CDC Residents Guide 2022

CARTERTON RESIDENTS GUIDE

A welcoming and vibrant community in the heart of Wairarapa.

Welcome

From Mayor of Carterton – Hon. Ron Mark

Kia ora, nau mai, haere mai ki tēnei putanga o te aratohu a nga Kainoho Takiwā o Taratahi.

Welcome to the Carterton District Resident’s Guide - a quick reference to almost everything you might wish to know about your district.

Learn how to access services Carterton District Council provides; be that waste, water, parks, reserves, roading, the swimming pool, social groups, sport and recreation or the library, as well as practical advice on animal control or consenting matters if you are considering building or renovating.

Of course, there is a lot more to the Carterton or Taratahi District, so we make no apologies for boasting and promoting advantages of living here, the stunning beauty of the sun rising over the Maungaraki Ranges, its setting over the Tararuas or the wild beauty of the Pacific Ocean at Flat Point or Glenburn.

A community is only as strong as the social fabric it weaves itself to bind and support its people. That whilst promoting economy growth, caters to diversity, builds and nurtures its youth, supports the elderly and vulnerable, values, appreciates, preserves and promotes its history, environment, culture, and artists, and sees sport and outdoor recreation as being key to building resilience, teamwork and confidence.

Though we number only 10,000 people we have an abundance of organisations who excel at doing

what makes Carterton a safe, friendly and caring community. This coupled to some of the finest schools makes Carterton the dream choice for families, lifestylers and a large number of New Zealanders who retire here.

Carterton is a leader in the Greater Wellington Region for hosting world class events in our award-winning Carterton Event Centre, and our stunning showgrounds at Clareville hosts the region’s best A&P Show. Whether it’s events such as Wings Over Wairarapa, the Balloon Festival, Harvest Festival, Scarecrow’s Big Day Out, Stonehenge Aotearoa, the desire to relax in a country pub by the Ruamāhanga river or to sample the local vines in one of Gladstone’s wineries; Carterton affords us the privilege of having it all in an unspoilt rural environment.

Not to mention our astonishing 100-year-old Carterton Swimming Club, our champion rugby clubs in Carterton and Gladstone, our stunning 18-hole Carterton Golf course, or the Clareville Hockey Complex - host to many national and international tournaments.

Finally, if it’s rod and gun that gets you out of bed; in Carterton, you are a stone’s throw from some of New Zealand’s best hunting, diving and fishing that tourists from all over the world come to enjoy.

It is my hope that within this guide, whether newly arrived or have lived here most of your life, you will find something special or new that will

comfort, challenge or enthral you, but most of all, make you glad that Carterton is your home.

Tēnā koutou, tenā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa Ron Mark Mayor

Carterton District Council

Urban residents in Carterton receive a weekly kerbside waste and recycling collection service each Monday. Where a public holiday falls on a Monday, the collection will take place on the following day.

Rubbish must be in an official bag which can be purchased for $2.80 each from supermarkets, dairies, petrol stations and the Council office.

How does my kerbside recycling work?

Both recycling crates (green and maroon) can be used for glass only and your recycling wheelie bin can be used for all other recyclables (clean tins, cans, paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and containers numbered 1, 2 and 5 such as drink, water and milk bottles).

Your glass crates and the recycling wheelie bin (black bin with a yellow lid) will be collected on alternating weeks. This is why we’ve numbered the bins with a 1 or 2 (found on the sticker on the side of your recycling wheelie bin) which corresponds to the recycling calendar.

This is available online www.wairecycle.nz/collection

Must be out by 7.30 or it stays dirty!

Forgotten whether it’s week 1 or week 2? View the top bar on the homepage of our website www.cdc.govt. nz or copy your neighbour!

All containers are best rinsed, lids off and not squashed please.

What do I get for my rates and how do they work?

The Council provides many services to the community which are funded by rates. We’ve put together some figures to show all the services and facilities we provided in the 2021/2022 financial year.

figures were based on data collated from the 2021/22 financial year. The majority of these are accessible by all ratepayers - the level you contribute via your rates is dependent on where you live.

The Uniform Annual General Charge is a fixed charge applied to every separately used or inhabited part (SUIP) of a property.

use the property (residential, business, farm, short-term accommodation)

whether your property’s location is urban or rural.

Targeted rates pay for specific services or projects. For example, in Carterton, rural residents are not rated for kerbside waste and recycling collection as they do not receive this service. The Council also collects rates on behalf of Greater Wellington Regional Council. They set their rates themselves.

Direct debits and rates rebates

How to pay via Direct Debit

Did you know you can spread your payments out into weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly amounts? You might like to consider a direct debit, where we calculate a regular amount and arrange it directly with your bank.

Application forms are available on our website www.cdc.govt.nz/ratesinformation or email our Rates Officer on rates@cdc.govt.nz for more information.

Do I qualify for a rates rebate?

Rate rebates are available based on household income and number of dependents.

Rebate forms are available at the Council Office on Holloway Street once you have received your first instalment of the rating year (in July).

Water

How to read your water meter

Your yearly water allocation

The yearly water allocation per water meter is 225 cubic metres so if your consumption is over this allowance, it’s possible you have a water leak.

You can check and monitor your water usage yourself to avoid an unexpected bill when your meter is read again in January and June.

Detecting a leak

A leak on your property can waste thousands of litres of water over time at considerable cost to you.

To check for leaks – turn off all household appliances and taps, then note down the meter reading. Leave for as long as possible (overnight is best) and then read the meter again. If the reading has changed and the numbers shown at Arrow 2 in the

How to read your water meter

Some simple ways you can reduce your water consumption

Use a good mulch in the garden to prevent 70% evaporation loss. 

Soak your plants every 3-4 days to encourage the roots to go deeper into the soil. 

Capture shower water & washing machine water to use in your garden. 

Cut your shower time by 1 minute to save 10 litres of water. 

Turn off the tap while you’re brushing your teeth to save 24 litres per day. 

Washing machines account for 20% of water used in homes, so do a full load to avoid wasting water.

Trim ya bush Council

No one likes a messy bush. Every resident is responsible for trimming back their own hedges, bushes and other plant growth to ensure they aren’t obstructing the footpath or obscuring the view of reversing vehicles. Hedges need to be trimmed back to the boundary and overhanging branches should be pruned to at least 2.1m clearance above paths.

If the Council receives a complaint about hedges or overhanging branches from your property, we usually issue a cutback notice which gives you 14 days’ notice to trim ya bush.

After 14 days, the Council may intervene and pass the cost on to the property owner.

What about

neighbour’s annoying tree overhanging onto my property?

Every year the Council receives complaints about overhanging branches from neighbouring properties. Please chat to your neighbour or drop a polite note in their letterbox. The Council doesn’t intervene in these matters.

Sustainability

Climate change

Wairarapa is already experiencing the effect of Climate Change, especially temperature increase, droughts, sea level rise and erosion

Carterton District Council has committed to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Climate change mitigation means reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change adaptation means adapting to the impacts of climate change such as increased flooding risks.

In 2020, we adopted the Ruamāhanga Strategy in conjunction with South Wairarapa District Council, which outlines what meaningful action we can take to reduce the effects of climate change in our daily council operations. We revised and updated the strategy and action plan in 2021.

Targets

We have set up some carbon targets. They are ambitious but achievable and realistic. Being small councils, we must be aware of our limits.

During the period 2020 – 2030, Carterton District Council aims to: „ Reduce its gross greenhouse gas emissions „ Increase the reservoirs, therefore the amount of greenhouse gas sequestered every year „ Reduce biogenic methane by 10% below 2017 levels

Outdoor Mural & Molly’s Slide

Carterton resident Molly O’Dwyer was just 10 years old when she asked the Council for funding to replace the slide at the outdoor pools, as the existing slide was no longer fit for purpose. Council made allowance in its budget for up to $10,000 towards the project and supported Molly with her community fundraising for the remaining amount. Molly reached her funding goal thanks to funding from Trust House, Ka Pai Carterton committee, the Wairarapa business

community and community fundraising.

Molly worked with Council on the concept design to create a slide that would meet the needs of local kids which she identified through surveying her peers. The colour scheme chosen was multicolour, to match the newly painted mural at the pools by Adrian Jackman, Rangatahi Tū Rangatira (R2R) and local school students. Installation began in August 2022 with the expectation of it being ready in time for the 2022/23 summer swim season.

A place of rest

A place of rest

Our Clareville Cemetery is located on Chester Road on the outskirts of Carterton and is administered by the Carterton District Council.

The first burial took place on 26 July 1866. It is also where the grave of Charles Rooking Carter can be found, from whom Carterton derives its name.

Clareville cemetery

The cemetery has its own small chapel which was opened in August 1999, featuring a stand crafted from local wood and containing a memorial book.

A crematorium is also located within the cemetery, and a native tree is planted with every cremation performed. In 2017, the cemetery became the first in Wairarapa to

community

accommodate for natural burials.

The selected site is mapped out for 50 natural burial plots. Each time a natural burial is taken up, the site is marked with the planting of a totara tree.

This work requires a commitment to consistency and continuity and is a long-term strategic approach to benefit the residents of Carterton and Wairarapa.

On a recent Call the Midwife programme, Vanessa Redgrave’s character says, “Certainty isn’t everything... the world would have us falter, but kindness in chaos amounts to so much.”

“Kindness in chaos” – these words, in a programme depicting the time just after World War 2, seem so apt today.

The Bible tells us He is the anchor for our souls – and God knows we need an anchor in these uncertain times.

On Sunday mornings, and at other times, we at St David’s gather to spend time in the presence of the anchor of our souls, to hear from His word and to give Him our worship. Please join us.

He promises never to leave us.

Maybe for you, like me, the past couple of years have caused you to ‘wobble’ a bit. Nothing is as it was pre-2020. The world is rapidly changing. But in life there is one constant and that is God and His Word. He promises never to leave us. He says (in effect), “You are chosen, not rejected”.

Connecting with Tangata Whenua

Carterton District is the traditional homeland of many Māori entities that established themselves within the area before European exploration.

Some of those entities continue to have a presence within the Carterton District today, including Hurunui-oRangi Marae, hapū units including Ngai Taneroa, Ngai Tahu and Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia; mandated iwi like Rangitāne o Wairarapa and Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa.

The exciting Post Treaty Settlement era will bring many new developments which will allow Māori to develop within the Carterton District, with initiatives which will benefit the wider community as well.

The traditional, pre-European Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae was often used for the famous komitinui as a place between the power bases in the north and south.

Nukutaimameha was another marae in our area, which later relocated to Masterton in the early 1900’s.

There are a number of wāhi tapū and urupā throughout our area; connecting the rich history of mana whenua to the land, waterways, and surrounding environment.

Carterton District Council continues to strengthen relationships with iwi, hapū and hapori Māori, and strives

to enable democratic participation including providing iwi representatives with voting rights at Committee meetings, and speaking rights at Council meetings.

The Council works closely with hapū of Hurunui-o-Rangi Marae and Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia who are recognised

as mana whenua (having authority over land or territory.)

Many Māori places names in our district are references to traditional events. You can see these depicted in our Events Centre hallway, describing many of the heritage, environmental and cultural aspects of Carterton.

Council’s monthly newsletter includes ‘He Pitopito Kōrero’ which passes on the historical Māori stories of our district to our community. In 2019, the council also voted in favour of implementing bilingual signage around the district to acknowledge the special place Te Reo Māori holds in both our nation and the Carterton community.

Maori in Business Wairarapa

Māori in Business Wairarapa enables successful Māori business endeavours and relationships in our region. They believe that economic growth for Māori is key to helping iwi, hapū, whanau re-build intergenerational wealth. They believe Māori ownership of business, land, and other assets provides the strongest opportunity to express rangatiratanga and aspirations for cultural and social wellbeing.

Ultimately, they hope that the work they do will help reduce inequalities for Māori in Wairarapa and create transformative economic outcomes for our region.

Carterton Railway Museum

Built from native timbers in the Vogel Style, the Carterton railway station was threatened with demolition by New Zealand Rail Ltd in 1990.

A group of concerned people formed a steering committee to save the station which had been completed and opened in 1880. Over time the station developed into a museum of railway memorabilia, housing an archive of railway history which also covers aspects of some railway staff.

Carterton railway station and marshalling yard was the first in New Zealand to be recognised as an official “Historic Railway Precinct” as a result of an Act passed in Parliament to protect heritage railway assets from permanent loss to the nation. Today, hundreds of passengers use the Carterton railway station on a daily basis.

The museum is open most Sundays. For more information visit www.cartertonrailwaymuseum.org.nz 027 264 7421. carterton.rail.museum@gmail.com

Keeping you safe

Licensing and monitoring environmental health

The Council Environmental Health team is involved in a wide range of environmental health and alcohol licensing work. They license and monitor a number of different types of businesses, including food premises, alcohol licensed premises, camping grounds, hairdressers and offensive trades. They also undertake work in the investigation of infectious diseases, health nuisance, industrial noise and monitoring the district’s urban and rural water supplies.

The licensing of food premises and alcohol licensed premises are two major aspects of this work.

Food premises

If you want to set up in the food business there are some important things you need to know. Food can only be sold to the public when it has been prepared in premises licensed under the Food Hygiene Regulations, 1974.

For more information visit the Ministry for Primary Industries website www.mpi.govt.nz/foodact

An Environmental Health Officer undertakes inspection of restaurants, cafes and other food premises to ensure that food handlers manage the preparation of food and the

maintenance of premises in accordance with the regulations. The Council emphasises that it is the food industry’s responsibility to produce food that is safe to eat.

If you want to establish or buy a food premises, always seek legal advice.

If it is a new premises, you will need to ensure that the use of the site complies with the District Plan and that the premises, when constructed, complies with the Food Hygiene Regulations. It is also recommended that food handlers undertake recognised food safety training.

Alcohol licensing

Under the sale and supply of Alcohol Act 2012, the District Licensing Committee has the responsibility of managing applications for Alcohol Licences in the district, determining applications for special licences, issuing manager’s certificates as well as on, off and club licences. If an objection to an application is received, the outcome is then determined by the Alcohol Regulatory & Licensing Authority.

Council’s Environmental Health Officer is also an Alcohol Licensing Inspector and in this role he/she inspects licensed premises and reports, along with the Police and Medical Officer of Health, on a range of different licence applications, including applications for Manager’s Certificates. Opening an alcohol licensed premises (on, off, or club) requires a number of steps which can be explained in detail by Council staff.

Environmental Health staff can help you through these steps.

Keeping it real

The building department is responsible for controlling the standards of buildings to ensure they are safe, contribute to people’s health and wellbeing, and are designed, constructed and able to be used in ways that promote sustainable development.

An important job is deciding whether to grant consents to people wanting to construct buildings.

Almost all building work requires approval by Council through a building consent.

A building consent is confirmation

that the proposed building, plumbing, drainage and safety requirements comply with the building code.

Our building department can be contacted on 06 379 4030 or buildingadmin@cdc.govt.nz

When to consent

If in doubt, seek us out

If you are carrying out building work, you may need to apply for a building consent.

Owners are required to apply for and obtain building consents where necessary before they start doing building work. Not all building work requires consent - some work is exempt from consent requirements, but it must still comply with the Building Act 2004 and the Building Code. The Act and the Code are legally binding and if you breach them or don’t obtain a building consent you may face penalties.

Building work that does not require a building consent

Section 41 and Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004 describes building work which may be carried out without a building consent.

It is updated regularly by The Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment with a wider range of building work being exempted. The full list of exempt building work can be found on their website www.mbie.govt.nz

Important note

An exemption does not, of itself, permit building work if that building work would be in breach of any other Act e.g exempt building work may still require planning approval.

56

Planning to build?

Avoid surprises; order a PIM

There are things you can do to make the consenting process easier, quicker and less stressful.

Before engaging a designer, builder and other tradespeople, do your homework! Check with other people they have worked for and ask if the designers and builders have done that type of work before. You can also check the Licensed Building Practitioners Register www.lbp.govt.nz

Using competent design and building professionals will take the stress out of your building project.

Other helpful hints:

„ The cheapest quote isn’t always the best quote - allow for surprises in your budget.

„ Apply for a Project Information Memorandum (PIM) before completing a fully developed design. This will tell you a variety of information, such as other approvals you may need or information that could affect your design.

„ Check with suppliers of the products being specified to ensure they will be available when you need them to avoid delays and the need to apply for amendments.

„ Check professional reports for disclaimers or limitations as these may be such that we cannot rely on the reports.

„ Make sure the application for building consent is site and project specific, with relevant information. Your designer should check their information thoroughly before making an application for consent to avoid any unnecessary delays.

„ If your project is complex or out of the ordinary, come and see us during normal office hours before making the application. We are happy to help where we can.

„ Read your building consent and supporting documents carefully before starting work. They contain important information.

„ Make sure you get all your inspections. Drains and septic tanks need to be inspected before being backfilled. Missed inspections may mean you don’t get a Code of Compliance certificate at the end of the job.

„ Gather documentation as you go to support your application for Code of Compliance and apply as soon as possible after the work is complete.

If your building consent relates to commercial projects:

„ Use the right people, make sure any structural or fire engineers are chartered professional fire engineers. Do your homework before engaging anyone.

„ If your building includes specified systems (fire alarms etc) make sure you get information for the buildings compliance schedule.

„ If the building is complex, we may require any engineering to be peer reviewed.

„ Make sure your documentation clearly identifies who will be doing inspections.

„ If your building work is an alteration to an existing building (section 112) or a change of use (section 115) you will need to include reports covering off these sections of the Act.

Cost

Please visit our website www.cdc.govt.nz/fees to see the schedule of fees

Timeframe

By law, we have 20 working days to process your consent. This time is suspended if you haven’t supplied us with everything and we need additional information.

This is also affected by the number of consents in the system at any one time and the quality of the applications. Sometimes we send applications to external consultants to process to keep within time limits.

In some circumstances where the application is poor, we may elect to refuse the application and request you submit a new, improved application.

Our water

Urban water supply for the Carterton District comes from the Kaipaitangata Stream and underground bores. These sources are dependent on rainfall. Carterton’s main water supply at the Kaipaitangata has relatively little storage capacity so daily collection and treatment of the stream water is closely linked to the volume of water being consumed. In 2022, the Council progressed a project to upgrade the Frederick Street Water Treatment Plant, and install two new potable water storage tanks, which will hold an additional 4 million litres of water.

Water restrictions may occur in times of high use, such as summer months, when the hot, dry weather affects the amount of water available.

Restrictions help conserve water for all users, ensuring there is water available for firefighting, if needed, and helping our environment by remaining within our resource consent regulations. Our website will keep you up to date. Visit www.cdc.govt.nz/water Other places to keep an eye on include:

„ The water restriction wheel located on the Carters building, High Street

„ Our Facebook page

„ Advertisements on the radio and in local papers

Metered Water

Our Council has an element of ‘userpays’ for water supply. Water use above 225 cubic metres per year will incur an excess charge per cubic metre and will be invoiced separately. This applies to all users who receive water from our supply, whether residential, rural, industrial or commercial.

Avoid an unexpected water bill. Want to know how much water you have already used? See page 10 of this guide to learn how to read your meter.

Where does our water come from?

Why do we have water restrictions and how do we know when they are in force?

Where it comes from and why we should conserve it

Wastewater

Sustainable wastewater & caring for our environment

Wastewater is all the water that goes down the drain in our houses and workplaces and must be treated before it can be returned to waterways. Wastewater includes water from showers, baths, and washing machines.

Your wastewater goes on a journey from your home, property, or business to our Wastewater Treatment on Dalefield Road.

Our plant operates 24/7, 365 days per year. So why does it smell sometimes? Well, sewage is a pretty smelly subject anyway. A fine balance of biochemistry stops bad odours travelling most of the time. However, if that balance is removed, by weather changes, or chemicals in the network, it will impact the ponds.

Congratulations! You still own your wastewater until it leaves the boundary of your property! If there’s a poonami, your prize is to call a plumber. Your poo is our problem once it leaves your property.

Blockages can also cause a bad smell. You must never flush disposable wipes! Only pee, paper and poo should go down the loo.

Our long-term vision is to remove all effluent discharges to water, except in exceptional circumstances. Completing the Wastewater Treatment Ponds upgrade at Daleton Farm will help achieve 100% of our wastewater discharged to land.

JOIN US AT ST MARK’S

St Mark’s seeks to serve the people of Carterton and Wairarapa. We coordinate the town’s popular fruit and vege co-op, we are working on a social housing initiative, and we run Seasons for Growth, which mentors children, young people, and adults who experience trauma, loss, or grief.

At St Mark’s, we offer:

• A warm welcome and great fellowship for all

• Sunday and Thursday worship, where we give thanks for God’s generosity to us

• A caring church community, dedicated to supporting one another

• Monthly car boot sales (First Sunday of the month): anyone can set up their stall and sell goods

• Venue hire: our historic wooden church, parish hall and meeting rooms are available for hire
