Spark in the Park! Katikati boy JD Kruger, 9, is getting ready for Katikati’s first free and accessible fireworks event on November 6. Spark in the Park will transform Moore Park into a free, family-friendly fun hub from 5pm. The evening will include an outdoor movie and a fireworks display plus food trucks selling delicious
cuisines and beverages, and stalls offering event accessories. One stall will be run by youth, including JD, from Katikati Community-Led Development (KKCLD) selling glow sticks. JD said he can’t wait for the event! “I hope lots of my friends come along!”
Hosted by Katch Katikati, promotions manager Jacqui Knight said the whole community is invited to the relaxed evening of connection and community. She encouraged event-goers to arrive at 5pm – with the outdoor screening of Despicable Me 4 beginning in daylight. “For fireworks, we need it to
be dark – so the movie will play first.” Knight said the evening will finish with a professionally managed fireworks display delivering colour, light and excitement across the night sky. “Gather your whānau, bring your picnic blankets, chairs and get ready!” Read more on page 4. Photo / Merle Cave

He has more than 20 years’ experience in the global energy sector in New Zealand and the United States. Streeter said the Fish & Game role brought together his lifelong passion for hunting and fishing with his experience leading organisations in complex sectors. “For me, hunting and fishing are more than hobbies, they are a way of life.

Community centre’s manager resigns Katikati Community Centre’s general manager Nicky Austin has resigned and will head into the Bay of Plenty’s rowing world next year.
Austin this week said her last day as general manager will be December 11. She will start a position with BOP Rowing Association and Rowing New Zealand as BOP coachforce regional rowing coach in January. Unknown to some, Austin rowed for New Zealand from 1998 to 2008, went to two Olympic Games and was a 2005 world rowing champion.“I actually didn’t start rowing until I was 23.” She’s coached rowing at Tauranga Boys’ College for the past three years. “Rowing has been a big part of my life for many years, so I’m really looking forward to this next chapter.” Austin’s involvement with Katikati Community Centre began when she became a trustee of Katikati Community Centre Charitable Trust in 2019. “The [general manager] role came up, and I thought I’d like to apply for it.” She was in the job by February 2024 after resigning as a trustee. Austin has run the centre for nearly three years, managing five full-time and two part-time staff plus up to seven school holiday programme staff and 30-odd volunteers.
programme with four staff, including Austin, from 2022. In June it ceased after the centre didn’t secure a new MSD contract. “Working with the rangatahi [youth] at Poutama and watching them change their lives…what a privilege to be part of it,” she said. In February Austin told Katikati News that many rangatahi who arrived at Poutama had a sense of what they wanted for their future but struggled to put it into words because it felt overwhelming or out of reach. Others simply didn’t know what steps to take. “We often see young people who’ve lost confidence or

Special place
Under her leadership the centre has offered a wide range of information, services and support in education, social services, health and wellbeing services to the community. “The past nearly three years have been incredibly fulfilling, and I’ve really valued the opportunity to work alongside so many wonderful people and organisations who are committed to making a positive difference in our community,” Austin said. “Katikati is a special place, and I’ll always be proud to be part of it and passionate about its future.”
Poutama
Her favourite part of the job was working with such an “incredibly talented” staff who were “passionate about their jobs and do them so well”. Her second biggest achievement was running Katikati’s Poutama - Pathway Into Employment programme from 2022 to June this year. The centre held a funding contract with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to run the

become quite isolated. A big part of what we do is rebuild that sense of belief and connection. Walking through the door can feel daunting at first, but once they’re here, they quickly realise this is a safe and supportive space.”
The glue
Last month, for an awareness campaign by five local community centres, Austin said she felt Katikati’s centre was the glue that held the community together. “There are so many things that we provide people that increases their quality of life.” She believed a community was only as successful as the way it took care of its most vulnerable. “That’s how I see it. There has to be a mechanism for looking after the people that struggle to look after themselves for whatever reason...”
On her departure, Austin said the centre was “really well placed with the team that we’ve got to be able to support the community for a long time yet”. “We’ve got a lot of diversity in what we do and the different contracts that we have. There are just a couple of areas that are absolutely crucial services that we supply that we can’t stop doing, because the demand is so high, but the funding is not there.”
Community advocate
For example, the community advocate role. “This is working with elderly, with people at the most risk of getting themselves into a terrible position. “Rochelle Morrow, our community advocate, over the course of a few hours can really help them out, point them
in the right direction, get them the assistance they need – whereas before they were completely stuck and that issue was dominating their lives.” Funding the centre’s basic operations was also vital. “It’s really important that we’re able to pay our staff properly; then ongoing running of the centre is always expensive. We’re always trying to find funding and the costs are always rising.” Katikati Community Centre Charitable Trust’s new chair Carole Parker said Austin’s knowledge, expertise and skills, together with her commitment and understanding of the community, had been invaluable to the centre.
Real difference
“Her leadership, guidance and ability to work collaboratively have supported the team to deliver services that make a real difference to people’s lives,” Parker said. “She leaves behind a strong contribution to the centre and the wider Katikati community, and we are grateful for the dedication and experience she has brought to her role.” Parker said the trust is actively working towards appointing a new general manager before the end of the year. “This will ensure a smooth transition, allowing the incoming general manager to build on the work Nicky has undertaken and maintain continuity in the services and support the centre provides to the Katikati community,” Parker said.

AvoFest takes a break for 2027 Rising costs and economic pressures have forced Katikati’s popular AvoFest to take a year-long break in 2027, with organisers planning a “refreshed and revitalised” return in 2028.
Trevor Burgess, chair of the Katikati FunFest Charitable Trust, said the decision not to hold a festival next year was not taken lightly and was made after looking at several alternatives. “The festival sector in New Zealand is very challenging at present, as
demonstrated by the cancellation or closure of several major events around the country. “AvoFest has become an annual event valued by both the local community and visitors, and we recognise the disappointment this break may cause.” However, Burgess said the costs of delivering a successful event had risen significantly. “At the same time, ongoing economic pressures are creating additional challenges for community events, sponsors, businesses and organisers. “An important factor in the decision

was also the inability to agree on a management contract that would provide a sustainable way to address those increasing costs and financial pressures.” He said while the break was disappointing, the trust believed it was the “responsible decision” to protect AvoFest’s long-term future. “We want AvoFest to continue for many years to come rather than compromise its future by attempting to deliver the event under increasingly difficult financial and management conditions.” The 2027 pause would allow organisers to review the event and consider how AvoFest could best serve Katikati and the wider community going forward. Burgess said the trust would review the festival’s format, management, funding, partnerships and activities, aiming to
create a sustainable and exciting AvoFest for the future. The plans were to bring the AvoFest back in 2028, with the chance to “refresh and revitalise” the event while retaining elements that make it a “much-loved” part of the Katikati calendar. “The organisers thank the many volunteers, sponsors, local businesses, community organisations, performers, suppliers and supporters who have contributed to AvoFest over the years. “Their involvement has been fundamental to AvoFest’s success, and we hope they will join us again in 2028 ... we will be working hard to be back in 2028.” Burgess said more information about AvoFest’s future would be shared as it developed.

CCTV Fund opens for Western Bay communities
Is there a public space in your community where a CCTV camera could make a difference?
Western Bay of Plenty District Council has announced applications are now open for its CCTV Fund, with $50,000 available to support new cameras in shared public spaces across the district. The fund is aimed at helping deter crime and anti-social behaviour while strengthening the CCTV (closed circuit television) network across the Western Bay. During the past five years, it has supported the installation of 29 new cameras, the council said. Proposed cameras must be in shared public spaces and cannot be on private property. Applications are considered by a panel including councillors, council operations manager Kerrie Little and a New Zealand Police representative. “CCTV cameras can provide an extra level of reassurance in the places people
use every day,” Little said. “It’s one part of the bigger picture when it comes to looking after our shared spaces, and having cameras in the right locations can also provide useful information when incidents do occur. “We’re keen to hear from communities about where they see a need and why they think a camera would be worthwhile.” For full details and to apply, visit: westernbay.govt.nz/cctvfund. Applications close 5pm, November 8. Completed forms can be emailed to: strategic.property@westernbay.govt.nz (subject 2026 CCTV Fund) or dropped off at a library and service centre at Waihī Beach, Katikati, Ōmokoroa, Barkes Corner or Te Puke. The council said the CCTV Fund was an outcome of its Long Term Plan 20212031, with the district’s five community boards showing strong support for this initiative. Due to demand, the $50,000 annual fund was extended for another three years in the Long Term Plan 2024-2034.

New water rules for BOP boaties New rules for Bay of Plenty boaties have come into play this month.
The changes are part of Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Regional Council’s Navigation Safety Bylaw 2024, and aim to improve safety across the region’s harbours, lakes and rivers. The most significant change requires all people aboard recreational vessels under six metres in length to wear a lifejacket while the vessel is underway. The rule applies to kayaks, paddleboards, dinghies, jet skis and other small recreational craft. Bay of Plenty Harbourmaster Jon Jon Peters said in a media release that lifejackets remained one of the simplest ways to prevent deaths on the water. “Lifejackets save lives. In 2025, 17 people died in recreational craft incidents on New Zealand waters. Sadly, 12 of those peoplle were not weariing a lifejjackket,”” Peters said. The regional rule aligns with a new national lifejacket requirement that came into force on October 9. Changes have also been introduced in
Tauranga Harbour, where anchoring and mooring in the shipping channel will no longer be permitted. The council said the move is intended to improve safety for all harbour users by giving large ships more room to manoeuvre. Drift fishing and trolling motors will still be permitted within the channel. In Ōhiwa Harbour, new speed rules will allow powered vessels to travel above five knots, up to a maximum of 20 knots, within a designated transit area when it is safe to do so. A separate speed uplift area has also been established for vessels crossing the harbour entrance and bar. The existing five-knot speed limit will remain in place elsewhere. Boaties are also warned that some infringement fines will increase under the new bylaw. The council is encouraging people to famiiliariise th hemsellves wiith h th he upd dated d rules before heading out on the water this summer.

Opureora Wharf to receive $2.9m upgrade

Matakana Island’s Opureora Wharf is getting a $2.9 million upgrade. The Government is investing $2.01m from the Regional Infrastructure Fund. The work will upgrade the island’s only vehicle and freight gateway, built in the 1980s. Regional Development Minister Shane Jones said in a media release Matakana Island, home to about 320 residents, had no road connection to the mainland and relied on the wharf for freight, supplies, workers and essential services. The island’s economy is based largely on forestry, dairy farming and horticulture. Jones said the wharf, named after Opureora Marae, played a vital role in the community and island economy. “For the people and businesses of Matakana Island, this wharf is not a niceto-have. It is their lifeline and the gateway for the island’s economic growth,” he said. The total $2.9m project will extend the seawall, widen and seal the loading area, formalise loading and parking areas, improve stormwater management,
and install safety barriers and associated roading improvements. Associate Minister for Regional Development Mark Patterson said the investment would also protect the coast below Ōpureora Marae from erosion while improving island access. “By removing a long-standing bottleneck, it will make daily operations at the wharf safer and more efficient, and give the community a more dependable connection to the mainland,” he said. The project has been championed by the Ōpureora Marae Committee. It will be delivered by Western Bay of Plenty District Council in partnership with the committee and local landowners. Additional funding will come from the Māori Climate Platform, which previously announced $700,000 towards the seawall works, while Western Bay of Plenty District Council has contributed $200,000. The project is expected to support about 19 fulltime equivalent jobs during construction. Work is scheduled to begin in late 2026.

Free, family-friendly fun to light up Katikati! Katikati will light up with a new, free, family-friendly event next month as Spark in the Park comes to life on November 6 at Moore Park from 5pm to 9pm. Hosted by Katch Katikati, the event will offer an evening of free family entertainment that includes an outdoor movie and a fireworks display plus food trucks selling delicious cuisines and beverages, and stalls offering event accessories such as glow sticks. Katch Katikati promotions manager Jacqui Knight said the whole community is invited to come along for the town’s first free and accessible fireworks event. Spark in the Park will transform Moore Park into a hub of fun from 5pm. There will be a free outdoor movie on a big screen, delicious food for sale at on-site food trucks, and stalls selling event accessories such as glow sticks. “Whether families choose to pack a picnic and enjoy a relaxed evening on the grass or make a night of it with dinner from the incredible selection of food trucks, there will be something for every age and budget,” Knight said.
Get there 5pm!
She encouraged event-goers to arrive at 5pm – with the outdoor screening of Despicable Me 4 beginning in daylight, thanks to an LED screen set up by Vivid Productions of Tauranga.
“The screen will be placed on the back of a truck supplied by Tanners Spraying Ltd. For fireworks, we need it to be dark – so the movie will play first. We didn’t want a music act because in a month’s time we have Christmas in the Park.” Knight said the evening will finish with a professionally managed fireworks display by Van Tiel Pyrotechnics, delivering colour, light and excitement across the night sky. Katikati Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Katikati Red Cross will be on-site for safety reasons. Katch Katikati said the event was designed with a strong family focus and aims to provide a safe, welcoming environment where the community can come together and celebrate. As such, BYO alcohol is strictly prohibited. Knight said her team had come up with the event from community feedback on social media.
A first!
“Last year around Guy Fawkes [time] there was a post on one of the Katikati Facebook pages asking our community what they thought: should there be public displays or should they be banned? There was an overwhelming response that public sales of fireworks should be banned, and the town has a public display instead. “I thought, ‘Well, why not? That’s a good idea. Let’s do one’. We haven’t had one in Katikati before and it will be fun!” Knight’s team had worked with Katikati A&P Show Society, who had booked the food trucks and vendor stalls. One stall

would be run by youth from Katikati Community-Led Development (KKCLD) selling glow sticks. “The A&P Society are managing that part of the event as a fundraiser for their show in February.” Knight said the free event was funded by the Tauranga Western Bay Community Event Fund, BeeNZ, Beacon Engineering Katikati, Hume & Growers Community Fund, Shot Darts and Tanner Spraying Ltd. “If it hadn’t been sponsored by our two corporate sponsors, BeeNZ and Beacon Engineering Katikati, it wouldn’t have got off the ground,” Knight said. “Fireworks is an expensive event.”
Knight said Katch Katikati had launched Spark in the Park early on social media and via other channels since to notify the community early. A flyer drop through the township will happen soon.
Overwhelming response
“There has overwhelmingly been a very positive response to the event. Everyone I’ve spoken to has been understanding of the notice period and think the event will be great, and most are in support of banning public fireworks sales,” Knight said. “So, gather your whānau, bring your picnic blankets, chairs and get ready!”
Katikati to host free Block Party for youth on October 23! Youth of all ages are invited to a free Block Party at Katikati Skate Park next Friday from 3pm-7pm. The event marks Aotearoa Play Week 2026 from October 19 to 25. It will be hosted by Katikati Community-Led Development (KKCLD) and Katikati Community Centre. KKCLD marketing and administrator Renette Kruger said Aotearoa Play Week is a Sport Bay of Plenty (Sport BOP) initiative with the theme ‘Whānau play where whānau are’ – celebrating how tamariki (children) and whānau (families) can play in everyday spaces such as parks, backyards, streets, beaches, and schools. The BOP region will have a range of free Play Week activities scheduled from October 19 to 25.
In Katikati, Sport BOP will fund the Block Party on October 23, Kruger said. “KKCLD is collabing with the [Katikati] community centre to host this event. We were successful in applying for funds through Sport BOP’s Play Week Aotearoa initiative.” Kruger said the free Block Party is a youth-led initiative. “The youth from KKCLD decided that they wanted to have a party on the Friday afternoon [of October 23].”
For youth, by youth
The event’s free activities had also been brainstormed by the youth of KKCLD, which meet monthly, she said. “And, we’re calling it Katikati Block Party, which has also come from the youth.” Activities will include Rippa rugby,
frisbee, a half pipe skate ramp next to the skate park, a dunk tank, bubble wands, a play trailer and a free sausage sizzle and water. Each hour there will be a free lolly scramble. “The local rugby and frisbee clubs are running their code’s offering, because what we found from youth is that they want to play sport but do so casually, for fun, instead of in a club,” Kruger said. To cater to all ages of families, Kruger said Plunket will be present with activities for under-5s, and the Katikati Community Centre’s play trailer will be set up. “This is event is for all ages. Everything is free – just turn up to play,” she said. “Kids can go from activity to activity – and families can come and leave when they want.” In a statement, Sport BOP said it encouraged parents, whānau, schools,
organisations and communities across the region to get involved in Aotearoa Play Week 2026 by creating more opportunities for tamariki to play in everyday places.
More activities
“Play does not need fancy equipment, organised activities or big budgets to make a lasting impact. Often, all tamariki need is time, space and permission to explore, imagine, move, connect and have fun in ways that bring them joy,” Sport BOP said. “Whether it is climbing trees, making up games, playing sport, building forts, rolling down hills or simply mucking around with friends, play helps tamariki learn, grow and thrive.” Find out more about what’s on offer in Aotearoa Play Week 2026 at: www. sportbop.co.nz/news--events/news Merle Cave
