Watch the human visitor numbers increase from now, too. Some good news last week regarding how we support our visitors to Kaipara has seen Council successfully granted nearly $500,000 from the Tourism Infrastructure Fund for toilet and walkway development at Maungaturoto, Matakohe and Baylys Beach. This was 100% of the amount sought, and these projects will be fast-tracked with this funding now in place. Getting on with the job of strengthening the connections between the community and Council, we’ll soon be introducing a People’s Panel for Kaipara District. I’m delighted to introduce to you this idea which I first suggested for Kaipara back in March and now will be bursting into life soon. The idea is that at least 1000 self-selected Kaipara residents and ratepayers contribute their voice to local civic decisions through the Kaipara People’s Panel, a kind of online research forum to better connect Council with all our people. Expect to hear more on this innovative idea soon. We need you to make this great, get ready to sharpen your pencils! Sharpening our minds right now are issues of climate change, specifically predicted sea- level rise and how it may affect low-lying Kaipara communities, towns and settlements.

Next weekend will see the first to be held in Waipu. Todd Hamilton from Backyard Kiwi will lead the trapping workshop with Ngaire Tyson from Kiwi Coast and Steve Henderson, Northland Re- gional Council. Todd will explain why, in unprotected areas, 95 per cent of kiwi chicks don’t survive, and dem- onstrate the different types of traps, how to bait and set them, and how to check them regularly. With the kiwi released four years ago in Marunui now breeding, safe space is needed for them to spread out on both sides and across the Brynderwyn Hills (Piroa). A network of traps called ‘the ring of steel’ affords protection at the top of these hills. This network needs to expand further to the bush areas and farmland around Waipu, Langs Beach, Bream Tail and Man- gawhai to deal to the main threats to kiwi. Targeted rates funding from Northland Re- gional Council will be used to grow the trap net- work from around 400 to a target of 1000 over the next five years.

Kaipara District Council’s Community Grants Committee (CGC) has awarded $100,000 to commu- nity organisations across the district at its August 23 meeting. CGC chair Anna Curnow was delighted with the variety and breadth of applications. “A total of 37 organisations from the east through to the west applied for various amounts of funding through the Community Grants fund. This year there was a total of $100,000 available. Curnow said it was a real honour to be in the posi- tion to help many organisations to achieve their goals. “We do not make these decisions lightly. I would like to thank all those organisations that make appli- cations to us for assistance to continue their work in our communities. Council’s vision is to build thriving communities working together and these groups are key in delivering that vision.” Grants ranged in size from $438 for the Northern Wairoa Genealogy Society for operating costs, right Change is in the air.
