ALL NEWS from LOCAL clubs, schools and non-profit organizations we try to fit in printed free of charge. 2 Editor’s Note Over the last 3 years of helping Vicki with the Karaka Kronicle, we’ve made a few changes to how we put it together, distribute it, and communicate with our advertisers and community group contributors. A monthly reminder email is sent to our database of advertisers and community groups to remind them of the deadline for sending in content. The result being growth from 36-40 pages per month to 52-56 pages (pre-Covid), which has settled back to 48 pages in recent times. Our print runs have increased to 1600 copies per month delivered to rural letterboxes in the Karaka area, and a number of cafés and retailers who make it available for their “walk-in” clients. To increase our print runs to encompass the rapidly growing Karaka urban area, we would potentially triple our print run and costs, and would therefore require a significant increase in the number and cost of advertising. To increase the engagement with our urban area and make them more aware of the local Karaka community groups we now post a colour version of the Kronicle on the Karaka Sportspark website and Facebook page, along with the Karaka Lakes Group Facebook page. We hope to add the Karaka Harbourside Group Facebook page to this soon. Although there are still the regular articles from some community groups, we are always looking for more interesting articles, special events, school fundraisers, and historical stories and photos about Karaka and the surrounding districts. As a volunteer run publication, we rely on our community groups to provide that content to help promote their upcoming activities and events, and tell us about their results. Vicki and I will look to visit some community group & club meetings over the coming weeks & months to try and increase the awareness. Obviously all of this needs to be paid for, and our advertisers are the key to this. No-one will read a book of advertisements, but equally there wouldn’t be a Karaka Kronicle without them. We still want to cater to the traditional rural community selling hay, etc, but are also looking to help connect the rural and urban communities of Karaka. We’re really keen to receive feedback from the community. Please email us your ideas for improving the relevance of the Karaka Kronicle to you.

Congestion pricing involves implementing a charge (or charges) to manage demand on the road network. This can encourage users to change their travel behaviour - the time, route, or mode by which they travel. The committee’s inquiry is informed by the Ministry of Transport (in conjunction with partner agencies Waka Kotahi, Auckland Transport, Auckland Council, Treasury and the Public Service Commission) technical investigation report into Auckland congestion pricing. The report explores a number of different congestion pricing systems used overseas to reduce congestion and improve travel times. It found a congestion pricing system could reduce congestion in Auckland by around 8- 12% when fully implemented, like travel experienced during the school holidays. Officials have found that a larger strategic corridors scheme would be the most beneficial option for congestion pricing in Auckland, and could be phased in. More information on the reports can be found here www.transport.govt.nz/ area-of-interest/auckland/the-congestion-question The committee is interested to hear people’s thoughts on the idea of introducing congestion pricing in Auckland. It will be guided in its inquiry by the terms of reference. Any decision to implement congestion pricing would be made as a joint decision between Auckland Council and Central Government. The closing date for submissions is midnight Thursday, 20 May 2021 which can be made on the following link www.parliament.nz/en/ ECommitteeSubmission/53SCTI_SCF_INQ_109499/CreateSubmission Happy to take your feedback on these or any other things that are on your mind on the above contacts Alan 7 8 GPS Boomspraying Gorse and broom spraying, etc Registered Chemical handler and applicator.

  • Young People's Perspectives on Youth Employment in Franklin
    Young People’s Perspectives on Youth Employment in Franklin, Auckland Scoping Research for Auckland Council August 2015 Fouche, C. Kim, H. 2 Executive Summary Rising youth unemployment coupled with the need to generate more local employment opportunities have been key issues for the Franklin Local Board. A gap in local knowledge towards developing sustainable solutions to these issues was identified and the perspectives of local young people sought regarding: barriers in the local employment sector opportunities in the local employment sector thoughts on being ‘work ready’ preparing young people for employment preparing local employers to employ young people A survey exploring these five issues was undertaken by 110 young people (aged 16-19 years) from Waiuku College, Pukekohe High School, Clevedon Presbyterian Church, Waiuku Youth Group, and Pukekohe Youth Centre in June and July 2015. Survey findings indicate that in terms of barriers, the majority of participants did not have any paid work, and felt finding local paid employment difficult. This was partly attributed to not enough work being available and ‘unsuitable’ employment – i.e. work opportunities did not match a young person’s skill set, and/or hours they were available to work, and/or were not accessible. With regards to opportunities, most survey participants indicated a wide interest in jobs - especially those which increased their skills and were linked to career prospects. Managing the challenge of non-flexible work hours was noted amongst many survey responses. Work readiness: the majority of participants felt confident to ‘start’ a job, but ‘finding’ a job seemed difficult. In being prepared for paid work, participants saw the importance of having work experiences and skills, a driver’s licence and getting timely information about available jobs.
