  • Regional Transport Committee Approved Organisation Update June 2019
    Regional Transport Committee Approved Organisation Update June 2019 ORGANISATION NAME: Horowhenua District Council RTC REPRESENTATIVE: Mayor Michael Feyen 1. MAINTENANCE, OPERATIONS AND RENEWALS Pavement repairs and drainage work for next season’s reseals have begun around the district. This year’s reseals, which were undertaken by JJ Walters as subcontractors to Higgins, had all but one site completed by mid-December with the final site completed in April following completion of a minor safety improvement project. The road past the Gladstone Road slip has continued to be open full time. Geotechnical investigations have been carried out along the corridor of a possible realignment. The development of a business case has begun and a variation to the RLTP will be forthcoming. Work on this financial year’s rehabilitations progressed well except on Waitarere Beach Road where the discovery of a midden has held work up. The project has now been delayed until the new financial year. 2. WALKING AND CYCLING Council officers have met with the NZ Transport Agency and KiwiRail regarding a proposed shared pathway in the rail reserve in Levin from Tararua Road to Roslyn Road. This pathway would become the north/south spine for the shared pathway network through the town. KiwiRail have issues with trespassers illegally crossing the railway line all along the rail corridor in Levin and a fence could be installed at the same time to alleviate this concern. 3. ROAD SAFETY RURAL SPEED LIMIT REVIEW HDC have been undergoing a Rural Speed Limit Review with the aim to implement any new rural speed limits by the end of the financial year.

  • Ellis and Burnand
    Ellis and Burnand Ellis and Burnand was a New Zealand sawmilling and timber retailing company, formed by businessman John William Ellis and Ellis and Burnand Limited engineer Harry Burnand in 1891. Ellis and Burnand Ltd[1] was incorporated in 1903.[2] They were responsible for felling much of the native bush in the southern Waikato and northern Manawatu-Whanganui regions. Their operations expanded initially to supply the timber needs of the North Island Main Trunk railway as it was extended south. Once the railway opened, new mills were built to exploit previously hard to access 1905 head office on Bryce St, areas. Hamilton Fletcher Holdings bought the company in 1990, rebranding it as Founded 1890 PlaceMakers. Founder J. W. Ellis and J. H. D. Burnand Ellis & Burnand's cutting sites were linked to their sawmills by bush Defunct 1980 tramways, one of which forms the southern end of the Timber Trail cycleway, opened in 2013. Headquarters Hamilton, New Zealand Contents Origins Sites Otorohanga Mangapehi Hamilton Manunui Ongarue Waihou and Herriesville Waimihi Putaruru Raglan Directors Remnants References External links Origins locations and start dates of sawmills Ellis's first venture into timber milling seems to have started at Ōrākau, near Kihikihi (where he ran a store) in 1884,[3] though the sources differ on several dates in this period, some saying it wasn't until 1886.[1] He then employed 4 men on 2 saw benches, powered by an 8 hp portable steam engine.[4] Having started in 1884, Ellis seems to have left further expansion in milling for a few years.
