Coromandel is supplied on a spur off a hard tee connection at Kaimarama and does not have its own dedicated 66kV supply circuit. Historically, the area has always been exposed to long duration outages particularly during extreme weather conditions. Proposed solution Powerco propose to install a new, ≈4km, 110kV-capable underground cable between Kaimarama & Whitianga on road reserve of State Project solution overview Highway 25. This will resolve the capacity constraint between Kaimarama and Whitianga supplying load to the three substations. It will also create a new dedicated 66kV circuit for Coromandel through the removal of the hard tee connection at Kaimarama. The existing 66kV bus 1 Forecast expenditure is based on Powerco’s financial year (i.e. FY19 is for the period April 2018 through March 2019).

    SCHOOL WEEKLY NEWSLETTER: - Monday 24th June 2019 Kia ora koutou katoa, With only two weeks to go until the end of term two we still have lots to finish before the break. This Friday we have our senior Rippa team heading to Hamilton for the Waikato Triangular Tournament, two teams will be heading to Paeroa College for the Ki O Rahi and Tapuwae tournament and our Junior Epro 8 team will head to Katikati College for the finals series. Good luck to all participants, remember to play hard, play fair and represent your school and yourself with mana. Tomorrow we take on Matatoki School at basketball. This is a fun game organised for both schools to build relationships and friendly competition amongst each other. Kia kaha! As you are aware the teachers are currently voting to either accept or reject the governments latest collective agreement offer. Voting closes tomorrow. We are hoping to report a positive conclusion to this continuing dispute. I can confirm we have had our annual school audit of accounts and am happy to report that the annual financial statements presented fairly, this means they were free of misstatement or fraud and that there was no risk. Thank You A big thank you to Steve Walmsley for helping with the new ropes that have been added to the maypole. Kids are enjoying having this back in action.
