District could be 

dark sky reserve 

By DAVID HILL, 

Local Democracy Reporter 

The Waimakariri district could 

become adark sky community. 

Oxford Area School 

Observatory volunteer Raul 

EliasDrago told the Canterbury 

Astronomical Society's Stardate 

South Island 2023 camp at 

Staveley in MidCanterbury last 

weekend, the observatory 

committee is exploring the 

possibility of creating an Oxford 

dark sky community. 

After hearing apresentation 

about the Wairarapa Dark Sky 

Reserve, Mr EliasDrago now 

wonders if the committee 

should thinking, across the 

whole Waimakariri District. 

‘‘The Wairarapa example has 

been very important for us to 

learn, as it shows we can have a 

Waimakariri district where not 

every part of the district is 

exactly the same or subject to 

the same rules.” 

He says the committee is keen 

to develop the accreditation for 

Oxford, and the Oxford area, 

and believes it is important to 

draw people in —not only for 

the astronomy. 

‘‘By bringing people to the 

observatory, we hope they will 

come again and it will benefit 

the businesses in the area.’’ 

But the Wairarapa Dark Sky 

model was appealing. 

The Wairarapa Dark Sky 

Reserve gained accreditation 

from the International Dark Sky 

Association in December, after 

afiveyear journey. The reserve 

encompassed two districts, 

including the South Wairarapa 

and Carterton District Councils. 

It comprised acore area to the 

south, which consisted of the 

Aorangi Forest Park, 

administered by the 

Department of Conservation. 

The main towns to the north 

made up the “periphery”, which 

were not subject to the same 

standards and lighting 

restrictions, but were still part 

of the reserve. 

Protecting the dark sky had 

benefits of bringing in 

astrotourism, protecting human 

health and animal welfare, and 

training the astronomers and 

astronauts of tomorrow, Mr 

EliasDrago said. 

Retired Canterbury 

University academic Professor 

John Hearnshaw has launched 

apetition calling for national 

legislation to limit light 

pollution and promote dark 

skies, with the ultimate goal of 

New Zealand becoming adark 

sky nation. 

Former Waimakariri Youth 

Council member and science 

student Sasha Crawford, who 

was also at the camp, said 

wildlife needed the stars to 

navigate. 

‘‘A lot of birds use the stars to 

migrate, so not being able to see 

them can be catastrophic, as the 

circadian rhythm doesn't 

activate so they can't perform 

their natural functions and 

John Hearnshaw talks about it 

in his book (on dark skies).’’ 

Science communicator 

Hartina Mogosanu, who was 

involved in establishing the 

Wairarapa reserve, said it was 

time to ‘‘normalise’’ the 

conversation around dark skies. 

An exhibition was held in 

Carterton over the summer to 

help people to understand what 

adark sky reserve means.

Spotlight on housing standards 



Adecisiononwhether Woodendand 

Pegasus will be included in new 

housing standards, may ultimatelybe 

decided by an independent 

commissioner. 

Therehas beensome confusion 

whether the new medium density 

residential standards, which allow for 

subdividing for up to three housing 

unitsorbuilding up to three storeyson 

asingleproperty, apply to Woodend 

and Pegasus. 

WaimakaririDistrict Council 

development planning manager Matt 

Baconsays the legislationisopen to 

interpretation and he expects the 

planning processwill ultimately 

define how the new rulesapplied to 

the district. 

‘‘We have certainly had some 

submissions which dealwith that 

particular issue,and the independent 

commissioner willconsider those in 

making adecision. 

‘‘I don’t thinkthere is anywrong 

interpretation and it has to be thatway 

because it is legislation whichhas to 

be applied nationally. 

‘‘There is always goingtobeareas of 

variation around the country, so that’s 

why the submission process is so 

important.’’ 

Initiative fills gap 

From Page 1 

Brigetteand Brad are both 

retired rugby playerswho 

coached agirls Under 7ripper 

rugbyteam afew years ago. 

Brad says they always 

wanted to see the age gap filled 

wheregirls dropaway from 

rugbygame when they turn 

eight. 

‘‘Boys generallybecome 

more physical than most girls 

by 10 and with no other 

avenues until the U13 girls 

grade, there’sa(dead zone)and 

we feelrugby is losing these 

girlstoother sports.’’ 

When they heard the 

Canterbury RugbyFootball 

Union(CRFU) were startingan 

U11 midweek metro girls 

tournament, they decided to 

put the feelers out and see if 

they could round up aenough 

girlstoenter aNorth 

Canterbury team. 

‘‘At that point we werea 

standalone venture,’’ says 

Brad,‘‘Lots of keen and eager 

players but no uniforms, no 

ballsand no home.’’ 

The new housing rules, announced 

by theGovernmentinOctober2021, set 

the new standardsasthe default 

position for townsinhigh growth 

areas, such as Greater Christchurch. 

The WaimakaririDistrict Council 

(WDC) notified variations to the 

proposedDistrict Plan in August last 

yeartoapply the new standardsto 

Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Woodend / 

Pegasus. 

Feedback fromEnvironment 

Minister David Parker and 

WaimakaririMPMattDoocey 

indicatedthe Governmentand the 

Opposition,who bothsupported the 

legislation, never intended Woodend 

and Pegasus to be included. 

But the Canterbury RegionalPolicy 

Statement identified Woodend, 

Pegasus and Ravenswood as one 

urban arearatherthanseparate 

towns. 

The ChristchurchCity Council 

recentlyannounced avariation to its 

PlanChange 14, whichwouldapply 

the new standardsprimarily to the 

central city. 

Mr Baconsays his teamwill be 

looking at the Christchurch 

interpretationclosely to see how it 

might apply to Waimakariri. 

‘‘Weare interestedinhavingalook 

at some of the evidential basis they 

haveappliedand what scopethereis 

He saysPaul Keane at 

Saracens Rugby Club helped 

them with accesstoequipment

Decision reinforces concerns 



Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordonsays a 

High Court decision vindicateshis 

council’s concerns aboutthe loss of 

democratic decision making. 

The High Court issued its decision on 

Tuesday, confirming the government 

planned to ‘‘confiscate’’ councils’ Three 

Waters assetsunder its proposed 

legislation. 

But said the question of compensation 

rested with Parliament. 

‘‘This decision reinforces the concerns 

the community hasshared with us,’’ Mr 

Gordon says.‘‘Peoplewant asay about the 

waterthey drink, and they don’t want their 

assets taken away from them.’’ 

The Waimakariri District Council 

joined forces withthe Timaruand 

Whangarei councils in seeking a 

declaration fromthe High Court on the 

rights and interestsofproperty ownership. 

But Justice Jillian Mallonwas unable to 

grant the specific declarationssought by 

the councils. 

‘‘I accept thatthe Three Waters reforms 

involved aform of expropriation for which 

compensation couldbegiven, but whether 

it is, is ultimately amatter for Parliament.’’ 

She noted the government had not 

directly acknowledged localcouncils 

would losethe abilitytocontrol the use of 

their assets nor the lossofdemocratic 

accountability. 

‘‘It doesnot follow that the government, 

and in turnParliament, is unaware of 

this.’’ 

JusticeMallonsaid the proposals aimed 

3 

to develop anew modelfor delivering 

Three Waters services in response to‘‘ 

significant infrastructure challenges’’. 

‘‘The governmenthas proposed a 

funding package, but has deliberately 

decidedthat this is not intended to 

compensate local councils for the value of 

theirassets.’’ 

Mr Gordon said the mayors hoped to 

build on the momentum of the decision 

and continuetopush for changes to 

proposed legislation. 

‘‘We are calling on the new Prime 

Minister to take afresh look at amodel for 

waterreform that works,toreengage with 

the sector and let’s work together towards 

successful water reform thatbuilds 

consensus.’’

Kaiapoi caravan park popular 


Anew KaiapoiNew Zealand Motor 

Caravan Association(NZMCA)Park has 

provedpopular withtravellers. 

The new motor caravan park built in the 

Red Zone area of Kaiapoi East, opened 

last week. 

CamperTeresa Bartrum says she and 

her husband spotted the newsite several 

weeks ago when they werepassing 

through the town, and couldn’t wait for it 

to officially open, to get in and set up their 

house bus. 

‘‘We have been on the road10years now 

and this new campsite looks amazing 

compared to some others in the region.’’ 

Levin residentsRobin and Jenny 

Bentonare currently touring the South 

Islandand say theyhave stayedatmany of 

the NZMCA parks and Park over Property 

scheme(POP) sites. 

‘‘We love the newsite, it’s muchbetter 

than some others locally, we especially 

like the one way ringroad access andthe 

combination of hard standings alongside 

grass parking. 

The couple say every camp siteis 

different and all have somethingtooffer. 

‘‘Thisnew one is close to amenities,has 

many trees onsiteand has agood layout.’’ 

With five sitesalready occupied, 

Tauranga couple Andy and ToniBaker 

were someofthe seven coupleswho 

arrived onsite before noon lastThursday. 

They tried the new sitebecause it 

allowed them access to the many 

amenities nearby, and the cycle tracksin 

and aroundKaiapoi. 

‘‘We love biking, hikingand fishing and 

there is plenty to see and do here.’’ 

The couple havetakenastep back from 

their busylives and have beentravelling 

aroundthe upper half of the South Island. 

Toni says they love the parklikesetting

and we congratulatethem on reaching this 

importantmilestone.’’ 

The park realises akey componentof 

the Kaiapoi Town Centre Plan which was 

adopted by the Waimakariri District 

Council in 2018. Ms Thompsonsays it is 

now part of the thriving MarinePrecinct in 

Kaiapoi,and councilhopes it will be a

LeithfieldBeach Residents Association 

(LBRA), chairperson Jacky Ellis says she 

is particularlyproud of the hard workby 

everyone so far. 

‘‘It is fantastic to have the whole 

community behind it. 

‘‘It will be agood addition to the 

community and the support we havehere 

will make it come to life.’’ 

Apump track is aloopedsequence of 

rollers and banked berms designed for

Mrs Ellis says it willbeaplacefor the

townshipthat is in need of attention. 

‘‘We are already planning for anumber 

of events to be heldonce it is built, 

‘‘Everyonehas got behindthe project

project and then conductclasseson 

cycling and skateboardingfor the younger 

members of the community. 

Otherideasmooted by the LBRA 

include workshopsonbike maintenance, 

riding skills and road safety. 

The idea for the pump park came from 

the visionofLeithfieldBeach residents 

Christineand Paul James who wanted to 

create afun activity at the Reserve in 

memory of their son Aaron, who died in a 

motor vehicle accident in Waikuku in 

2014. 

Christinesays Aaron was akeen BMX 

rider and skater and ‘‘If it had wheels, he 

was into it.’’ 

She says the family has lived in the area 

for over 40 years and Aaron was well 

known for guidingyoungcyclists to enjoy 

riding and skating. 

Mrs Ellis says along with the James 

family donation of $5000, the small 

communityhas already raised $19,034 in 

the past 12 months through garage sales,

OPINION 


Around the electorate with 

STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA 

Co-governance debate 

Cogovernance has become amajortalking 

pointinNew Zealand over the last two 

years, and it will almost certainly continue 

through to the election. 

National has been open and very clear 

on its viewofcogovernance. 

We do notsupport the cogovernance of 

New Zealander’s publicassets or public 

services. 

Thereare, of course, examples of where 

cogovernance has worked well,and they 

were done in accordancewith Article Two 

of the Treaty of Waitangi. 

New Zealanders can be justifiably proud 

that successive Governments have 

deliveredfair andequitable treaty 

settlements,somethingfew if any other 

nations have managed to do. 

National has always been fully 

supportive of treatysettlements. Under the 

guidanceofChristopher Finlayson, the 

last National Government settled 59 Treaty 

claims —significantly more than any 

other. 

The Three Waters legislation has quite 

rightly upset many New Zealanderswho 

have seen their waterinfrastructure assets 

takenfrom them. Theyhave been bundled 

into one of the fournew water entities, and 

not onlyhave we lost ownershipofthem, 

but also any meaningful say in their 

management. 

Kiwis have paid for thisinfrastructure 

and now it is being turned overtothese 

megaentities run by six councillors and 

six Iwi representatives, who willown and 

operate the ThreeWaters infrastructure 

on behalf of local authorities. 

Publicinfrastructure belongstoall New 

Zealanders,and the managementoflocal 

assetsshould stay with local, 

democratically electedrepresentatives. 

The Māori Health Authorityisanother 

example of adivided system—one for 

those with Māori heritage and another for 

everyone else. 

The deliveryofpublic services 

particularly healthcare should be for 

everyone and on the basisofneed, not 

ethnicity. That is not to say that we don’t 

need to focus on those Māori in need, but 

we can do thatwithin the one system, with 

the likes of Whānau Ora and other 

community providerswho can providea 

‘by Māori for Māori’ approach. 

But afractured,divided and ultimately 

separate system thatseeks to split New 

Zealand, will inevitablylead to inequities. 

KAIKŌURA VIEWS 

MAYOR CRAIG MACKLE 

Council relief fund 

Cyclone Gabrielle has left havoc and 

devastation in the North Island, on a 

scale second to none, that will have far 

reaching implications for the whole 

country. 

But for now there are many 

communities up there thatneed all 

the help we can give. 

If you would like to help, recovery 

teams on the ground are asking for 

financial donations instead of donated 

goods. 

As acouncil we have setupa 

Cyclone ReliefBankAccount to coordinate 

financial contributions on 

behalf of the district. 

All funds will be redistributed in 

the effected regions oncethey are able 

to get their own funds up and running. 

Information on how to donate is now 

available on the kaikoura.govt.nz 

home page. 

We ourselves dodged abullet. 

While therewas over 300mm of rain, 

it mainly fell in the ranges, and our 

infrastructure held up well around the 

district. 

On ahappiernote,Ihadthe 

pleasure of presenting four new Kiwis 

with citizen certificates at the Council 

Chambers last week. 

Will and Ithen attended the opening 

of the newly renovated Kekerengu 

Community Hall. 

It really is acredit to all involved, as 

the end resultisquite stunning. 

While there we presented Sue 

Murray with awelldeserved 

Community Services Medal. 

Notonly was she the main drive 

behind the hall achievement, but it 

was alsotoacknowledge her many 

years of dedicatedservice to the 

community. 

Good on you Sue. 

It’s good to see the townisstill busy 

with lots of people about. 

We have done 10.1km of resealing 

around the district and I'm happy to 

say we are on track withdelivering 

what we said we would do in the longterm 

plan. 

Iamlooking forward to the 

Kaikoura A&PShow this weekend. 

Big thank you

Looking back,tolook 

forward 

Dear Editor, 

The climate weather bomb that hit the 

NorthIsland bringsback memories of 

July 13, 1945—Iwas 7. 

During the evening ahowling 

Nor’West gale wroughthavoc,felling 

trees,blockingroads andbringingdown 

powerlines. 

Next morning we awoke to absolute 

silence, only to look out on 18 inches of 

snow that hadfallen post midnight. 

Theonly sound was snowladen 

branches, cracking off trees. 

Thenit froze for two weeks, followed 

by amassive flood someweeksafter. 

We had acoal/wood stove that alsokept 

the water hot,and the immediate living 

area warm,and the all important water 

supplywas from rainwater tanksthat 

collected roof water.Outsidepiping was 

all lagged. 

The power generatingwindmill in the 

back yard was useless, as all through the 

freeze there was no wind. Alittle petrol 

motor kept the batteries toppedup. 

So Ihave to ask these questionsgiven 

that manyare of the opinion thatassolar 

and windare being promoted as some 

sort of panacea to guarantee the future 

powersupplies. 

Solarpanels covered in frozensnow? 

Freezingtemperatures, equals no 

wind. 

Comeon climate experts, answer 

please. 

It is reported thatAntarctic 

temperatures are currentlyupto–20deg 

below normalfor this timeof year,so 

what happens whenabubble of that subzeroair 

rushes up throughthe moisture 

laden atmospheretoNewZealand this 

winter? 

IknowI’ve some candles in adrawer, 

somewhere, so if my standby gas runs out 

I’ll be able to see. 

Thewatersupplyisgravity—till the 

pipes freeze up,but at least the ol’ Weka 

Creek will keep flowing. 

Yours, 

John McCaskey,

ECan rates could rise 10% 


Local Demcoracy Reporter 

Environment Canterbury is 

recommending an average rates 

rise of 10 percent. 

Councillors adopted the draft 

2023/24 annual plan at acouncil 

meeting on Wednesday, 

February 15, but some were wary 

of arates rise amid achallenging 

economic environment. 

The proposed rates rise was 

more than double the 4.6% rates 

rise projected in the 2021/31 

Long Term Plan. 

Chairperson Cr Peter Scott 

said a10% rates rise was not 

ideal, but it was necessary to 

enable the council to deliver on 

its work programme in ahigh 

inflation environment. 

‘‘We are mindful of the 

pressures on ratepayers. We take 

this seriously and we are up for 

the challenge.’’ 

Deputy chairperson Cr Craig 

Pauling said the draft annual 

plan was underpinned by public 

transport, funding flood recovery 

and replenishing the council’s 

general resource, which were 

committed to in last year’s 

2022/23 annual plan. 

‘‘It is great to see the support 

around the room and we 

acknowledge 10% is abig rise. 

‘‘In our last Long Term Plan we 

introduced anumber of 

significant initiatives and that is 

still happening in the work that 

we are doing.’’ 

Cr Claire McKay said she 

supported adopting the draft 

annual plan, but was 

‘‘uncomfortable’’ with a10% 

rates rise. 

Forward planning ... Environment 

Canterbury met earlier this month to 

adopt its draft 2023/24 annual plan. 

PHOTO:DAVID HILL 

She said she looked forward to 

hearing submissions from the 

community. 

Cr Grant Edge said the council 

had taken ‘‘a socially responsible 

position’’ in developing its draft 

annual plan with a10% rates rise 

as ‘‘a starting point for 

community discussion’’. 

‘‘Right now New Zealand is 

being impacted by the 

unprecedented impacts of 

climate change and Iwill be 

interested in what people will 

think about our response.’’ 

Cr Ian Mackenzie said he 

supported the intention of the 

annual plan, but he noted the 

frustrations of Selwyn farmers 

having to wait for flood 

prevention work to be carried 

out. 

‘‘Several rating districts have 

been badly impacted by flooding 

and landowners have expressed 

frustrations at seeing that work 

being held back, so there will be 

some momentum for change 

when we come to do the next 

Long Term Plan.’’ 

Cr Vicky Southworth said while 

a10% rates rise was ‘‘going to be 

tough for our community’’, the 

council was ‘‘chasing our tail’’ 

when responding to climate 

events such as flooding. 

‘‘It feels like we need abetter 

mechanism for funding flood 

prevention work. We need to 

work closely with our community 

around how we can involve rates 

and understanding how targeted 

rates work.’’ 

Cr Tutehounuke Korako said 

the council needed to engage 

with landowners /mana whenua, 

who were the ratepayers, as well 

as engaging with Papatipu 

Runanga. 

Cr John Sunckell 

congratulated staff on keeping 

the rates rise at 10% in a 

challenging environment, 

including the recent flood events 

and amid 7.2% inflation. 

The draft annual plan will be 

out for public consultation from 

February 27 to April 3. 

Councillors also passed a 

motion from Cr Joe Davies asking 

staff to present areport to the 

March 22 council meeting on the 

logistics of livestreaming council 

meetings to make them more 

accessible to the general public.

Colourful cabinet in Woodend 


Colourful renditions of Kowhai and 

Heron, Kingfisher and flax adorn the 

sides of telephone circuit cabinets in 

Kaiapoi and Woodend. 

Woodend artist Angela Doig has been 

working on the second of two cabinets 

she is painting as part of the Chorus 

Cabinet Art Programme. 

Chorus called for submissions from 

artists, professional or amateur, to 

colour over 11,000 telecommunications 

cabinets across New Zealand. 

They were looking for budding artists 

to showcase their skills and bring some 

colour to their neighbourhoods. 

Mrs Doig says she applied for three of 

the four positions under offer in the 

Waimakariri District and got two 

cabinets to paint. 

‘‘It takes acouple of days to paint each

‘‘I put Kowhai and Heron on the one in 

Kaiapoi, and this one in Woodend will

She says it has been hard work at 

times as the recent weather hasn’t 

played ball. 

‘‘It was hot work under the sun and the 

high temperatures we had acouple of 

weeks ago and now it’s been raining so I 

just have to fit it in when Ican.’’ 

The well known marathon runner says 

her passion for painting is apart time 

hobby she fits in between training and

The Chorus cabinet art initiative 

began in 2010 with atest pilot in

of vandalism to their 

telecommunications cabinets. 

It proved so successful they have 

extended it throughout the country and 

now complete on average 100 murals a

The Eldernet Group is encouraging all 

New Zealanders to take part in the 2023 

Census. 

It says inaction could have significant 

consequences for people and those they 

love. 

Eldernet warns as the population 

grows older, it is crucial for the 

Government to understand key issues 

around ageing. 

Knowing the types of challenges faced 

by people, such as housing, mobility 

issues, and health factors, helps provide 

the Government with ablueprint for how 

to keep people ageing well, it says. 

‘‘It’s important every older person has 

their voice heard in this year’s census to 

ensure that the information available to 

Government is fully representative,’’ the 

group says. 

People are urged to take part, even if 

they felt excluded last Census because 

the impetus for the 2018 model was on 

going digital. 

Statistics New Zealand has pledged to 

have twice as many census collectors — 

which will bring the numbers of 

collectors closer to that of pre2018 

levels. 

Paper forms will be easier to access, 

and more community events, where 

people can dropin and get help with the 

census, have been organised across the 

country. 

The organisation has also partnered 

with Age Concern and SeniorNet to 

provide more support for older New 

Zealanders. 

This will include handson assistance 

from volunteers to fill out forms (either 

online or paper) and help accessing 

additional resources, such as large print 

census forms and information in te reo 

Māori and other languages.

walks and getting into the 

garden. 

“I wouldn’t say I’m overly 

active, but Ialso don’t want to 

be restricted in my mobility,” 

Murray explained. 

“Like most of us, I’ve had 

knee and ankle injuries over 

the years. Whenever that 

happens, you really see the

the independence that they

With young grandchildren, 

Murray believes in the 

importance of using natural 

compounds to support healthy

“I really want to make sure

Local decisions best 


Submissions close on the review into the 

Future For Local Government at the end 

of February. 

Hurunui District’s Mayor Marie Black 

says this review serves as an opportunity 

to rebuild the trust and confidence in 

what local councils deliver, and creates 

aclear and positive pathway for 

communities for the future. 

Promoting decision making at local 

level, creating and maintaining the 

sense of belonging in local communities, 

and seeking secure and equitable 

funding, are key points discussed by the 

Mayor and councillors at arecent 

workshop at the council. 

Mrs Black says building astronger and 

more resilient relationship between 

local government and central 

government is vital, which will continue 

to strengthen the stance for local 

government to champion the wellbeing 

of its community. 

Tapping into some government 

funding to build affordable houses, as an 

example, supports the growth of 

communities as employment 

opportunities exist and communities are 

welcoming. 

‘‘Housing stock is the issue, therefore 

allowing local government to initiate 

this would help sustain our rural 

communities.’’ 

Mayor Black says the future sits 

around the idea of subsidiarity — 

decisions being made at community 

level. 

‘‘The focus needs to be around citizenled 

democracy. 

‘‘In Hurunui we have had the long held 

belief and advocacy for community 

decision making, and would support this 

to continue beyond the reform. 

‘‘We have learned through local 

disasters that localled will always bring 

the best outcomes,’’ she says. 

Mrs Black says for this reason she, her 

fellow councillors, are opposed to one of 

the proposals in the draft review. 

‘‘Communities must be able to retain 

their identity and sense of belonging.’’ 

In the submission to government, Mrs 

Black and her councillors are requesting 

apause on the Three Waters Reform 

proposal, until the review for Future for 

Local Government is complete and local 

councils can redesign their future first. 

‘‘How can we get excited about this 

massive opportunity to design our 

future, when for adistrict like ours, we 

are very focused on retaining the 

opportunity to deliver to the community 

the services they deserve, like good 

water?” 

Communityled democracy and being 

on the ground to serve its own people 

will remain the focus for Hurunui 

District Council. In addition, astrong 

relationship with agovernment creates 

confidence in funding streams and will 

certainly help. 

‘‘We have always managed and we 

always will, but I’m sure we could do 

things better if we had greater equity of 

funding to do that.’’ 

Submissions close on February 28. To 

learn more, visit 

futureforlocalgovernment.govt.nz/.

Disc golf is one step closertobecoming 

areality in Kaiapoi. 

The KaiapoiTuahiwi Community

The organisers of the competition,

community. 

The award for the best young 

achiever will be presented at the 

Amuri Show on Saturday March 4. 

Coorganiser and past president of 

the Amuri A& PAssociation Don 

McLean says it’s agreat way to thank 

the many young people who work 

tirelessly in the community. 

‘‘We are looking for those aged under 

30 who are community minded, and 

who do volunteer work for 

organisations such as St John, sporting 

clubs, youth groups or those working to 

help others in their community.’’ 

He says it is actually very hard each 

year to pick awinner as there are so 

many wonderful young people working 

without seeking accolades. 

‘‘It is away to acknowledge their 

contribution to our communities in the 

district, their efforts at helping others 

and their commitment to staying in the 

community and continuing to help 

where they can.’’ 

Mr McLean says the Young 

Achievers Award was started more 

than 25 years ago.

RMA reform needs to stop and be reworked 

Beef +Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) 

supports the need for reforming the 

Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), 

but opposes the proposed new Bills in 

their current form. 

It is calling on the Government to halt 

the introduction of any new rules, 

including the RMA reform. 

B+LNZ made its submission on the 

Governments RMA reform consultation 

last Friday. 

It agrees reform is needed to improve 

efficiency and effectiveness, but calls on 

the Government to withdraw and rework 

the proposed Bills. 

B+LNZ chief executive Sam McIvor 

says B+LNZ has worked with awide 

range of sector groups as his 

organisation has developed its 

submission, and the groups all have 

similar concerns. 

Any reform of New Zealand's resource 

management system will impact the way 

sheep and beef farmers will be able to 

farm. 

‘‘It is therefore critical that such a 

substantial reform process is well 

thoughtout and will lead to positive 

change. 

‘‘Significant concern has been 

expressed across the sector, and 

beyond, about the process to date, and 

the resulting proposed Bills. Put simply, 

the Government has not got it right yet. 

‘‘It has been very difficult to assess 

and provide comprehensive feedback 

on the Bills within the limited 

timeframe of the consultation period, 

and with incomplete information. 

‘‘It’s yet another example of the 

Government trying to do too much, too 

fast. 

‘‘They need to hit pause and take the 

time to get this right, and work with the 

people this will affect to ensure we all 

get the best outcomes,’’ Mr McIvor says. 

Farmers are already grappling with 

too much change, he says. 

They were overwhelmed with the 

environmentrelated policy changes 

that have already come their way, on top 

of labour shortages and high onfarm 

inflation. 

‘‘For some they’re also now faced with 

A&P Assoc seeks new members 

TheNorthern A&PAssociation is 

lookingfor newmembers to get

As itsannualmeeting approaches 

on March 1, presidentGraeme Green 

says anyonewishing to be involved 

canstandfor committee, or justjoin 

theassociationand lend ahand

‘‘We hope to get people with new 

ideasand enthusiasm, and maybe

Mr Green says Rangiorahas alot of

anditwouldbegreat to get them

He says thereare some great

But theassociationdid not justrun

Being on theshow committee 

involvedmonthlymeetings and some

‘‘Weneed helpinthe leaduptothe

The association provides the

dealing with rebuilding their businesses 

after severe weather events.’’ 

The Government announced its 

intention to replace the RMA through 

three bills in February 2021. 

Two bills are now at the select 

committee stage —the Natural and 

Built Environment Bill (NBE Bill) and 

the Spatial Planning Bill (SP Bill). 

The NBE Bill would provide for a 

National Planning Framework (NPF), 

which is yet to be released, that would 

replace existing pieces of national 

direction. 

‘‘Without that detail, it’s impossible to 

provide afull analysis of the direction 

and implementation of the new bills, 

and therefore the impact on farmers.’’

What’s happening in your 

community… 

Happy Campers set for Kaiapoi 

The New Zealand Motor Caravan Association has 

this week opened its new motor caravan park in 

the Red Zone area of Kaiapoi East. 

The caravan park realises akey component of the 

Kaiapoi Town Centre Plan which was adopted by 

the Waimakariri District Council in 2018. Council’s 

vision was to ensure the future of Kaiapoi as New 

Zealand’s best rivertown. 

As well as establishing the now thriving Marine 

Precinct inKaiapoi, there was also the aim of 

developing amotor caravan site within the Red 

Zone Kaiapoi East area of the town centre. 

Waimakariri District Council’s Senior Business and 

Centre’s Advisor Vanessa Thompson says Council is 

pleased to welcome the NZCMA to Kaiapoi through 

the opening of its new motor caravan park. 

“The NZMCA has worked incredibly hard over 

the past year, overcoming some challenges and 

considerations inthe development process to 

realise its vision for the park, and we congratulate 

them on reaching this important milestone.” 

James Imlach, NZMCA National Manager -Property 

&Policy says NZMCA is excited to be able to offer a 

great new camping option toits members. 

“The NZMCA isextremely grateful tothe council 

and local community for this opportunity to 

provide our members with asafe and convenient 

place to stay, while visiting Kaiapoi.” 

“Members are looking forward toshopping and 

eating out in town, while making the most of 

Kaiapoi’s bike trails, walking tracks, and familyfriendly 

activities.” 

Vanessa Thompson says Council hopes the motor 

caravan park will be agreat catalyst for further 

development inthe Mixed-Use Business areas of 

Kaiapoi, as well as bringing aneconomic boost to 

the town. 

“We look forward to the additional town centre 

vibrancy and custom NZMCA members will bring to 

Kaiapoi businesses, retail, and hospitality outlets, 

particularly over the summer months.”

(Luke 11:52) 

THE RESURRECTION 

The first century believers believed in the hope of the 

resurrection. The Lord Jesus confirmed this belief when 

speaking to His friend Martha,whenher brother Lazarus had 

died, “Jesus saidunto her, Thy brother shall riseagain. Martha 

saidtoHim, Iknow that he shall rise againinthe resurrection 

at the last day. Jesus said toher, Iamthe resurrection and 

the life,hethatbelievesinme, though he weredead, yetshall 

he live”.
