  • Wanganui District Council 0251659264 Community Views Survey April 2014
    2014 Wanganui District Council 0251659264 Community Views Survey April 2014 Prepared for: Wanganui District Council Prepared by: Versus Research EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Versus Research was commissioned by Wanganui District Council (Council) to conduct Council’s annual Community Views Survey (CVS). This survey identifies the perceptions that residents of Wanganui District (residents) have on a wide range of measures, including the services and facilities provided by Council. Versus Research also conducted Council’s CVS in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Interviewing for the CVS 2014 was carried out via telephone1, consistent with previous years, between the 1st and the 16th of April. The final sample size was n=411 which gives a maximum margin of error of +/- 4.83 per cent at the 95 per cent confidence interval. The findings are primarily analysed by suburb and where relevant, by socio-economic groups. The results are compared to the CVS conducted in 2013 (n=400), 2012 (n=400), 2011 (n=418), and 2010 (n=418). The CVS this year, as with previous years, asked residents about their: Participation in recreational and cultural activities. Preparedness for an emergency. Perceptions towards Wanganui Airport. Feelings of safety in the CBD and at home. Opinions on the quality of life in Wanganui and intentions to move from Wanganui. Satisfaction with a range of Council facilities and services. Community wellbeing and sense of belonging. Opinions on Council’s governance on a range of measures. Awareness of, and perceptions towards, the Rural Community Board (rural residents only). The most popular recreational activities identified by Wanganui residents were similar to 2013: visiting a beach (82%), using the Whanganui Riverbank Walkway (78%), using or visiting a Premier Park (78%), and using or visiting a neighbourhood park (76%).

  • NBL Round One Preview
    NBL Round One Preview Christchurch Cougars v Easy LPG Bay Hawks When: Thursday March 4, 7pm Where: Cowles Stadium Christchurch Projected Starting Fives Cougars Bay Hawks PG: Jeremy Kench Jarrod Kenny SG: Aidan Daly Everard Bartlett SF: Paora Winitana Chris Daniel PF: Trent Wurtz Ben Hill C: Lionel Hopgood Jamil Terrell The Cougars had a very successful debut season last year, winning their home quarter final against the Harbour Heat and nearly upsetting the champions Waikato Pistons in the semi finals. The Hawks struggled last season but scraped into the playoffs being the only team to make the playoffs with a losing record (7 wins 9 losses). This year the Hawks have bolstered their squad with the additions of former Canterbury players Nat Connell and Dave Langrell, and have recruited some notable imports in the league, former league MVP Josh Pace and NBL Championship winner Jamil Terrell. The Cougars meanwhile have ironically recruited former Hawks player Aidan Daly, while Jeremy Kench and Mark Morrison return to Canterbury after a season with the Hawks. The Cougars franchise signing last year Paul Henare returns to his hometown to play for the Hawks, but is questionable on how much he is going to play this season. Import Tim Behrendorff will not be with the Cougars for the first game because he currently is with the Wollongong Hawks who will be playing in the Australian NBL Finals. For the Hawks they will not have Josh Pace for the game. Last season the two teams split their meetings, Cougars winning 83-74 away and the Hawks winning 86-81 away.
