TE AWAMUTU COURIER, TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2011 5 Te Awamutu Playground shaping up Te Awamutu’s new playground is inching closer to completion as Roktopus prepare the site for the installation of the new equipment. Managing director Theo Jaques and operations manager Alex Handcock have been on site installing safety surfacing around the bases of the equipment and ensuring all the levels are right. Roktopus has been in the playground industry for 15 years and is supplying the bulk of the play equipment. Mr Handcock says the weather has created some difficulties, but progress is being made towards having the site ready for the next stage, which is for contractors to install the soft fall. It is expected these preparation tasks will be completed within a couple of weeks and once equipment starts to be installed progress Regional Council wants your views on velodrome Public consultation on a $6 million funding proposal for a national cycling centre of excellence, including a velodrome, near Cambridge opened last week. At an extraordinary council meeting last week Waikato Regional Council finalised the statement of proposal detailing the costs and benefits of the proposed velodrome and the rating options. Chairman Peter Buckley said the council had vigorously debated the issues and options. ‘‘We have followed good 8204925AA BETTA LAUNDRY LG 5.5kg Inverter Direct Drive Top Load Washer WTH550 • 935Hx540Wx540D • 8 wash programmes • 10 water levels • 3 water temperatures • 19 wash options • Fuzzy logic • iSensor • Electronic controls • LED display • Turbo drum LG WTH650 6.5kg Inverter Direct Drive Top Load Washer @ $899.99 LESS $ 799 .99 $ THAN 10 Bosch 6.5kg Front Load Washer WAE20262AU • 847Hx600Wx590D • Up to 1000rpm spin speed • 12 programmes plus 1 special programme PER WEEK LESS $ 1099 .99 $ THAN 10 PER WEEK ✔ Reliable ✔ Local ✔ Experts We tick all the boxes! will speed up. The Te Awamutu Playground committee is close to its fundraising target, but still needs more money to complete the playground to the original plans. More fundraising activities are planned, such as this weekend’s Freemason’s Longest Morning Tea (see Briefly column), but other offers of help or donations are welcomed. The committee is chaired by Bobbie Fladgate and includes Betsy Bryant, Community Board chairman Dean Taylor, Waipa District asset manager parks and reserves Max Ward and Waipa District councillor Hazel Barnes. Any group, organisation or business wanting more information or able to assist with the project is welcome to contact a member of the committee.

The council wants to know whether people support a $6 million grant toward the $28.5 million dollar velodrome, and their preferred rating option. Funding would come from internal borrowing from the investment fund and repaid by ratepayers over a 20-year period. The loan will be charged 5.65% interest reviewed every three years as part of the Long Term Plan, resulting in an annual rating requirement of $601,109. The council is seeking feedback on two ratepayer funding options to repay the loan. The first option is a region-wide flat rate of $3.18 which spreads the cost evenly across the region The second is a two-tier funding system which recognises the localised benefit of the proposed facility. This would see properties in Waipa, Hamilton, Tamahere and Eureka wards of Waikato district pay $3.94 a year, and Fisher & Paykel 6.5kg Quicksmart Top Load Washer MW613 • 1020-1050Hx600Wx600D • 1000 rpm max spin speed • 4 wash programmes • 3 manual water levels • 3 wash temperature controls • 10 agitator actions LESS $ 1099 .99 $ THAN 10 PER WEEK Bosch Avantixx 7.5kg Front Load Washer WAS24460AU • 842Hx600Wx620D • Up to 1200rpm spin speed • 12 programmes plus 4 special options LESS $ 1599 .99 $ THAN 15 PER WEEK all other ratepayers $2.66. Any Waikato Regional Council rates would be in addition to the cost of the Waipa $1 million contribution which amounts to $4.84 per rateable property. The regional council will also be asking the region’s territorial authorities to submit on the statement of proposal stating their formal position on whether the regional council should apply a regional rate to fund the $6 million. Councils will be asked to identify their preferred rating option. If the regional council JOHN HAWORTH Phone (07) 871 5399 54 SLOANE ST, TE AWAMUTU funds the proposed cycling centre of excellence it would need to make changes to the current Long Term Plan, including a new funding policy and updating the treasury policy to allow internal borrowings to apply to the grant. Cr Buckley said the council had carefully considered the issues before deciding whether to consult with the public following a request from the Home of Cycling Trust for local government funding. ‘‘We are hearing equal numbers of voices for and ASK INSTORE FOR A FINANCE PACKAGE TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS CONDITIONS APPLY Simpson 7.5kg Ezi Set Top Load Washer SWT704 • 1070Hx670Wx680D • 850rpm max spin speed • 11 wash programmes • Variable water level • 3 wash options • Progress indicator • Rotary/push button controls $ 1149 .99 Bosch 7kg Dryer WTV74100AU • 842Hx598Wx625D • 7 Sensor-Care programmes • Venting kit • Fully electronic operation LESS $ THAN 10 PER WEEK LESS $ 1049 .99 $ THAN 10 PER WEEK against the proposal, and it would have been undemocratic to simply kick it to touch without even hearing formally from the public,’’ he said. ‘The statement of proposal and submission form are available on-line at www.waikatoregion.govt.nz, from all public libraries and council offices or on request by calling 0800 800 401.
