PAGE 8 BAY HARBOUR Wednesday February 1 2017 A BRANCH OF Michael Toomey mft@younghunter.co.nz Proudly providing legal advice to the community for 25 years Michelle Rossiter mjr@younghunter.co.nz P. 384-5350 www.younghunter.co.nz News Fast internet for harbour settlements AKAROA AND Diamond Harbour are among 151 towns which will get ultra-fast broadband installed before 2024, the Government has announced. The $300 million programme will allow 85 per cent of New Zealanders to have access to fibre within eight years – more than the Government’s original goal of 80 per cent by 2022. Selwyn MP Amy Adams said faster broadband had incredible power to change the ways people grew their businesses and connected with each other, as well as how health and education needs were met. “What it really means is that you no longer have to choose between living in the beautiful parts of Selwyn [electorate] like Diamond Harbour, Darfield, Leeston and Rakaia, or being close to jobs and good schools and good healthcare, actually you can do both,” she said. “The way high speed connectivity makes that possible is, I think, the equivalent of the way opening up the railroads changed the reality for rural and provincial worlds back in the early part of last century. I don’t think we can even begin to imagine all of the ways this will be used in years to come.” Communications Minister Simon Bridges, who took over the portfolio from Adams in December, said the second phase of the UFB rollout would provide up to 423,000 more New Zealanders with access to “world class broadband.” The first phase of the rollout focused mostly on larger cities and, at last count, around 300,000 people had access to fibre internet connections. Once the installations are completed, Wellington will have the greatest access to UFB, with 95.4 per cent coverage. Northland will have the least access, at 53.5 per cent. CONNECTED: Akaroa and Diamond Harbour will get access to ultra-fast fibre broadband before 2024. Not ready to buy? Join the hunt for Old Man’s Beard Old Man’s Beard is currently in flower and the only way to stop it from spreading is for everyone to play their part. Old Man’s Beard is a vigorous growing vine which forms a tangled smothering mass over trees and shrubs, blocking out light and eventually killing supporting plants. Environment Canterbury Biosecurity Officers will be visiting specific areas over the coming weeks, conducting inspections and supporting local pest control groups to control this pest.
