Papakuracourier.Co.Nz Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Theft Reignites Grief www.papakuracourier.co.nz Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Theft reignites grief By HINERANGI VAIMOSO IT’S been two years since members of Aaron Hubbard Tarry’s family first mourned his death. But their grief resurfaced this month after relatives arrived at Papakura South Cemetery to find his head- stone damaged and items, including a 22-inch mag wheel, missing. Aaron, 21, was well known in the Papakura district and took his life in July 2009. His family unveiled the headstone with inscriptions of love and remembrance embossed across it a year later. Laying across the grave were fluffy dice, the grille from a Mitsubishi VR-4 – Aaron’s last project before his death – a steering wheel and a big blue ceramic fish from one of the younger family members, dad Doug Tarry says. A 22-inch mag wheel was embedded in the top of the marble headstone to indicate Aaron’s passion for building and driving cars, brother Reece says. Another 17-inch chrome mag also adorned the grave. The chrome mag and the steering wheel were taken just over a week ago. The 22-inch mag was also chiselled off and stolen. Sitting in the centre of the mag was a picture of Aaron which was later found face-up on the stone fence along Gat- land Rd. The steering wheel was Desecrated: Reece Hubbard Tarry is ‘‘gutted’’ thieves have stolen a 22-inch mag wheel and other items from his brother Aaron’s grave in Papakura South Cemetery. also located.

A study just released reveals seven out of nine rural households in Papakura and Franklin burn their rubbish in illegal outdoor fires. The Papakura District Council study found many residents still believe burning rubbish is a practi- cal way to dispose of it. And many felt the amount of waste they burn isn’t enough to cause a problem. Technically that’s true, council waste minimisation project man- ager Sue Martin says. ‘‘But if you combine everybody’s fires, the effects are sizeable. ‘‘Household rubbish contains plastics, batteries, oil, paint and other materials that when burnt release toxins into the air that are harmful to human health.’’ Some of those toxins are known carcinogens. The health effects are in addition to the environmental effects on soil and water and the ecosystems that inhabit them, she says. Every year the Auckland Burning up: Papakura District Council staff are alarmed at the number of people illegally burning off household rubbish.

  • TAKING STORWMATER in AUCKLAND to a NEW LEVEL Phil Jaggard, Dukessa Blackburn-Huettner
    TAKING STORWMATER IN AUCKLAND TO A NEW LEVEL Phil Jaggard, Dukessa Blackburn-Huettner When Auckland Council became a unitary authority through the amalgamation of one regional council and seven territorial authorities, the management of stormwater in Auckland began its transformational journey. Following the initial creation of the Auckland Council Stormwater Unit (SWU) on 1 November 2010, the past four years has seen the SWU: • Create the SWU’s vision of a ‘water sensitive community’ • Build awareness - Water Sensitive Approach • Implement a structural realignment • Align internal processes and procedures • Consolidate data and information • Working collaboratively with the suppliers in ‘the way we work’ • Align and repackage all major operational contracts • Define roles and responsibilities with other council departments and Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs) The SWU is a key contributor to the Auckland Council’s vision for Auckland being ‘the world's most liveable city’ and the transformational shifts identified in the Auckland Plan. While significant progress has been made by the SWU since integration, there are still a number of challenges and opportunities to take stormwater management in Auckland to the next level by: • Defining regional levels of service within funding limits • Deliver stormwater infrastructure to service special housing areas in coordination with other major Auckland infrastructure providers • Optimise human resources through changing workloads, by balancing internal staff numbers with external consultants and contractors, to deliver best value for money • Define and enforce public vs private responsibilities in managing stormwater • Maximise environmental outcomes through collaboration This paper will provide an overview of how far the AC SWU has progressed as well as the challenges, opportunities and priorities propelling stormwater management to the next level, thereby contributing to the delivery of ‘the world’s most liveable city’.

  • Drury South Structure Plan
    Section One, Part 5 – Resource Management Strategy PART 5A RESOURCE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY OUTLINE AND RATIONALE 5A.1 STRATEGY OUTLINE The resource management strategy for Papakura District places priority upon the conservation and enhancement of the natural and physical resources of the District and the enablement of its community. The special values of the urban and rural landscape, ecological features, heritage resources, local amenity, and the role and future of the commercial precincts and the regional importance of mineral resources are matters recognised in this Plan. The integrated use, development and protection of these resources is provided for in a comprehensive manner which recognises the interrelationships of activities with each other and with the environment. The strategy embraced by the provisions of this District Plan is to: conserve and enhance those qualities which make Papakura District a distinctive and growing component of Auckland and the southern sub-region and a desirable place to live and work. The elements of the strategy include: 1. The protection and conservation of components of the natural environment such as native bush, the coastline, rivers and streams, ridgelines, habitats and ecosystems; 2. The management of the urban areas of the District such that the rural/urban nature of the District is retained and the quality of the coastline and both the quality and quantity of the water resources of the District are protected; 3. The encouragement of urban intensification and mixed use development within the Central Area with complementary areas of open space and the directing of new urban expansion to future urban areas identified in Appendix One or Schedule 1 to the RPS timed to include appropriately sized mixed-use nodes to complement and support those growth areas, and by enabling (where appropriate) commercial activities in other locations (in particular neighbourhood centres and other corridors), having regard to Policy 2.6.5 of the RPS; 4.
