Answer Yes No! Why does Dargaville get 2 extra councillors when it is smaller than current Mangawhai! Mangawhai contributed to the majority of the rates compared to Dargaville. Mangawhai should be 2 wards. The Dargaville Ward should be removed. On the whole Mangawhai and Kaiwaka should be in Auckland or Rodney and not part of Kaipara. NoShould be one Not too bad if you must have wards More sense than the question No. We need community based wards. yes covers most peoples area of influence Yes No, nor does the question. For goodness sake!!!!! No Dargaville is seriously over represented. Time to do away with that ward. no Yes Yes No Yes Assuming the boundaries reflect census data. If Mangawhai is much larger, it may be time to move a councillor east Not really. Mangawhai has the highest growth and and population and yet just 2 representatives. I believe the representation should more reflect population distribution, at least 1 more councillor for this area. Should have left Kaiwaka and Mangawhai in with rest of Otamatea. Feel quite disconnected from them now. yes First off spell check your surveys. *Does not Doe!! Secondly check grammar. The above sentence makes absolutely no sense! 9 Answer Yes Yes though I think that Kaiwaka-Mangawhai (old OtamateaCounty) is overly represented while the old Hobson County is under represented - therefore there would be a joint extra councillor for West Coast-Central/Dargaville should get one more councillor. No Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes I do the west coast central ward should have at least three representatives due to it size .As there is no way that two people can represent that many people. Yes I think the Dargaville ward is over represented when compared with rapidly growing areas such as Mangawhai No they should be population based yes yes No. Yes but it makes sense to combine it all..we are only a small district, seems to me it would be more efficient and all wards would have access to better/ more qualified people. no West Coast-Central ward is to large, this should be split somehow, and how 2 councillors (or 2 and 1) for the 2 wards created. Could the Dargaville ward also be expanded? There is a large imbalance much when Otamatea had its own council YES Yes - West Coast - Central Ward is is a large area. Yes Yes, they are manageable and are representative of the population. However probably 2 wards would be sufficient No. Based on the number of rate payers at each ward it doesn't seem that Kaiwaka Mangawhai feels under represented 10 Answer Yes Yes yes No Yes its a good split No. Mangawhai is one of the fastest growing communities on North Island,yet we are underrepresented and ignored in Council. Not entirely. Representation of Dargaville and Mangawhai should be separate from the surrounding rural areas. yes No I would like to see Manawhai/Kaiwaka placed in Auckland ward as I believe Kaipara is a too big of ward , this would allow councillors to better serve us and not put up with the shit some of their residents cause. No no yes think that suit communities of interest quite well Yes, Perfect sense although if the CML project goes as planned (?) then there will need to be a review of the number of councillors. Although it would be difficult to justify additional councillors, The current ones will just have to work harder! No. Mangawhai should probably have more councillors No, should be based on population Yes No yes yes No Generally yes Sort of. I assume it is population based. Yes. No, Do not reflect ratepayer numbers, common interests or future growth projections If based on the old county council boundaries yes. Unsure as to why Dargaville should have two representatives? 11 Answer No No yes Yes Yes No. They should be similar area rather than population based. Split the West Coast-Central into two wards. West Coast North and West Coast South. Or add two Maori seats (Maori west and Maori East) The Maori West seat can assist the West Coast- Central Councillors effectively giving that section 3 representatives and Tangata whenua a voice for the west coast. A Tangata whenua voice for the East is also needed and will provide added assistance for the Otamatea, Kaiwaka - Mangawhai councillors. yes If based on population density of rate payers per ward being pretty much the same in each ward, then yes. If based upon geographical locations of business centers, then no. I firmly believe 3 of our wards should merge with Whangarei District and the 4th Ward: Mangawhai and Kaiwaka ward merge with Akld. No. The population growth in mangawhai area is not being duplicated at council level. It should also take into account owners who live outside of area as they are also affected Not at all. It was pushed through on out of date Census because the most recent census figures were not available. The +/- 10% (I think this was the number) was biased against Otamatea (i.e. Mangawhai) resulting in "us" being under-represented, and this aggravated even more because of the out of date Census. Interestingly since then Council seems to accept that Mangawhai is by far the quickest growing part of the District. Conversely Dargaville and others were in the -10%. By now the discrepancy is more likely +/- 20% and it appears that most of the "western" Mayor and Councillors are acting quite contrary to the interests of the Mangawhai community. No,for Mangawhai Dargaville is too far way. Cut Mangawhai from Kaiiwaka to Wellsford and Mangawhai Boundaries are fine but representation should be based on ward population Yes No.

  • Environmental Scan
    Kaipara District Council Environmental Scan August 2013 Intentional Blank 2127.02 / 2013-2014 KD Environmental Scan 2013 V2 A. Executive Summary This Environmental Scan was completed in July 2013. At the time of compiling this information, results of the 2013 Census were not yet available so a large amount of information and analysis is unavailable or deemed to be out of date. It is hoped that information from the 2013 Census will be available for inclusion in the next issue of the Environmental Scan. The purpose of this document is to provide a quick overview of the legal, social, economic, physical and technical environment in which the Council operates. This second issue of the environmental scan is to be followed by later editions which will ensure up to date information on key indicators is always available. The key findings which are highlighted within this Environmental Scan are: Legal Central government is presently reforming the local government sector. The next round of reforms will focus on Councils’ regulatory functions; The Local Government Commission is currently considering reorganisation of local government across the whole of Northland. This may involve amalgamation of Kaipara into one or more of the other local authorities; Auckland Council is developing its Unitary Plan. The Draft Unitary Plan allows for much greater intensification of Auckland and will create more intensified housing around transport and shopping nodes. Central Government is questioning this approach, suggesting that the plan allow more greenfield developments (urban sprawl). The availability and nature of housing in Auckland will have flow on effects for Kaipara. Social Most of the District’s towns have declining or stable school rolls.

  • Kaiwaka Clean up Or Not
    www.kaiwaka.co.nz Kaiwaka Bugle - 26 May, 2020 Page 1 No: 12 23 June 2020 Update from Waiheke Working Sail: THE KATE IS SAILING! Actually, we’ve been out twice with the mainsail. The first time was forecast wind E. 15 – 20 knots, so we put a reef in as a precaution. As well we did, it blew up to 25 kn plus! We pushed her hard and dipped the lee rail under. We lowered the staysail, and she handled the brisk conditions easily. Stretched the rigging, and found several leaks in the topsides, where the dry weather has shrunk the planks. The second outing was a much gentler affair. A light Southerly saw us sail off the mooring and tack out of the inlet, then sailing to and fro for a photo shoot, the crew each taking a turn at the helm. We even tried out the topsail, donated by Dave Giddens who made the sails, and it fits perfectly! Then it fell calm, and we motored home with a 2hp. outboard on the dinghy alongside. We’re very pleased with the Kate’s performance; she sails well, answers the helm readily and is nicely balanced, a delight to steer. Our big fundraising targets now are for the engine and propeller, and eventually certification under MOSS (Marine Operator Safety System). We still have the beautiful prints for sale, now portraying a dream come true, and any money you can donate is tax deductible, much appreciated.

  • Senseless Vandalism to Local Asset Kaipara Cycle Way / Walk Way Trails
    NOVEMBER 2019 Senseless vandalism to local asset During the night of October 26 the Paparoa War Memorial Hall was subjected to an act of mindless vandalism. The main entrance doors had all glass panels smashed and, at the emergency evacuation entrance facing the road, both wooden doors were wrenched from their frames and broken. All the upper windows on two sides were smashed out from the inside scattering glass widely over the carparks. The depressing sight was first noticed by a Pahi resident who alerted the police and the Hall committee. Once word got around many members of the community turned out to help clean up the mess and secure the building. The Hall Committee wishes to thank those many wellwishers who came down to offer assistance - Jane Bailey, Stephen Findlay, the Allardyce family, Dyan Taylor, Wayne Bennett and Audrey Waipouri, Brenda Elmbranch, Lawrie Stevens, Kerry and Joy Bonham, and Mike Dallow. To our local 'tradies', glazier Colin Heath, locksmith Bryce Frewin, builder Tim Magill and scaffold provider Wayne our hearfelt thanks go to you for your emergency work in order to secure the building. This community concern has been very much appreciated. It appears the perpetrator(s) was observed by a member of the public. Police were able to obtain forensic samples of blood and fingerprints and are following up on leads. Acts such as this are a shock to our community and an added burden to a small group of volunteers such as the Hall Committee who maintain the hall for all of us to use. While insurance will cover reinstatement of the building, the excess will need to be covered.
