THE SURFER’S CODE

HAPPY HOLIDAYS BUT SAFETY FIRST Your guide to summer in Raglan!

Waves can move quickly and unexpectedly and can knock kids off their feet and sweep them away. Everyone has different levels of ability as well, so watch out for your mates too. They may have been pool champ at primary but may not have swum a lot since then. Never go in alone, always make sure you have a mate to watch your back.

5. Know How to Get Help - Me Mōhio koe me Pēhea te Kimi Āwhina If someone in the water is in trouble and surf lifeguards are on patrol, let them know. If you can’t see any surf lifeguards, call 111 and ask for the police. Police have a direct line to surf lifeguards and others who can help.

If you’re in the water and in trouble yourself, signal for help by raising your hand directly above your head.

Let’s stay safe out there people and have a great summer holiday in our own little slice of paradise.

T

he lifeguards are out now keeping you safe at Ngarunui Beach, with our volunteer patrols every weekend till Easter and the Paid Lifeguard Service operational during the week till the 28th of February.

Here are some of the key safety messages you can follow to keep yourself and your whānau safe and to make their job easier: 1. Know How To Float - Me Mōhio koe me Pēhea te Mānu If you don’t know how to float, don’t go into the water.

Just being able to float when you are in the water can increase your chance of survival. Floating allows you to calm yourself and keep your airways out of the water. It is also the first thing to do if you get caught in a rip, which we have a lot of.

If you don’t know how to float well, practice or get some lessons in a pool before you head to the beach - being able to float is a key skill when learning to swim. Anyone can learn to float but some people may take a little longer to learn. Boaties, make sure you have the right gear on, including a lifejacket.

2. Find The Safest Place To Swim - Kimihia te Wāhi Haumaru Rawa Ki Te Kaukau Remember, if you are heading to the beach, check www. safeswim.org.nz to find a lifeguarded beach, and always swim between the red and yellow flags, which show the safest place to swim. The surf lifeguards are there to help keep beachgoers safe, by keeping a constant eye on the sea as they continuously scan for hazards or people in difficulty, keeping on top of weather forecasts and understanding the swell and tide conditions too. Our guards will put the flags in the safest spot for you and your whānau and will always have a yarn about where to go if you are unsure.

3. If In Doubt, Stay Out - Mehemea e Rangirua Ana, Me Noho Ki Waho Waves can be bigger than they look, dangerous rip currents are hard to spot and weather conditions can be unpredictable.

This applies to swimmers, surfers and boaties trying to cross the bar. If you feel uncomfortable about getting into the water, stay out. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Too many people get into trouble in the water because they overestimate their abilities and underestimate the conditions.

4. Take Care of Others - Tiakina te Tangata Always keep children within arm’s reach in or near the water.

Summer Safety From Raglan police We want you to all have a great summer whether you’re visiting for the holidays or you are lucky enough to live here. For our locals, we know you will make visitors feel welcome. If you’re visiting our town, we want you to leave with happy memories of your stay in Raglan.

Help make it a wonderful summer for everyone • Be responsible. Do not drink and drive. Make plans ahead of time if you are going to be drinking.

• Be careful. Don’t leave property inside your cars. Lock your cars and your homes.

• Be patient on the roads. Everyone deserves to reach their destination. Give yourself plenty of driving time and enjoy the journey.

Although this time of year is known as the festive season, for some, it is far from festive. It can be a very lonely, sad time of the year. Just a reminder to keep an eye on your family, friends and neighbours. Check up on them. Ask them if they are OK, and if they are not, encourage them to seek help from experts. The Mental Health line is 0800 505050.

There is a liquor ban in place throughout the year in the CBD. From 23rd December through to the 6th January every year there is a Raglan area wide liquor ban in ALL public places. This goes from Te Uku, through Raglan township, down the coast to Ruapuke and includes Te Mata. Any breach of liquor ban can result in a $250.00 instant fine.

It is important that you report non-urgent incidents to 105 (or go online to 105.police.govt.nz) and for emergency assistance, call 111 A very merry Christmas and happy holidays from your local police officers, Linda, Andrew and Raewyn.

Volunteer Coastguard Thinking about checking out those epic fishing spots just across the bar? From the Manukau and Tairua to Raglan and Waimakariri, Coastguard volunteers responded to a number of bar crossing accidents last summer, several of which saw people not return home to their loved ones.

Over summer, Coastguard volunteers will be out on the water ensuring Kiwis can enjoy our beautiful waterways safely and with confidence. Do your part and make sure you and your whānau don’t become a statistic this holiday season.

If you need to contact Coastguard for on-water assistance, please call *500. For marine emergencies please call 111 or VHF Channel 16.

Respect the environment & each other

S

urfers at Ngarunui Beach, Manu Bay and Whale Bay will see ‘Surfers Code’ signs near the water.

Thanks to local funding by the Raglan Point Boardriders and a grant from Waikato District Council, these signs can be seen at key surf points.

With the water getting busier and busier, knowing the rules and practising safety in the water is crucial here on the west coast. The main theme of the Surfers Code in Raglan: Respect the environment, the ocean and most importantly, each other.

The infamous waves at Manu Bay attract surfers from around the world. But before you jump in the water just to say “I’ve surfed Manu Bay in Raglan”, take time to think if you really should be surfing there.

Point Break Ability: Intermediate to Expert No Beginners Paddling Out: Paddle wide of the wave. If caught inside, stay in the white water.

rowing up on our family farm at Te Makaka on the northern side of Aotea harbour felt like somewhere far, far away or ‘out in the wop wops.’ Seeing dust on the road during the day or car lights at night was cause for great excitement!

Nowadays the ‘wop wops’ seems less far away. With people choosing to live a country lifestyle, this often leads to making connections with others, creating pockets of community connectedness.

Dune Restoration Whaingaroa is abundant in community connection and opportunities to get involved.

Early this summer I got to help down at ‘our’ farm beach south of Ruapuke, where we planted just over 800 kōwhangatara and pīngao.

The little seedlings as they grow will help build dune resilience by restoring the natural system in weak areas along the coastline, thanks to Stacey from Coastcare and a team of 20 local volunteers.

AED Training Hato Hone St John Raglan have been rolling out ‘Three Steps for Life’ training sessions. I attended one at Mōtakotako marae, where the latest AED device has been installed for community use. There are now a number of AED strategically placed in isolated rural areas in our rohe, including 803 Ruapuke Rd, Ruapuke Campground and Te Papatapu Marae.

Community Resilience Our Community Response Plan has been developed for the Whaingaroa rohe to ensure there are things in place to help in an emergency.

With the recent power outages highlighting

both vulnerabilities and opportunities, being prepared is important; handy tips: • Know your neighbours • Have an emergency plan • Have a supply of candles and matches handy • Have a charged portable charger for your phone • Have a supply of bottled water and some quick ‘n’ easy food available Thanks to Raglan Naturally we have delivered emergency-equipped wheelie bins to key organisations and community networks - to be utlilised as needed. Watch this space for more updates.

Te Mata Hall Makeover The Te Mata community recently won the Hits Radio competition for a makeover of their much-loved hall which many refer to as the ‘heart of the community’. Originally built in 1910, the hall will be freshly painted, with enthusiastic locals also coordinating much needed repair work. Once completed the hall will be in top shape for the community for another 100 years. A special thank you to Margie Cornes and her family for 20 plus years of dedicated service to the hall and community.

Wastewater Treatment Plant The much-awaited wastewater treatment plant upgrade and installation of a stateof-the-art membrane bioreactor (MBR) is well underway, and all going well should be completed in February/March 2025. In simple terms this means our wastewater will be treated to a much higher standard, having the same clarity as drinking water and being close to drinking water quality.

With the MBR producing a high-quality discharge we are looking at land discharge options to Wainui Reserve, preferred by mana-

whenua and our community. The council has already undertaken: • Ecological assessments.

And is currently undertaking: • Geotechnical and hydrogeological assessments.

• Activity to understand what volume of water can safely be discharged to the gully.

Watch out for more information.

Community Learning I have been part of an amazing team creating opportunities for our community to learn about Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its importance to us all. The ‘Toitū: Strengthening Community through Connection’ programme recognises that achieving the flourishing partnership relationship aspired to in Te Tiriti o Waitangi requires learning and sharing: connection to stories of people and place that grew out of and are unique to Whāingaroa. Opportunities created as part of this programme have included creating our Waitangi Day Celebration 2024 short film, Matariki ki Whaingaroa Indigenous Film and Arts Festival, Toreparu Wetland Restoration Workshop and the launch of Oliver McLeod’s book ‘Geology of Karioi’. Most recently we have been focused on engaging the community in Treaty of Waitangi Principles Bill submission workshops.

Remember submissions close on 7th January so make sure to get your submissions done now.

Join our Toitū Whaingaroa Facebook group for information and resources. Watch this space for more opportunities to engage, learn and ignite thinking and action!

NEW DEVELOPMENT KEEPS DAIRY FACTORY LEGACY ALIVE

by Janine Jackson

Local artist Shorty Dubs will have a studio space at the Old Dairy Factory building.

K

nown affectionately as ‘the old lady’ by former owner Andreas Broring, the Raglan Co-op Dairy Factory is being given a new lease of life by her new owners Hayden and Hayley Vink.

The couple are not new to residential and commercial development design, including the sleek office/residential building where their business Hay Property and Studio Wainui is based.

Tackling a challenging project like the much-loved dairy factory was right up their alley and has been on the back of their minds for many years.

Like most historic buildings, the Dairy Factory is more than just bricks and mortar, she stores a lot of memories from her more recent history housing a surfboard manufacturer, car painters (now Bing Studio) and Raglan Joinery (Andreas’ business).

While ‘the old lady’ might be getting a spruce up, Hayden and Hayley are keen to retain her ‘olde world charm’ with the exterior remaining largely untouched.

“We definitely want to respect the building and celebrate it, but modernise it to make it comfortable to work in,” he says.

Longstanding tenants Monster Co and design and antique boutique, Rivet, have remained, and Sarah Bing recently moved Bing Studio into the finished downstairs eastern wing and artist Brad Dring - aka shortydubs has taken a studio space upstairs.

“Our vision is that this will become a special place for Raglan. And Sarah’s studio

is the first step towards building on what Monster and Rivet have established,” Hayden says.

“Having the combination of retail and manufacturing like Monster and Bing Studio is such a clever combination. Utilising their spaces for dual purpose is a great business model,” Hayley says.

The development will be a mix of different sized, multi-purpose spaces with a shared common area upstairs and down. A total of four upstairs and six down.

The couple’s 13-year-old daughter Rylee runs a pop-up cake shop on Saturday morning from a small shed between Rivet and Monster called BAKE. Providing small booths for this pop-up business style to test the market is a vision for the common spaces.

Hayden and Hayley are mindful of the wonderful legacy Andreas and his wife Susanne Giessen-Prinz have created at the Dairy Factory during their 38 years of ownership. It underpins their own vision of providing a hub of activity, from boutique retail and art studios and workshops to wellness therapists, exhibition space and food outlets.

“They’ve been very supportive of fledgling Raglan industry by providing spaces here for start-up businesses and we want to continue that,” Hayley says.

“And Andreas has supported us too, by giving us this opportunity and trusting us with his ‘old lady’,” Hayden adds.

For tenancy expressions of interest contact hey@hayproperty.co.nz.

THE MONSTER COMPANY Non-essential pottery to make you smile Dairy Factory Building, Wallis St

Rylee Vink, with her pop-up cake shop, Bake by Rylee.

The Raglan Dairy Cooperative was formed in 1905 and moved from its original lodgings at Kauroa near the old Okete Church to the larger and ‘modernised’ factory on Wallis St in 1915.

The building is listed with the Historic Heritage Trust for the wording on the gable only, and if damaged the replacement wording has to replicate the style and size of the wording.

S

arah Bing is the creative behind Bing Ceramics, the latest addition to the Dairy Factory.

Known for her large and small quirky sculptures, keep-cups, candles and other homeware, Sarah’s work pops with colour. She also hosts workshops for budding creatives to have a go at hand building or throwing a pot on the wheel.

It might be a dirty business but clay has been enjoying a surge in popularity as an artistic medium in the past few years, and Bing Ceramics is riding the pottery wave.

“People are more aware of where things come from and the impact that choosing to buy from corporate has on the world and the environment. There’s a growing number of educated consumers who want to buy things that have integrity.”

And every piece Sarah creates is uniquely Bing; awash with colour and joy, and handmade with love.

YOT CLUB LIVE GIG LEGACY FINDS NEW HOME AT HABOUR VIEW

by Janine Jackson

T

he YOT Club might have closed its doors to world-class live music recently but former owner Andy Meek is keeping its spirit alive.

What made the Yottie so unique was Andy’s ability to provide a mix of underground rock and roll, techno DJ sets and the popular summer Sunday Sessions.

Determined to continue that legacy in Raglan, Andy is taking his connections in the music world, both nationally and internationally, across the road to the Harbour View Hotel.

“I just went into the Harbour View to inquire about doing a little private gig, and we got talking and it’s just gone from there. It’s potential as a music venue is limitless,” he says.

Andy knows his stuff when it comes to live music having successfully run the YOT Club and Auckland venue Ink Bar for decades. And he added The Mothership to his stable of live venues a couple of years ago.

Fiona Gates and Paul Irwin bought the iconic pub in 2021, keen for it to be the centre of the community and Andy reckons it has all the makings of being an entertainment hub for Raglan.

“The area outside of the pub is amazing. It’s got a stage and a decent space for live gigs, and inside has a history as well,” Andy says.

“It’s been fantastic to see the garden being used for events and entertainment over the past couple of years and the back bar is also an excellent space for live music.”

It’s been more than 30-years since the emergence of musos like the Mudsharks playing regular gigs to packed out bars at the Harbour View.

Fiona and Paul have worked hard to bring the hotel back to life through various offerings of live music and weekly activities.

“Since taking over the hotel, Fiona has been adamant that the pub should be at the heart of the community in a village like this,” Andy says.

The three are enjoying working together to ensure the Harbour View is Raglan’s premier venue for live music; leveraging Andy’s contacts and promotion capability.

“I’ve booked legendary New Zealand acts The D4 and Racing, as well as crowd favourites Cindy, Strangely Arousing, Labretta Suede and Bloodbags.”

Australian band C.O.F.F.I.N who have gained a passionate following for their unique take on punk and rock music is confirmed for Waitangi weekend.

Other international acts lined up for the Harbour View include Japanese bands The King Brothers, Guitar Wolf and Alka Silka, US band The Schizophonics and another Australian band The Meanies.

As well as getting great live gigs back in town, Andy’s happy to see the Sunday Sessions rebranded as Seshing on Sunday and given a new lease of life at the Harbour View Hotel.

“I couldn’t have fought harder to keep the YOT Club open. I thought it was really important it stayed in Raglan, so it means a lot to me that the things that we did best of all have all found new homes.”

SALUTATIONS FROM SOUNDSPLASH

T

he team behind Soundsplash is excited to celebrate 24 years of Soundsplash festival, which strives to create a unique environment bringing together live music, art and culture.

We owe a huge thanks to the dedicated individuals who contribute to Soundsplash, including our diligent staff, contractors, and talented artists, not to mention the support from the Raglan community and beyond.

Converting green fields into a fully-fledged festival venue is no small feat, and we’re fortunate to enlist the help of committed Raglan locals each year. Their contributions range from extensive grass mowing to catering for our crew, stage setup, security, and ensuring the overall well-being of everyone involved.

A number of our departments are headed by familiar faces from the community and we also have some young locals, who once attended Soundsplash, stepping up into leadership positions which is always heartwarming to see.

As ususal, we expect the town population to swell over the summer period and especially during the weekend of our event which runs from 17-19 January 2025.

As festival organisers we are committed to continually enhancing the festival experience and we appreciate everyone’s patience during these busy summer moments.

ROCK-IT REOPENS FOR SUMMER DINING

RAISE A GLASS FOR RAGLAN VINE

by Janine Jackson

The crew behind the festival, from left, Deb King, Brian Thurogood and Carlene Wilson.

W

ine and beer lovers are in for a treat this summer as the inaugural Raglan Vine Festival hits the Raglan Town Hall on Saturday, February 8, from 1-5pm.

And you don’t have look far to find the latest in winemaking with Barrelled Wines of Raglan offering a taste of their range of small batch artisan wines from vines that were planted in 2018.

Also representing local producers, Workshop Brewery will be tempting beer-lovers with a selection of their finest alcholic and nonalcoholic award-winning brews.

The local producers will be joined by boutique, family-owned winery Takapoto Estate, located on the shores of Lake Karapiro, the New Plymouth urban winery Known Unknown, and Eketāhunabased Catalyst Fruit Wines. Adding an international flavour will be Sante Wines who represent small, family-run French wines as well as tastings from lesser-known regions.

On the food front, cheesemakers will be sharing their latest produce and insights into the world of cheesemaking. And for the gastronomes, there will be several food vendors, including Raglan Falafel to tempt the tastebuds between wine and beer tastings.

The team behind the festival, Deb King, Carlene Wilson and Brian Thurogood, each bring their own special skills to what they are calling a ‘pilot event’ to test the waters for an annual or biannual festival.

Deb and Carlene dreamed up the event while sitting on the deck and sharing a bevy. Deb, the former Creative Market coordinator, and Carlene, a wine merchant and consultant, called on Brian for his IT and marketing smarts. Together they designed a blueprint for this first festival which they hope will grow into a biannual event.

“If this proves to be popular, we would love to do a midwinter event as well,” Deb says.

One of the aims of Raglan Vine is to make wine a bit more accessible and interesting to people.

“The whole kaupapa is that wine shouldn’t be an elitist thing, it should be one of life’s pleasures. Making people feel comfortable with it is part of that,” Carlene says.

Helping demystify the world of wine, several vendors will share their wisdom and the Raglan Vine team expect attendees will gain unique insights into the artistry behind each vineyard.

Early Bird tickets are $50 until December 8, rising to $65.

Each ticket entitles you to a dozen 30ml tastings alongside wine sales with special discounts from the vendors, plus attendance at any discussion, and access to the Festival and Foodie Garden Bars.

R

efreshed Rock-it Bar & Eatery officially reopened in December for lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Sunday noon until late.

New manager/owner Maurice Montero has made his mark on the Hamilton foodie scene with several successful restaurants including Mr Pickles, and is known for developing complex flavours from simple seasonal ingredients.

The interior has been refurbished with a new bar and outside a children’s playground has been added in place of the old tractor.

Check out the new look and sample the contemporary menu which promises tasty seasonal delights.

INNOVATION ON THE WAVES: HUGHES SURFBOARDS X VERDURE SURF

W

from Raglan Surf Co

hen Luke Hughes of Hughes Surfboards first met Jack Candlish from Verdure Surf, he couldn’t have imagined where their collaboration would lead.

“If you had told me I’d one day shape a surfboard blank that’s light, balanced, easy to shape, and toxin-free—while also being sustainable—I’d have questioned it,” says Luke.

Jack’s journey into reinventing surfboard manufacturing is reshaping the industry. Together, they’ve crafted a revolutionary board using an upcycled EPS core, laminated with hemp cloth and a parabolic bendy ply rail. The deck features cork or wood options, while a plywood bottom adds strength. The finishing touch? A natural wax and oil seal, making the board not only watertight but also environmentally conscious.

For Luke, the construction’s unique flex properties and durability were immediately noticeable. “After the first surf, I was amazed by the board’s liveliness. It felt fast and responsive, with plenty of flex. I’m excited to push its limits on bigger, steeper waves,” he shares.

The board’s design combines elements from Luke’s popular models, creating something entirely new—a true Frankenstein of surfboard innovation. Beyond performance, it’s the shared commitment to sustainability that makes this collaboration stand out.

“The products we use to enjoy the ocean should protect it,” says Jack. It’s a philosophy woven into every step of the process, proving that cutting-edge performance and environmental responsibility can ride the same wave.

Hughes Surfboards and Verdure Surf’s partnership represents a promising shift in surfboard craftsmanship, inspiring surfers and makers alike to imagine a more sustainable future for the sport.

SAVE THE DATE FOR RAW 2025!

Our annual local arts trail - Raglan Arts Weekend

I

f you missed out on the fun this Raglan Arts Weekend (RAW), make sure you save the date for 2025: October 25–27. Our art community did us proud this year, with the programme including some awesome new styles of work, as well as creative workshops and immersive installations.

At RAW’s core is the open studio art trail, a bit like a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ through Whaingaroa. This year, visitors got to see over 65 of Raglan’s top artists, experiencing first-hand how they go about their mahi and getting a sneak peek into varying creative processes and artistic spaces.

The event has evolved through the years, adding more activities for both artists and visitors alike. The Hatch, an emerging artists incubator programme and exhibition sponsored by Rangitahi and Waikato District Creative Communities, has really focused on igniting the next wave of art talent. An Artist Connect programme, enabled by Bayleys Real Estate in Raglan, is also a central part of RAW now, with artists connecting with peers and clients through the bus tour and opening night cocktail party.

This year’s collaboration with Raglan’s first Country and Blues Music Festival was a brilliant addition, bringing lots of fun and a great vibe around town.

Registration for the event will open in March next year, so sign up to the RAW newsletter on the website to stay informed.

The RAW team is always on the lookout for committed partners and works closely with them to ensure they receive maximum exposure from the event. Please contact Nicky Brzeska, RAW Co-ordinator, if you’d like to be involved in the fun next year.

Raglan Arts Weekend is a Creative Raglan event brought to you by the Raglan Community Arts Council.

The charm of Raglan extends to its town centre, where public murals and sculptures reflect the creative energy of the community. Take a leisurely walk along the Raglan Wharf, a perfect spot to watch boats or simply enjoy the harbour’s tranquillity.

If you’re a wildlife lover, visit the Raglan Sand Dunes for birdwatching or explore the Te Kopua Beach Reserve, a serene area ideal for picnics and peaceful strolls. For those seeking inner peace, yoga or meditation on the beach, with the sound of waves as your soundtrack, is an unforgettable experience.

For an added touch visit the Raglan iHub to admire Shelley Rikys’ beautiful wall hangings showcasing her photos, which are available for purchase and for more free activities in Whāingaroa check out our iHub website: https://raglanihub.nz/activities/ Raglan’s beauty is in its unassuming simplicity, where nature, creativity, and community seamlessly come together. Whether it’s hiking a rugged trail, catching a wave, or sitting quietly by the shore, this coastal town offers moments of genuine enjoyment that don’t cost a thing.

The Raglan iHub is open 7 days a week 10am – 3pm located at 13 Wainui Road. Come in and visit our volunteering team who can help share their local knowledge with terrific tips of things to do and visit and shop local whilst supporting our local Whaingaroa information centre.

GREEN WAVE SURF SCHOOL Learn to surf!

T

he Local Rag caught up with Bing Lyons from Greenwave to hear about their surf school offerings this summer.

Green Wave has been up and running for awhile now?

Give us an update. How’s it all going?

We are actually just starting out our ninth summer.

It’s amazing how much support the Raglan community has shown, so we’d like to thank everyone for that. We’re also excited to see a lot of new faces in town with so many travelers arriving from overseas. We love teaching and sharing something we’re passionate about with our students. And we’ve had phenomenal feedback as well we’ve become the top-rated surf school in New Zealand. It’s nice to know that our students are having such a positive experience.

Who’s involved with the instructing?

There’s three of us that run Green Wave together: Zennor Wernham, Wes Rogers and Bing Lyons. Between the three of us we have over 30 years coaching experience. We also have a team of talented local surfers and former Raglan Surf Academy students helping us out through the busy months.

People say how difficult it is to surf but what do you say to those who have never surfed and want to give it a go?

Will they get up?

Everyone stands up on our lessons. We actually offer a stand-up guarantee or your money back, and so far we have a 100% success rate. We don’t really put any pressure on

our students. Sometimes they might feel a little nervous before we start, but we keep everything fun and relaxed.

Before they know it, they’re already up and riding a wave.

With free photos to prove it!

Do you offer any kind of kids camp/summer holiday programs?

We are running kids camps through the school holidays!

It’s a great way to introduce kids to surfing in a fun, safe environment. We offer weekly camps as well as daily drop ins to fit everyone’s schedule.

You offer daily lessons. Is it always at the same time?

Our lesson schedule is based on the best tides and conditions for each day. This ensures that our students surf at the safest time and the easiest tide for learning. This makes a huge difference in the quality of a lesson. We often run multiple lessons per day in order to keep group sizes

smaller. You can check the summer schedule on our website at www.greenwaveraglan.com Do you offer rentals as well?

Yes, we have a range of boards and wetsuits available for hire. Lots of soft-top beginner-friendly boards but also some good intermediate boards as well. You can ring us at 021 0841 3481 to inquire about rentals.

What can we expect from Green Wave this coming Summer?

Lots of happy surfers, whether they’re keen travelers or local kiwi families. Our aim is to keep the quality of the lessons very high, with emphasis on ocean awareness. We put a lot of energy into every lesson and it’s rewarding to see how excited our surfers get as their skills progress.

REVIEW: WHAINGAROA YOUTH MOVEMENT PRESENTS: LIFE ON MARS Words by Ruby Gibbs - Images by Molly McCabe

W

hāingaroa Youth Movement stunned again this year with their performance of Life on Mars; an odyssey to outer space and back again.

Patti Mitchley and her dancers took us on a haunting journey exploring our relationship to our planet. Business people marched through the streets to the capitalist drum. But earth wasn’t enough, so we explored creating a civilisation on Mars, before the aliens invaded.

Our return to earth was inevitable. However, upon touching down the dancers discovered that they were too late, planet earth was in ruin… what do we do now?

Whāingaroa Youth Movement performances are often a commentary on our relationship with the world around us, and this year was no different. We are teetering on the edge of destruction and only through conversation and community can we save our planet. The final dance to Exile by Taylor Swift and Bon Iver saw two groups of dancers grasping at each other, trying to see eye to eye. A fitting close to a pulsing, dark, energetic show.

The air hostesses were captivating. Decked in silver they opened the show to the Carpenters track, Calling Occupants, and also flew us home to earth after the aliens in a very moving, reflective piece. The little ones were also a standout. Purple people eaters joyfully creeped around the stage to a spooky intro before their 1950s track kicked in and we were treated to an air band and lip sync performance.

The soundtrack at a WYM show is always on fire and this year was no exception. This tracklist featured the Bowie classic, Space Oddity; The B-52s, Roam; and the heavy, pulsing Kanye West track, Beg Forgiveness.

Congratulations to Patti and the Whāingaroa Youth Movement crew on another thoughtful, creative and inspiring piece of performance theatre!

TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

by Ruby Gibbs - creator of the Mental Health Toolbox

K

ia ora everyone and a huge mihi to you all again for reading my column in 2024! This year I sat down with more of the beautiful people in Whāingaroa and chatted about all things mental health. I feel so much gratitude to be able to continue this work and bring these conversations into the open.

This year hasn’t been easy. The world has weighed heavy on my shoulders. I’ve been horrified and unable to watch videos of people being killed in Gaza, incredulous at the U.S. election of a convicted felon and shocked and scared at our own government’s choice to attack Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It’s a lot. There are days when it puts me on my knees and I don’t know what to do. Then, on better days, I turn to my community. It is the antidote.

One of the things that gives me hope is showing up for the people around me. I go to school and laugh with my students. I go out dancing with my friends. I collaborate with my mates and make weird, beautiful art. I let the wind blow through me as I walk along the beach.

I look around me and see generosity and kindness at every turn. It’s a reminder that, despite all the chaos and uncertainty in our world, here in Whāingaroa we can hold on tight to each other. In our little village we can try to foster manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga and whakawhānaungatanga.

In fact, community was a through line in many of my interviews this year. Emily talked about the way she would start with small conversations and how they led to friendships and now she has community all around her.

Conor talked about moving home and surrendering to the lifestyle and community out here. You get out what you put in. Ken repeats his mantra that life is all about other people. When there is so much suffering going on in the world, contributing tangibly to community and other people gives us something we can hold on to. We can see the positive impacts that it has on ourselves and the people around us.

We also talked a lot about letting ourselves feel it all.

Resa told us how she lets the feelings move through her.

It’s not about avoiding, it’s about letting it flow. Bailie passed on some advice she was given; pain demands to be felt, and we can’t escape that. Wanda reminded us that all the negative emotions we feel are trying to tell us something. She said she ‘laughs in the face of darkness.’ Those words have really stuck with me this year and have been a frequent reminder. Indigo talked about learning to feel her feelings and to have patience for her younger self. Jacky reminded us that surrendering is a big part of surviving. So, as we head into another busy summer, I will take these insights with me. I will be focusing on trying to change the things I can and surrendering to the things I can’t. I will be investing in my community and I will be enjoying the beautiful paradise that we get to call home. I hope you can all do the same!

As I move into my fourth year of writing this column, I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read my interviews, the people who have stopped me in the street with beautiful feedback and those who have shown so much awhi to the interviewees for their bravery and vulnerability. And of course I want to thank Resa, Conor, Indigo, Wanda, Ken, Emily, Jacky, and Bailie. Your contribution to this mahi is massive

and in publishing these conversations, we all contribute to a culture where we can talk more openly about our mental health.

With that, I say farewell to the mental health column for 2024. My dispatches may be less frequent in 2025 as I

return to uni to complete my teaching degree. But please reach out if you’re interested in getting involved with this kaupapa and I’ll see you all out and about over the summer.

Ngā mihi, Ruby

FOX CABINS Tiny Houses & Modular Homes

F

ox Cabins is now in their ninth year of business building cabins, tiny houses, and now consented modular homes from their permanent base in Raglan. In that time they have delivered over 100 unique buildings across the North and South Island, to as far away as Invercargill and Kaitaia. They have never built the same plan twice, as every project is custom designed and built to the client’s specifications and style.

Fox Cabins was started in Raglan, but they struggled to find a larger workshop locally as the company grew, so had to move from their ‘home base’ near Te Uku to manufacturing in Hamilton.

“Yeah, it was tough; commuting was a huge time and financial cost, along with feeling distanced from our friends and family in Raglan,” says owner Adam Fox. A few years later, when the opportunity came to purchase land in Raglan and build a specialised factory, Adam jumped at the chance. “Not only did this mean we could work near home, be active parents, partners, and add value to the Raglan economy, it also really cemented the financial stability of our company - which, on reflection, is probably what enabled us to weather the recent

34 | Raglan Summer Holiday Guide

economic downturn without any issue at a time when many other tiny home companies were having to shut their doors”.

The company really hit its stride after they were hired to design and build a custom cabin with a mezzanine for a client, and the ‘Fox Den Mezzanine’ cabin was born. “We took the design to the 2018 Fieldays and it was a fantastic success”.

The smaller and architecturally unique Fox Den Mezzanine became a launch-pad for Fox Cabins to invest in design, grow the company, build stronger relationships with suppliers, and move into the broader tiny home and small dwelling industry.

Another highlight for the business was the iconic ‘Everest’ tiny home on wheels. The design was originally created by a British architect for one of Adam’s clients, with the core concept being a ‘clean and simple AirBnB unit’. The Everest’s key features of a downstairs bedroom, a gable roof with striking beams, and clean Scandinavian simplicity really struck a chord with customers. “It had to be a space that had a really beautiful high-end look and feel.

All the while, this design had to be kept road legal in terms of size and weight. It was a real technical challenge to achieve, but we are so proud of this unique contribution to the market,” says Adam.

Fox Cabins delivered their first Everest in 2019, and

it has since become their instantly recognisable flagship model.

The Everest design has served the test of time, and Fox Cabins now offers a number of variations on it as base models from which customers can build on and personalise the design. These include the original 8M length model, ranging all the way through to a spacious 13.5M. In a further new offering for 2025, the Everest can also be built as a Council consented dwelling on piles, delivered and placed anywhere in NZ. It is this commitment to continual improvement in design, architecture, regulatory compliance, and community needs - that Adam says sets Fox Cabins apart. In addition to their popular tiny home range, the company has also invested heavily into becoming specialists in the field of small - to medium - sized modular council consented dwellings, with a large number of 40m2 – 85m2 projects either completed, presently under construction, or in the immediate pipeline. “From remote on-site, off-grid builds, to choppering-in two fully completed units to Kawau Island with a Black Hawk Helicopter, we’re up for any challenge, because we’ve got the competence and depth of experience to deliver when it counts – especially when it comes to dealing with the council”.

Fox Cabins is made up of a team of skilled licenced builders and journeyman cabinet makers who have many years’ experience of building tiny homes. The company is a Registered Master Builders Association company, and as the director, Adam remains committed to best practice and continuing professional development, always looking for ways to improve systems, methods, and designs.

A few weeks ago he returned from a trip to the USA where he revisited tiny home villages and builders he has met on previous trips to North Carolina and Colorado. Adam found that the American tiny house movement is shifting in the direction of ‘ADU’s’ (Accessory Dwelling Units), permanent small dwellings in the 40m2-60m2 range – and says we may see a similar shift here with the legislative

changes that the current government has signalled for 2025 in relation to ‘Granny Flats’ (that will make it easier to erect small secondary dwellings up to 60m2 in size without requiring council involvement).

“Look, the devil is in the detail,” Adam says, “and we eagerly await the legislation text to understand how the new scheme will actually work in practice, but we hope it will be a very positive change, reducing complexity and costs.”

For anyone eager to explore the possibilities of small- to medium-sized dwellings, cabins, tiny homes or baches, Fox Cabins is having an Open Day on Saturday 18th January 2025 (Soundsplash weekend), at which anyone will be welcome to come and discuss their potential future project.

The company also recently featured on the “Moving Houses” TV show on TVNZ, showcasing the build and delivery of a 13.5M long version of the Everest XL tiny home. Check it out OnDemand now!

While most of his team will be off enjoying the local surf over the Christmas break, Adam says he’ll be around – “I live and breathe this stuff, so if anyone wants to chat over the summer holidays, please feel free to call with any questions or enquiries.”

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS: HOME OWNERSHIP OPTIONS & LEGAL READINESS FOR 2025

by Hayley Willers, DTI Commercial and Property Director

A

s 2025 begins, it’s the perfect time to make resolutions that bolster your financial security and legal wellbeing. If buying a home is on your horizon, considering shared ownership and ensuring your estate planning documents are in order can be key steps toward a secure future.

1. Exploring Shared Ownership Options With high property prices, shared ownership with friends or family can be a viable path to home ownership. Pooling resources allows multiple buyers to access larger or more desirable properties than they could afford individually.

Key benefits include: • Enhanced Purchasing Power: Shared ownership makes it easier to secure properties in competitive markets.

• Shared Costs: Co-owners divide mortgage payments, insurance, maintenance, and other expenses, making home ownership more affordable.

•

•

Decision-Making Rules: Establishes how key decisions about the property will be made, including potential renovations or sale.

Exit Plan: Specifies how a party can sell their share, including first refusal rights for co-owners and property valuation methods.

3. Estate Planning Essentials Regardless of home ownership, having a current Will and Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA) is crucial for managing your affairs: • A Will: Essential for anyone holding assets in their own name. If your assets exceed $15,000, they will require either Probate or Letters of Administration for access after your passing. Without a Will, your loved ones must apply for Letters of Administration,

2. Importance of a Property Sharing Agreement Entering shared ownership requires clear agreements to avoid future disputes. A Property Sharing Agreement is essential for co-owners and serves as a legal safeguard.

Here’s what it should include: • Ownership Stakes: Clarifies the percentage each person owns, which is crucial if contributions are unequal.

• Financial Responsibilities: Outlines each party’s share of mortgage payments, insurance, and maintenance costs.

•

a more time-consuming and costly process. Having a Will ensures your wishes are respected and significantly reduces the legal burden on your family.

Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA): These documents allow trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. It’s wise to have separate EPAs for property matters and personal care.

4. Conducting a Legal Warrant of Fitness Your legal documents need periodic review, much like a vehicle’s warrant of fitness. Here’s how to stay current: • Review and Update Your Will: Major life changes such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child should prompt a review of your Will.

• Reassess EPAs: Confirm that your appointed attorneys are still suitable and willing to act.

• Verify Property Agreements: Ensure any Property Sharing Agreement remains aligned with the current circumstances, reflecting changes in financial contributions or co-ownership.

Make 2025 Count Set practical goals, such as “Draft a Property Sharing Agreement by March” or “Review and update my Will by mid-year.” Engage legal professionals early to streamline these processes, and share your plans with a trusted person for accountability. These actions lay the groundwork for a year where home ownership aspirations and estate planning align for peace of mind and future security.

EMPLOYMENT LAW CHECKLIST FOR THE NEW YEAR: A GUIDE FOR EMPLOYERS

by Jaime Lomas, DTI Employment Director

A

s the new year approaches, it’s an ideal time for businesses to ensure their workplace practices align with current legal standards and best practices.

Keeping up with employment law changes can help mitigate risks, maintain good employee relations, and foster a thriving work environment. Below is a tailored checklist for businesses to review and update their employment practices.

1. Review Employment Agreements and Policies • Ensure all employees have written employment agreements that comply with the Employment Relations Act 2000.

• Verify agreements include essential terms, such as: - Job descriptions.

- Hours of work.

- Wages or salary details.

• Review casual employees’ hours of work to ensure they still meet the legal test of a casual employee.

• Check that fixed-term employment agreements are compliant.

• Update workplace policies in line with best practice and legal updates.

• • •

Conduct a workplace risk assessment and address identified hazards.

Update policies to account for remote work health and safety obligations.

Provide regular training on workplace safety and emergency procedures.

4. Training and Development • Provide training on critical issues, such as: - Prevention of workplace bullying and harassment.

- Health and safety requirements.

- Cultural competency, particularly in understanding Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its relevance in the workplace.

• Develop leadership and upskilling programs to support employee growth.

6. Immigration Compliance • Check that all workers have the legal right to work in New Zealand and retain proper documentation (e.g., visa checks).

• Stay up to date on immigration changes, including updates to the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme.

2. Employee Leave Entitlements • Review compliance with statutory leave requirements under the Holidays Act 2003, including: - Annual leave (4 weeks per year) and public holidays.

- Sick leave (10 days per year after 6 months of continuous employment).

- Parental leave provisions under the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987.

- Domestic violence leave.

3. Workplace Health and Safety • Ensure compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA).

Jaime Lomas, DTI Employment Director

•

Ensure adherence to obligations under the Immigration Act 2009.

7. Performance Management and Disciplinary Processes • Review and update performance management systems to ensure fairness and transparency.

• Confirm disciplinary processes comply with natural justice principles and are clearly outlined in employment agreements or policies.

• Provide training to managers on how to handle performance or conduct issues appropriately.

9. Data Protection and Privacy • Ensure compliance with the Privacy Act 2020, particularly around collecting, storing, and sharing employee information.

• Update privacy policies and train staff on their responsibilities.

• Review cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive data, especially in remote or hybrid work environments.

10. Prepare for Legislative Changes • Monitor upcoming amendments to employment laws.

• Seek professional advice to prepare for significant legislative or regulatory shifts.

Conclusion Starting the year with a thorough review of your employment practices not only ensures legal compliance but also promotes a positive workplace culture. By addressing these key areas, employers can create a fair, safe, and productive environment for their teams. If you’re unsure about specific obligations, our employment law specialist team at DTI Lawyers is here to help and answer any questions you have.

F

or many locals, Russ Adams is a familiar name, with Russ having worked in Whāingaroa Raglan as a property manager for Ray White Raglan since 2009.

In late March, Russ and his wife Liza purchased the Ray White Raglan Rentals business they have been a part of for many years, and continue to operate out of the Ray White office at 21 Bow St, Raglan. With Liza working alongside Russ in the administration and accounts side, the team has also grown with Jasmin Fitzgerald joining the team as a property manager. Demand for rentals in Raglan remains consistently high as the town grows and more people look to enjoy the beautiful slice of paradise it offers, so investors should speak to our expanded team if you’re considering adding any much-needed stock to the rental market.

Russ and his team are proud to have a reputation as ethical property managers, they care deeply about the wellbeing of both their tenants and landlords, and it’s a reputation that can only be proven by long-term actions. By ensuring people feel valued and understood, and prioritising positive

communication, Russ and the Ray White Raglan team create long term relationships in healthy and happy homes - something Raglans landlords and tenants equally benefit from.

The comprehensive management service is the core product on offer and takes care of almost all aspects of tenancy management, because there’s a lot to managing property properly! Initially, it’s listing for rent on multiple websites, arranging viewings, tenancy selection and screening, bond lodgements and compliant tenancy documentation, and undertaking thorough entry inspections. Once your tenant is placed, everything that comes next is also taken care of - rent collection and arrears management (if required), maintenance and general property care, invoice payments on your behalf, and of course communication and acting as the first point of contact for tradesmen and tenants at all times.

Alongside this Ray White Raglan also offer their “Ray White Choice” product range, being a suite of one-off services designed specifically for DIY private landlords. Some landlords prefer to remain in control of their tenancy yet also struggle with

some of the day to day work this involves - and these products are designed to help just that. For those who prefer to self-manage there is plenty of support on offer - from helping secure a tenant and set up a new tenancy, conduct initial or 3-monthly routine inspections, general advice and consulting, or even managing your rent and arrears - all while you remain 100% in charge as the landlord.

Getting the right fit between both tenants and property is the most important aspect for everyone involved and helps prevent almost all future issues.

Our broad product range, thorough processes, years of experience, and specific local knowledge make this a stress-free process.

If you’re looking for a rental in Raglan it’s easy to view, book, or apply for any of our available properties at rwraglan.co.nz or the major listing sites such as Trade Me and realestate.co.nz Contact Russ and the team today at rentals. raglan@raywhite.com, call 0210 200 7665, or pop in and see us, we’d love to hear from you!

O

ver summer, Raglan’s beautiful beaches are the place to be for locals and visitors alike. But it’s important that we take care of our coast while having fun in the sun – our sand dunes are super important but very fragile.

Sand dunes help protect beaches from coastal erosion and sand inundation caused by a combination of massive storms and high tides.

Native dune plants kōwhangatara (Spinifex sericeus) and pīngao (Ficinia spiralis) trap wind-blown

sand, building a natural buffer in the coastal margin and allowing dunes to self-repair following big storm events.

These special plants support the natural cycles of erosion and accretion, and we need to support them when we’re in their environment – they may be tough enough to survive the harsh coastal environment, but they’re also very fragile and can be killed just by walking on them.

More than 75 per cent of our region’s beaches have been modified or destroyed by removal, grazing or trampling of native plants.

When dune plants are destroyed,

the dunes and land will continually erode and be lost to the sea.

Hundreds of volunteers work hard to restore and protect the coast here in Whāingaroa.

The Coastcare-Waikato programme aims to protect and restore the West Coast’s precious coastal areas.

Please help us protect our special coastal places by sticking to the tracks and staying off the dunes this summer.

Coastcare work in the Waikato is undertaken in partnership with iwi, local community, Waikato District Council, Department of Conservation and Waikato Regional Council.

To find out more, check out Coastcare Waikato on Facebook and Instagram. Keen to volunteer?

Planting events will be posted for the next planting season from May 2025. Let’s care for our coast together.

REUSABLE RAGLAN THANKS FOR KEEPING IT RAGLAN

Raglan is recognised across Aotearoa New Zealand for our beautiful environment, innovative local businesses and championing of zero waste. However, we still send the size of approximately 60 fridges worth of materials to landfill each week, and this number doubles over summer as our visitor numbers swell. There are lots of items put into landfill bags and bins which we could reduce, reuse, compost or recycle. As a Raglan local or visitor, we would love your continued support in helping to reduce unnecessary waste to landfill, and support choosing #reusableraglan as the Raglan way.

HEADING INTO TOWN?

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES A CUP MAKE? It might seem small, but if we all bring just one reusable cup for one coffee or ice cream over summer then that’s over 3,000 single use items per day we’ve saved from clogging up our bins. It’s up to 10,000 + with our visitors joining the momentum for reuse, and if we all continue to remember and normalise #reusableraglan as the Raglan way.

When heading out and supporting our local businesses, bringing reusable keepcups and takeout containers drastically reduces the waste clogging up public street litter bins.

‘Compostable/biodegradable’ cups and packaging can’t be recycled or composted in Raglan, so sit down or BYO container to enjoy by the beach!

5-7pm EVERY FRIDAY

‘Compostable’ cups and packaging can be toxic Another motive for choosing reusable items we already have over singleuse items is that there is mounting evidence of the toxicity of plastic and compostable packaging. These can contain additives known to be persistent organic pollutants, carcinogens, endocrine/hormonal or immune disruptors, or microplastic polymers. There are a huge range of single-use products that have been developed, and regulations and composting certification systems haven’t kept pace with the range of potential additives or innovations out there, nor are packaging companies required to disclose what’s in their packaging. Reusing is safest.

60 acres - new home - empty Here is a fantastic opportunity to own a decent parcel of land with a near new home, so near new in fact, the home still retains that new home smell. The near new Signature Home sits on the slopes of Mt Karioi and has views that need to be seen and felt to realise just how special they are. Consisting of 4 bedrooms, master with ensuite, large open plan dining/ kitchen, a generous lounge and double internal access garaging, the slate is clean for the next owners to turn this house into a home. The home is empty, the owners want it sold and the opportunity is now, so put an hour aside to come and see what all the fuss is about.

Surrounded by farmland, the Newton Homestead was originally built to capture the very best views of the Bridal Veil Falls and her surrounding reserve and to this day she arguably still retains this honour. There are plenty of other fantastic vistas from vast limestone bluffs to parts of Aotea and Kawhia harbours as well as the ever changing and somewhat moody Mt Karioi. The home consists of 4 bedrooms, a huge lounge, old style kitchen plus ample shedding. She may require some re-piling at some stage and the roof may require attention on your restoration journey, but those with vision and a willingness to see her looking her best will appreciate that the potential here is immense.

Value for money here so make an appointment to view today.

On its own freehold section, this well-maintained character cottage offers a charming, private retreat. Bursting with personality, this quirky coastal home is perfect for family living or a weekend getaway. With three bedrooms, a spacious lounge, and a selection of covered outdoor areas for relaxing and entertaining, the seamless indoor-outdoor flow enhances the laid-back, artistic vibe that embodies the essence of Raglan. For water lovers, Cox Bay is just a few hundred meters away, is ideal for an evening stroll or an early morning kayak, whether you're fishing or simply enjoying a peaceful paddle. This home has largely been used as an Air BnB so there is an option to continue this option.
