new path — creative blocks can be accepted as part of the journey.

My work could be described as abstract interpretations of emotional landscape paintings, where a feeling might be more inspirational than a visual object.

What inspires your work?

Since I started to look within, I am slowly realising that my inspiration predominantly arrives from intangible or vague subjects like atmosphere, nuances, undertones, movements, resonances, light and shade.

Conversations often spark something unexpected; memories can be brought up and ideas may follow.

Can you tell us about your creative process — where does an idea usually begin for you?

My work is driven by curiosity, without a fixed starting point or a defined destination. I love experimenting and generally find my way as I go.

In my studio, I give myself permission to playfully discover my materials. Essentially, my work emerges out of play in a continuously shifting process.

What’s one piece or project you’re most proud of, and what makes it special?

However, I am proud of the consistent working relationship with one of the leading international online galleries I signed up with about twelve years ago.

They continue to sell my work to overseas collectors.

Have you faced any creative blocks or challenges? How do you push through them?

When I faced my own creative block, the solution was to sign up to the Creative Visionary Programme with Nicholas Wilton in 2020. The programme teaches art principles and has been a lifesaver throughout the pandemic years and beyond. It has changed my art practice completely, and for the better.

I had to learn that clarity and presence are crucial for any creative process, and that it takes time to figure out your own process, which is deeply personal. This feels particularly relevant for abstract work.

How has living or working in a small town like Raglan shaped your journey as an artist?

What can I say? Raglan has such a vibrant creative community that living here feels like an invitation to follow your own creative path.

Who are some artists or people who have inspired you, locally or globally?

Please forgive me, but the artists I admire most are living in the northern hemisphere.

Here are three living artists I particularly admire for the freedom in their work, as well as their achievements and success: • Gerhard Richter (Germany)

• Manuela Karin Knaut (Germany) • Roy Aurinko (Finland) Surely, I could name a few more, but it would exceed the limits of this interview.

How do you balance making art that’s true to you with what people want to see or buy?

It’s early days though; we’ll have to go into detail another time. Most importantly, my aim is to maintain a good art practice — the rest will follow.

When I feel the freedom to let go of the rules and think for myself, I gain more confidence with every brushstroke I make.

The more confident I am, the better my work will be.

For art lovers, my studio door is open Saturdays and Sundays, 11am–3pm, for the months of January and February.

Visitors are welcome, contact for appointment to view.

So, making art uncompromisingly will win.

Supporting your community.

My current project is taking the garden to canvas in new ways. It began with my 2025 100 Day Project, which flopped after 50 days — but new ideas are literally taking shape.

It’s hard — or even impossible — to create exciting, meaningful art when I am worried about what others might think.

I have learned mostly through mentors, short courses and through lots and lots and lots of practice. I’ve just finished editing work for my 400th client - each shoot builds new skills and ideas.

Tom Noble is a new photographer in town.

A

new face in Whāingaroa, this photographer is passionate about helping locals, creatives and businesses present themselves with confidence through high-quality, versatile imagery.

Can you please describe your photography and what you offer in terms of services/options to the wider community.

Absolutely! I shoot headshots & portraits in a wide range of styles, pets, events, gigs, products - anything! I cover a wide range of services but my work is centred around joy, positivity & professionalism. I want people, or the businesses and brands they hold, to be represented in the best possible light.

When did you come to Raglan and what attracted you to the area? I moved to Raglan late last year to spend more time with my family. I love the community here. My folks are very engaged in it and I’m excited to get involved.

What is your background with photography? How did you learn and where has it taken you?

My previous life was working for arts festivals across Aotearoa & Australia and, while at New Zealand Fringe Festival, I ran a project supporting local artists by employing a local photographer to shoot their promotion campaigns. During that, I saw how much fun it is, as well as the creative & entrepreneurial potential within it, so I bought a camera and got shooting.

What do you think is the importance of businesses having quality images to represent them?

Now that everyone has a camera in their pocket, capturing images and video that stand out is trickier than ever. Having a combination of high quality production and a unique look is imperative in businesses getting a look-in across the sea of digital media and advertising. Audiences want to find you but have ever increasing options and expectations, so staying ahead of the game often means upkeep and fresh perspectives.

How can they use images across different media?

Professional Images can be used for everything from websites, to promotional print and digital campaigns, social media, billboards, family albums & prints, Linkedin profiles, book publication - or dating profiles!

What do you enjoy about your business and role?

I’m a people person through and through, so I love meeting new people and helping create images they’ll really use and benefit from. I also appreciate how expensive professional images can be so I love providing flexible options so everyone can access it.

Are there challenges that you face and overcome?

It’s a very saturated market - everyone has a camera and a lot of people have very good, professional grade cameras, so it can be hard to get a foot in the door, especially when moving to a new area.

What are you hoping to achieve in 2026?

I’m really hoping to connect with the Whaingaroa community and get to know all the businesses, creatives and amazing whanau that make up this town and help build what is already great, and get more people, especially growing businesses, a new look.

How do people get in touch to chat about what you offer?

The best way is to email me, either through tom@tomnoblecreative.com, or through my website tomnoblecreative. com. Instagram is also great via @ tomnoblecreative

SURF SERIES B RO U G H T TO YOU BY R AG L A N SURF CO

aglan surfers Billy Stairmand and Maya Mateja claimed the premier divisions of the 2026 National Surfing Championships presented by Trust Tairawhiti on Saturday (17th January) taking the trophies north from Gisborne.

Under moody skies and unruly 1.5m waves at Makorori Beach, the two surfers added to their tallies, Stairmand extending his impressive tally to nine while 17-year-old Mateja claimed her second title.

Having last won a title in 2021, 36-year-old Stairmand had to battle the largest field of surfers in the past two decades for the win and by his own admission had battled to find his feet during the seven-day event.

“I had a couple of scrappy heats this week; it was small most of the week but contestable and I just couldn’t find my rhythm. I actually changed up my boards today too which was good and I saved my best performance until last,” stated Stairmand who finished with a 17.84

DOUBLE TITLES TO WA IK ATO SUR FERS AT N ATION A L CH A M PIONSHIPS point heat total for the win in what ultimately was a dominant performance.

By contrast the women’s final was an edge-of-your-seat match-up with 0.67 points separating first from fourth with the lead swinging several times through the 25 minutes.

Mateja grabbed the win late and on her last scoring ride of 5.73 to post a 12.80 heat total for her second title, her first coming in 2024.

“I feel so happy and blessed, super grateful to be here with my family and enjoy the event and get the win this week,” said Mateja.

“Really hard conditions today; I didn’t know what was going on out there because I couldn’t hear the scores coming out. The other girls were surfing good, so I knew I had to concentrate on getting more good waves for the win and when I came into the beach, I found out that I did enough,” she added.

Mateja was proud to win alongside Billy as someone she looks up to. “I love his surfing; it means a lot to me to win

alongside him today and take two titles back to Raglan,” she said.

Alani Morse (Rag) while finishing fourth, was never out of the title race after surfing five heats on the final day of the event, chasing a small 5.4 point ride for the title.

Just under 400 entries across 28 divisions were received for the event which featured competition across shortboard, longboard, stand up paddleboard (SUP), kneeboard, bodyboard and adaptive disciplines, with divisions spanning from Under 14s through to Over 70s.

ith the growing season well underway, it’s an ideal time to speak with the people producing food for our community. Local growers play a vital role in shaping Raglan’s food landscape, providing fresh, seasonal produce while strengthening local food security. To kick off Raglan Food Journeys for 2026, I spoke with Eddie Robinson of Soul Food Farm, whose food journey began long before he planted his first seed in Raglan soil.

Born in Gladstone, Australia, to an English father and a Kiwi mother, Eddie’s early years were shaped by movement between countries and cultures. Some of his earliest food memories are of his father cooking. At a time when many home cooks stuck to the basics, his dad was adventurous - particularly with Chinese food - sparking Eddie’s early interest in flavour and technique.

After finishing school and embarking on overseas adventures, cooking became a way to fund his travels.

This led to five seasons working as a private chef in the French Alps, followed by time cooking aboard a superyacht.

Eventually, Eddie returned to Aotearoa, bringing those experiences home to run a luxury lodge in Rotorua.

Eddie and his wife, Kylie, moved to Raglan sixteen years ago, drawn by a dairy farming job and, just as importantly, the surf. What began as a practical move quickly became home, and a great place to raise their family.

The creation of their small-scale garden soon evolved into Soul Food Farm, a spray-free, regenerative operation using a no-dig approach. Eddie and Kylie grow a range of seasonal produce, including salad mixes, microgreens, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and broccolini. Eddie explains, “No two days look the same on the farm. Some mornings are spent harvesting and packing, others seeding microgreens or working in the garden.” Eddie thrives on early starts. “After dairy farming for so long, that quiet morning time is when I’m most productive. No interruptions - just flow.”

Seasonality dictates everything on the farm. “I’ve always felt that farming is all about reading between the lines and interpreting what Mother Nature is trying to tell you,” he says. “Sometimes you get it right; other times it’s a tough lesson!” While greenhouses and careful timing allow for year-round supply, summer remains the most challenging season. Heat, pests, and crop timing can all collide, but Eddie sees the difficulty as part of the reward. “There’s a huge sense of achievement when you get it right.”

EDDIE’S 5 TIPS FOR GROWING GREAT GARDENS 1. All-bran is an effective, natural slug deterrent around young plants. We use it around our cucumbers with great success.

2. Correct plant spacing and good airflow help prevent pests from establishing a habitat in your garden.

3. Growing crops vertically — such as cucumbers, capsicums, eggplants, and tomatoes — helps maximise space and improves plant health.

4. Consistent watering makes a significant difference to plant growth and overall garden success.

5. Start plants from seed in small pots or trays, then transplant them once they are strong enough.

This gives them the best possible start and encourages healthy, robust growth.

Growing the majority of their family’s food on-site, and trading locally for what they don’t produce, reinforces Eddie’s belief that small communities like Raglan should be striving for resilience. At Soul Food Farm, produce is grown and harvested to order, often reaching shelves within 24 hours - fresh, local kai with minimal food miles.

For those wanting to grow their own, Eddie’s advice is simple: start small, grow what you love, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Eat seasonally, enjoy food at its peak, and remember that paying a little more for local produce often means better flavour and longer shelf life. Above all, he says, “Have fun with it and get adventurous with what you grow.”

For Eddie, Raglan’s strength lies in its people - a community that supports local, values connection, and shows up for one another. “We’re stoked to be able to raise our kids in this close-knit, vibrant community,” he says. “Having the beach right on our doorstep makes it pretty special.”

You’ll find Soul Food Farm produce on local shelves and plates around Raglan — quietly feeding the community Eddie calls home — supplying local businesses such as Four Square Raglan, FreshChoice, Raglan Herbal Dispensary, ULO’s, The LOCAL FOOD Shack, WYLD, George’s Beach Club and Orca.

EDDIE’S BANG BANG SALMON POKE BOWL As a family, we love making fresh salmon poke bowls. Last winter, we were fortunate enough to travel to Japan on a family holiday to visit Kylie’s brother, and it deepened our long-standing love of Asian street food.

Ingredients: SALMON 500 g salmon, skin removed & cut into 1-inch pieces 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon black pepper BANG BANG SAUCE 1 cup (232 g) mayonnaise ½ cup (132 g) Thai sweet chilli sauce 2 teaspoons sriracha, or more to taste 2 tablespoons honey Chives, finely chopped, for garnish

TO SERVE ½ cup sushi rice, Sushi seasoning, to taste, Cucumber (sliced), Tomatoes (chopped), Edamame beans, Kewpie mayonnaise, Sesame seeds, Pickled ginger Method: 1. Cook the sushi rice using the absorption method. Once cooked, gently fold through the sushi seasoning & set aside to cool slightly.

2. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. 3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, & pepper.

4. Add the salmon pieces & gently toss until evenly coated.

5. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, sriracha, & honey until smooth.

6. Pour half of the Bang Bang sauce into a small bowl & set aside for serving.

T

ucked in between The Shack and Ray White on Bow Street, is a little shop with an aeroplane nose above its door - have you ventured in here before? This is JET Collective - an art store / gallery with ‘all things bright and beautiful’.

We caught up with some of the artists at JET to see what they have in store and hear more about this group of local creatives...

Who or what is JET Collective?

JET Collective is an eclectic group of 7 local artists and crafts people, as well as a bricks and mortar store in the main street of town.

This colourful space is a showcase of local talent, creativity and skill - our mediums include textiles, jewellery, photography, painting, hat making and ceramics.

Our current members are Jillian Lankshear, Sarah Steed, Sarah Aitchison, Karla Stevenson, Hayley Hamilton, Geraldine Burns and Lisa Uphill.

Through an inspired, fun curation of work by our artists and stockists we create a joyous, comfortable and inviting space with a great vibe, that locals and visitors to Raglan can enjoy.

Can you describe the concept that the JET Collective was built on and how it operates?

The original concept of JET was to bring together a bunch of Raglan creatives and provide a supportive and dynamic platform to showcase their work, sharing the responsibilities of running a gallery.

How has the Collective evolved over the years?

In the beginning there were 7 Collective members and 7 days a week so each one of us covered a day and split the costs of rent; we were on a shoe string budget but it worked beautifully.

As the years ticked by and people came and went we had to make a decision to take on other people’s work and sell their products on consignment; we then could cover our bills but stay true to the aesthetic of JET. So what has evolved is still an artist run gallery but with a strong emphasis on New Zealand made and designed work. We now display work from over 40 different creatives.

FB: jetcollective

IG: @jetcollectiveraglan

What have been the key reasons that JET has thrived for 25 years?

It is a really sensible way for an artist to sell their work without a huge financial commitment and only a small commission. Collectives work well if the communication and supportive environment are in harmony with the original goals of the concept. Like in any partnership there are ebbs and flows and you have to be realistic.

At the moment we are a group of 7 women of all ages and with that comes real life stuff that far out-weighs any rule that we have written down.

So we have to be fluid and support each other; its not just about the nuts and bolts of running Jet. How would you describe the mix of artwork and products available at JET? We have a very broad range of work; the members produce ceramics, jewellery, photography, handmade clothing, hats, original paintings and limited edition prints.

The first part tells the story of leaving my flat, living in a tiny caravan for six months with my dog and parrot, including through Cyclone Gabrielle, and eventually moving into my tiny house, where I’ve now lived for over two years.

Q: So it’s not just a book about tiny houses?

Not at all. The middle section is about recognising those patterns and changing them at an unconscious level, where real change actually happens.

Is it something people can trust?

Raglan

Community Radio show How to Make It Work, a podcast exploring how people build lives and livelihoods that truly fit them. In this conversation, Steph shares the story behind her new book Tiny House Diaries, launching this month. She also talks about her work helping people make sense of change — personally and professionally as the “Head” Consultant at Inside Your Mind.

Q: Steph, for people who don’t know you yet, how would you describe what you do?

I help people shift their identity. That might sound big, but really it’s about helping people come back to who they are when life has pulled them in ten different directions. We’re all constantly evolving, and sometimes people reach a point where they know they’ve changed,

Q: You didn’t originally plan to become a coach, did you?

No, not at all. I was the HR manager at a power company with around 120 staff.

People would come to me with problems, and I often sensed when something deeper was going on, when someone wasn’t quite themselves.

Later, when I discovered Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), it all made sense. I realised I’d been picking up on signals like tone of voice, body language, and subtle changes that other people didn’t consciously notice.

Q: NLP is something you talk about a lot. How do you explain it in simple terms?

The final part offers tips for anyone or simplifying their life. Decluttering isn’t just about stuff; it’s about headspace.

Yes, but people often confuse intuition

Q: You also speak a lot about intuition.

what I learned from that experience —

Q: Let’s talk about Inside Your Mind as a business. How do you work with people?

I do one-on-one sessions, group coaching,

workshops,

and

longer

programmes. I love face-to-face work because the energy in a room is powerful, but I also work online. I run a six-month program called B.O.L.T Coaching — Build, Own, Lead and Thrive — for solopreneurs

Q: Why do you think this topic resonates so strongly right now?

Because people are realising how little they actually need to live a fulfilling life.

Downsizing can bring up grief, identity shifts, and big emotions — but also freedom. When you have less, you worry less. You focus on what really matters.

That’s what the book is ultimately about.

Q: Where can people get the book?

Tiny House Diaries launches this February. It will be available in print in New Zealand and as an ebook via Amazon. I’m also planning a local book launch to celebrate, and to say thank you to the community who supported me along the way. I’ll be sharing more details

i, I’m Lorraine. Adding beauty to a space, creating special moments, and fostering connections through fresh flowers is the ethos behind my business.

Why flowers?

In Your Home As well as their beauty, fresh flowers in a home creates moments of calm. They gently elevate the space and the mood of those around them. Flowers reduce stress and anxiety, and boost happiness by stimulating our feel-good hormones.

For Expressing Feelings The psychology of flowers involves non-verbal communication, neurochemical responses, and cultural symbolism, creating special connections and empathy between people. When you give flowers, it conveys effort and attention, making people feel valued, seen, and … loved!

I’d love to help you create beautiful spaces, memorable moments and occasions, and special connections through flowers.

aglan-based Fox Cabins is seeing growing interest in ‘Granny Flats’ and small dwellings, following recent changes to New Zealand regulations that now allow for secondary dwellings of up to 70 square metres without full council involvement.

Now in its ninth year, Fox Cabins has delivered more than 100 custom tiny houses and transportable homes across Aotearoa, many designed to support extended family living, ageing parents or flexible work-fromhome arrangements.

Owner Adam Fox says the regulatory shift is a game changer for families wanting to add space without moving house.

“For the first time, people can create a high-quality, permanent home on their property without the usual cost, delays and complexity,” he says.

“It’s making well-designed granny flats a genuinely practical option.”

With Licensed Building Practitioners, strong compliance expertise and a focus on thoughtful design, we help homeowners add long-term value while keeping homes compact, efficient and future-proof.

ho doesn’t love the beautiful West Coast, Raglan! This is where Rubixarc was born since 2019, an architectural design practice with a refreshingly human approach to building.

While proudly established in the coastal community, Rubixarc’s reach extends across Aotearoa — designing homes, renovations, and commercial spaces that reflect New Zealand’s unique landscapes and lifestyles.

What sets Rubixarc apart is a simple philosophy: great architecture starts with care.

We’re a small practice by choice. That means when you work with Rubixarc, you get our full attention from the first sketch to the final detail. We only take on a few projects each year, so we can stay closely involved, keep the quality high, and make sure every client feels looked after. It’s not about volume — it’s about care, detail, and

the kind of service you don’t always find these days.

Every project is different. One week we might be working on a coastal family home that opens straight to the salt air, and the next, a small extension, renovation or a 70sqm rural granny flat. What connects them all is the same Rubixarc touch — fresh ideas, a realistic price, respect for the environment, and a focus on spaces that truly feel like home.

We’re proud that many of our clients come to us through word of mouth. That tells us we’re doing something right — not just drawing plans, but building trust and lasting relationships.

Sustainability is at the heart of Rubixarc’s design ethos. Our completely off-grid Showhome (pictured) here in Raglan demonstrates this very well. It harmonises with its environment through smart orientation, efficient use of materials, with repurposed, carbon free materials

and environmentally responsible building techniques. It’s a rural home fully powered by the sun, but still provides luxury specifications. Only 20 minutes from Raglan, Rubixarc focuses on eco friendly, future ready design that’s as good for the planet as it is for its occupants. Each design blends high performance with timeless aesthetics, proving that being environmentally conscious and design driven can go hand in hand.

Rubixarc is here to design architecture that feels personal, modern, and done with style — whether you’re dreaming up something big or small. If that sounds like your kind of approach, we’d love to chat and show you our Showhome by appointment.

So get in touch!

This local team of capable, professional and highly skilled builders have been receiving excellent reviews and recommendations since “Chop” started CCL in Raglan 10 years ago.

Their most recent major project has been a highly specialised new home designed and built to accommodate the family’s desire for clean and healthy living. With high end finishings, including polished concrete floors, and systems to support heat transfer and clean air and water among some of the finer details of this beautiful Rangitahi home.

With many satisfied return clients Chop and the CCL team are experienced with new homes, renovations, shop fit out, decking, retaining walls and more. If you’re planning a new build, get the CCL team on board early to ensure your spot in 2026 and to support you and your project from the beginning.

As a house soft-wash can use quite a lot of water, those on tank should seriously consider doing it during those wetter months.

Likewise for roof treatments to kill the lichen that is eating away at your paint, as this service requires disconnection from your rain collection tank for 3-4 weeks.

Other services that should be considered with the cold and wet approaching include gutter-clearing to avoid overflowing that may lead to more costly repairs; surface cleaning of dangerously slippery decks or pathways and chimney sweeping to ensure a safe and efficient fireplace is ready to use once the bite arrives.

AI AND PROPERTY LAW: WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

N

W I T H G I N A J A N S E N L AW Y E R S

ew Zealand’s property transfer sector— made up of lawyers, real estate agents and financial institutions—has traditionally been awash with paper trails, wet-ink signatures, in-person settlements and manually registered interests.

This is notwithstanding the fact that, in more recent years, Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has significantly modernised and digitised the titles system, introducing electronic registration systems and online settlements.

However, with the rapid introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) from 2022 onwards, further and significant momentum is expected within the property law and real estate sectors in 2026.

Automation is now reshaping property transactions, particularly in conveyancing. Law firms, real estate agents, banks and mortgage brokers already use specialised CRM and API software tools that allow auto-populated documents to generate standard forms using personal information, sometimes obtained directly from the client.

AI-enabled software goes one step further. AI can review and summarise substantial third-party documents—for example, LIM reports—enabling cross-referencing against LINZ records of title and identifying unusual instruments.

Of course, AI should not completely replace the eye of the experienced property lawyer, given the propensity for AI errors, bias, misinterpretation and hallucination. The potential for AI error requires robust checking systems within law firms. Clients still seek human reassurance in legal work, and a peace of mind that AI simply cannot provide. That said, the ability for AI to review large volumes of complex information reduces the time and cost required for manual cross-referencing.

Smart Contracts Smart contracts are self-executing agreements coded on blockchain platforms and are widely used in overseas real estate sectors. However, due to New Zealand’s deliberately

Some systems already map spatial data, matching it to zoning restrictions and identifying consent triggers. With the growth of natural environment risk zones and expanding urban overlays, AI shows real promise for developers and local authorities alike.

There are, however, challenges to overcome—particularly the accuracy of underlying data and the constant regulatory changes to District Plans. Lawyers will continue to play a critical role in verifying AI-generated outputs against local authority interpretations.

Risks and Responsibilities As AI becomes more embedded in the property sector, questions of liability, privacy and professional competence will arise. Under the Privacy Act 2020, agencies must ensure that personal information is collected, stored and used lawfully, and that the use of third-party AI tools involving confidential information complies with the Act’s privacy principles.

centralised land data system at LINZ—which is based on the certainty of title principle formalised in the Land Transfer Act 2017—New Zealand remains some way from initiating smart contract systems in property and land transfer transactions.

Under the current framework, title transfers can only be registered through LINZ’s Landonline database, using prescribed instruments. Transactions are entirely supported by lawyer certification, authority and identity checks, which limits the immediate application of decentralised blockchain-based systems.

AI and Land Use Regulation Beyond property transfer transactions, AI also has the potential to assist property developers with complex regulatory interpretation under the Resource Management Act. This includes zoning analysis, District Plan overlays and consent pathways.

The Privacy Amendment Act 2025, which comes into force in early 2026, will specifically address the use of AI technology in relation to personal information. This includes inadvertent disclosures, and the collection, storage and use of sensitive and confidential information held by third-party software providers.

Property transactions inevitably involve high-value, sensitive data. Agencies must therefore ensure strict safeguards are in place to protect client confidentiality, privacy and data accuracy, in order to avoid misuse, abuse and fraud.

AI cannot—at least for now—replicate the greatest assets of the experienced property lawyer: legal judgment, nuance, and the client–lawyer relationship.

A LIT TLE BIT OF HELP M A K ES A HUGE DIFFER ENCE!

L

ocal Rangitahi volunteers are making a real dent in pest numbers across the peninsula.

Predator traps might be small and easy to miss along the walkways, but together they’re having a big impact. The Rangitahi team has now deployed 63 traps along walkways and the estuarine edge to target rats, stoats, and possums.

These traps protect native wildlife, and ongoing trapping also reduces the risk of them entering homes, ceilings, and sheds, making this approach a win for both biodiversity and everyday living.

So far, the Rangitahi trapping network has removed over 650 introduced predators, mostly rats and mice, along with possums and mustelids. These pests prey on eggs and chicks and bounce back

quickly if control stops - which is why regular trapping is essential.

Behind the numbers are hundreds of volunteer trap checks and a shared commitment to caring for this place. Add in backyard trapping by 20 local families, and altogether, we really are making a huge difference!

Local family Molly and Brett, and their two kids, Ava and Eden, are part of the Karioi Backyard Hub and have trapped four rats and mice in the last few months.

They say: “We like trapping because it’s simple to do, but it feels great knowing we’re making a real difference for the environment right in our own backyard.”

Rounding out the lineup are Four Blind Mice, a country and blues outfit bonded by a shared love of roots music.
