Students chefs avo go As thousands of people dance, eat and drink up the vibes at tomorrow’s Katikati Avo Fest at Uretara Domain, a group of Katikati College students would be doing the hard yards behind the scenes helping to cater for the event. But the gig was more than just cooking, it’s a chance to dive into the real-life
world of hospitality, which could spark a first step toward a lifelong passion or career. Year 10 students Alexis Cook, Dani Hudson and Pippa Meekings, pictured, were among the group of eight that would get turns at being rotating souschefs to work alongside Kiwi celebrity
chef Chelsea Winter at her cooking demonstrations inside the festival’s kitchen marquee. They would serve up their food to corporate tent guests. Katikati College hospitality department head Karyn Williams said the experience would show her students there was so much more to hospitality than cooking or
making coffee. “Seeing it come to life through a professional like Chelsea makes it real – students witness the creativity, discipline, and teamwork involved, and many walk away thinking: ‘I could do this’. Read more on page 3. Photo / Merle Cave

Sole twilight concert on January 31 Katikati will only host one twilight concert this year – on January 31 – and it’s hoped the district would attend so the non-profit group behind it could revert to three events next year.
If this month’s event was not wellsupported, Katikati Twilight Concerts chair Jane Watson-Baker said the committee might have to put the series into recess. Three Twilight Concerts were usually held each summer on a purpose-built permanent stage in the Haiku Reserve in Katikati, Watson-Baker said. Proceeds raised from the events goes back into supporting local arts students pursue their dreams. “Going for more than 25 years, they have raised more than $200,000 for arts scholarships for local students going on to tertiary study and grants to local community groups,” Watson-Baker said. Recent years have proved difficult for the series. When Covid-19 placed stringent limitations on crowd sizes, the committee had to cancel a series. Weather – Cyclones Hale and Gabriel – then stymied the 2023 series, causing more cancellations. “Cancellation of a concert not only means no funds raised but is, in fact, a drain on resources, as up to 50% of costs must still be paid,” Watson-Baker said. Lower crowd numbers in the last few years also hadn’t helped the situation. So, this year the committee opted to host one concert – starring Tony Lewis,
Tony Lewis and the real Robbie Williams. Photo / Supplied
the UK’s premier Robbie Williams Tribute act – on January 31.
Survival hinges on support
“It is only with community support that our Katikati Concerts will be able to continue,” Watson-Baker said. “So, let’s all help to make this single summer concert the event to remember.” January 31’s concertgoers were in for a musical treat. For the past two decades, Lewis has turned heads and wowed audiences worldwide with his portrayal of Britain entertainer Robbie Williams. After making his debut in ‘Legends’ in 2002, he’d continued leaving onlookers asking: ‘Is that really…?’” Lewis’ show covered all Williams’ greatest hits, with a few special surprises thrown in for good measure.
Watson-Baker said she expected the show would take the audience on a journey of the old favourites, a hint of swing, right up to the modern classics and the sound of a certain boy band. “Constantly rebooked, this tribute show has something for anyone and everyone. The looks, the moves, the voice, the ego... This show has it all!” Katikati Twilight Concerts’ Robbie Williams Tribute act starring Tony Lewis would be on January 31 at the Haiku Reserve. Gates open 5pm, with the concert at 6pm. Tickets cost adults $30, and under-15s gain free entry with a paying adult, from the Arts Junction, 36 Main Rd, Katikati; online at: www.theartsjunction.org.nz/ twilight-concert-tickets-2026 or pay cash on the gate.

Students to cook with celebrity chef As people get ready for tomorrow’s avo fest, eight Katikati College students will be workinghard in a hot summer kitchen to prepare food to be served at the festival.
The Year 10-13 students are catering food for corporate tent guests and as well as rotating as sous-chefs for Kiwi celebrity chef Chelsea Winter’s cooking demonstrations inside the kitchen marquee. Katikati College hospitality department head Karyn Williams said her previous classes had catered for events run by Katch Katikati, which got in touch about this weekend’s opportunity. “Many of my students are considering hospitality as a career, so opportunities like this provide authentic, hands-on learning,” Williams said. “It’s exciting, and those involved will leave with a real buzz from contributing to a local event.”
Samples prep
Katikati Avo Fest is on from noon-6pm at Uretara Domain offering six hours of summer vibes with live music, fine food and beverages, kid’s entertainment and culinary demonstrations. For the college group, the work started today, January 9, at their school’s food technology kitchen. Williams said she hand-picked eight Year 10-13 students for the experience, plus former student Hamish Tanner to lend a hand. “On January 9 we’ll be inside our college kitchen prepping food for Chelsea
Katikati College Year 11 Emma Turton, Year 10 Alexis Cook, former student Hamish Tanner, and Year 10s Dani Hudson and Pippa Meekings will each get to be sous-chefs for celebrity chef Chelsea Winter inside kitchen marquee. Photo / Merle Cave
[Winter]. On the day she will cook each of her dishes with one student. The samples of Chelsea’s dishes that we make will be given to kitchen marquee visitors.” Students would be on-site tomorrow at the festival from 11am-5pm in chef uniforms on what’s typically a very hot day. It’s high-energy, fast-paced work – but that’s why Williams wanted her students involved.
Authentic
Celebrity chef Chelsea Winter.
“It’s authentic,” Williams said. “In our space [at the college] we can only teach to a certain level but when they take those skills out into a real-life work scene and add time pressure, heat and expectations of clients that’s really important. “We always do events in our school at hospitality level that are authentic – but this is a great opportunity outside of our school grounds,” Williams said. Former Katikati College student Hamish Tanner, who’s now studying food technology and science at Otago University, had been brought back to school to guide the group. “I miss school
so much so to have this opportunity to come back and help is like being a kid in a lolly store,” he said. Year 10 students Pippa Meekings, Dani Hudson and Alexis Cook – who are part of the catering group – were both excited and nervous to meet and cook with Winter, who’s one of New Zealand’s topselling cookbook authors with eight titles published. “These are some of my star Year 10 students from 2025 – and I hope they will take hospitality this year, so it’s a great opportunity for them,” Williams said.
Step up
Year 11 student Emma Turton, who studied hospitality with Williams last year – and did “an incredible job” – was also part of the team. “She’s very particular with detail,” Williams said. “I’ve handpicked people that I know will really step up.” On the day students will be set up in their own Katikati College marquee. “We’ve got our own space. It’s a busy day and it will be fun,” Williams said. Winter had passed on her recipes she’d create
in front of audiences inside the kitchen marquee, which the students would need to replicate the day prior. Winter would offer flatbreads with avo and whipped feta; Vietnamese-style poached chicken and avocado salad; hot smoked salmon and avocado cups; and decadent orangechoc mousse. Tanner had tried the orange-choc mousse. “It’s delicious, and really quick and easy,” he said. “The recipes are very suited to the vibe, the day and the weather. The flavours are very summery and avocado-inspired.” Williams said the event would show students that there was so much more to hospitality than cooking or making coffee. “Seeing it come to life through a professional like Chelsea makes it real – students witness the creativity, discipline, and teamwork involved, and many walk away thinking: ‘I could do this’. That spark of possibility can be the first step toward a lifelong passion or career.” Find out more about the festival at: Merle Cave www.KatikatiAvoFest.co.nz

Katikati Youth Park step closer Plans to transform Katikati’s Moore Park skatepark into a larger, familyfriendly Youth Park have taken a big leap forward, with two major milestones reached late last year. Western Bay of Plenty District Council (WBOPDC) Reserves and Amenities team signed a Deed of Agreement with the Katikati Community-Led Development (KCLD) Steering Group to develop a new youth park complex beside the existing skatepark on Fairview Rd. At the same time, fundraising efforts led by KCLD on behalf of local rangatahi (youth) passed the $100,000 mark lateNovember – with two-thirds gained of the $150,000 needed to complete the initial stage of the project. Council staff would now begin consulting with immediate neighbours on Fairview Rd who may be affected by the development before a final design concept is agreed between council and the KCLD Steering Group. Support for the Youth Park had been building steadily in second half of 2025, said KCLD spokesman John Bothwell. Funding and backing had come from TECT, Powerco, Hume Growers, the Department of Internal Affairs, WBOPODC via a community board grant, and local service clubs such as Rotary. Bothwell said the signing of the Deed of Agreement marked the start of a new, more public phase of the project. “Now
that the DOA is completed, we can really step up our efforts to seek funding support from local businesses, organisations and families.”
Family-friendly
Bothwell said the main focus was to make the site more family-friendly while staying true to what local young people had asked for. The project was shaped by extensive consultation with a youth leadership group, including two full-day workshops to ensure the park delivered what young people wanted in a recreational space and provided a safe, inclusive environment. The first stage of construction would centre on creating spaces where families could relax and spend time together, Bothwell said. A new covered BBQ area, picnic tables and extra seating were planned, along with a new half-court basketball space and sunshade structures over parts of the skate bowl to make the area more usable yearround. Alongside the existing skatepark, a wish list was developed for additional play features, including equipment for younger youth such as a swing set, a flying fox, slides and climbing structures for different age groups, plus sensory play elements and cargo nets. These additions were intended to create a layered play environment where children and teenagers of different ages can all find something to enjoy, Bothwell said. Council would provide essential infrastructure including water, power and sewerage connections, and would install
a new toilet block to double the current capacity on-site.
Fresh paint
Bothwell said the KCLD Steering Group was also working with Katikati Open Air Art and Tauranga-based mural artist Kalib Wallace on a joint project to bring fresh colour and creativity The project was shaped by extensive consultation with a youth to the site. leadership group, including two full-day workshops to ensure the “The skate bowl will park delivered what young people wanted in a recreational space be repainted, new and provided a safe, inclusive environment.

Wave of retirements set to reshape avocado orchards New Zealand’s avocado industry is preparing for a significant generational shift as a large proportion of growers approach retirement age. A new Rabobank white paper shows that more than half of all New Zealand farmers and orchard owners—around 17,320 people—would reach age 65 within the next decade. With current land values, this represented more than $150 billion in assets that would soon require effective succession planning. NZ Avocado chief executive Brad Siebert said this demographic shift brought both challenges and opportunities for the sector. He noted that farming and horticultural businesses, including avocado orchards, would undergo major changes in how they’re owned, financed, and managed. Many existing growers were already navigating this transition: some were working through succession with family members, while others were considering selling, scaling back, or partnering with larger entities to remain competitive. Where family succession was possible, new generations often brought fresh perspectives—particularly around technology adoption, sustainability practices, and diversified revenue streams. However, where succession was not feasible, consolidation was becoming more likely. Larger corporatestyle businesses or alternative land uses may increasingly replace family-owned orchards. Siebert emphasised these shifts would influence the dynamics of industry decision making. Investment, efficiency,
and land use patterns were likely to evolve further, shaped by regulatory compliance requirements, productivity pressures, and access to finance. Grower confidence in future returns would also influence how rapidly change occurred. What matters most, Siebert said, was ensuring the voices of all growers— whether they manage two hectares or fifty—continue to be heard. As ownership structures transform, the industry’s role must be proactive, supporting growers through the transition rather than simply reacting to it. The future of the avocado sector, he added, will be defined not just by who owns the orchards but by how growers choose to run their businesses and care for the land.
Strong relationships
Collaboration will be critical. Siebert believed that strong relationships across the industry would help keep the avocado sector resilient, informed, market driven, and connected to its roots. Adapting well to upcoming change, he said, would determine the success of the next chapter. Rabobank New Zealand chief executive Todd Charteris reinforced the scale of the challenge. Succession, he noted, was not a single event but a long term process requiring planning, discussion, and adaptability. Traditional succession models—passing the farm directly to children—are under pressure, and new models are emerging to help families stay connected to their land. The white paper’s data showed only one in three farmers had a formal
succession plan. A further 17% have talked about succession inform mally but documented nothing. Haalf of all farmers have neither discussed d nor begun planning. At the same time, while one-third intend to passs their farm on to their children, neaarly 40% say none of their children are seriously interested in farming. For you unger generations, the idea of taking over the family business often com mes with significant pressure, long-term m debt, and exposure to volatility. Despite these barriers, Raboobank noted that financial obstacles have stabilised somewhat in recent years, though challenges remain due to increasing farm m scale and the need for greaterr margins. The white paper highlighted emerging models— hybrid ownership, corporate structures, and Māori incorporations—as viable wayys for families to maintain ties to the land while sharing riskk and opportunity. Charteris said many farmers have been thinking about succession for years, and almost all wish they had started earlier. Unlocking new pathways, he believed, would be key to enabling the next generation of New Zealanders to participate meaningfully in the country’’s agricultural future.
