  • Port Albert Methodist Church 1862-1967
    Port Albert Methodist Church 1862-1967 Port Albert Methodist Church 1862-1967 PREFACE This booklet is prepared as a Memorial to those who carried on the work of the Methodist Church in the Port Albert Circuit. Ministers, Home Missionaries and their wives; Students and Local Preachers, Youth Workers and all who have helped construct and maintain the buildings. Many whose names are not mentioned in this short history have contributed to and shared the Faith. Our especial thanks to Rev. E. W. Hames for preparing and writing this brief account. H. Neal and L. W. Bennett for Church Trust. "THE BEST OF ALL IS GOD IS WITH US." To give and give and give again What God has given thee To spend thyself nor count the cost To serve right gloriously The God who gave all worlds that are And all that are to be. (Studdart Kennedy) Port Albert Methodist Church 1862-1967 Methodism in Port Albert It should not be necessary to tell again at length the 'story of the Albertland settlements. This has been done fully and ably in THE ALBERTLANDERS by Sir Henry Brett and Henry Hook, published 1927, and in the Albertland Centennial Booklet, 1962. The founders of the district planned to do on a smaller scale on behalf of English Nonconformists what had already been accomplished by the Scottish Free Church in Otago and by the Anglicans in Canterbury. It must not be forgotten that at this date the Nonconformists were still second-class citizens in England. Those who joined the Association were fired by the ambition to acquire broad acres in a country where they might hope to be free from the disabilities that still attached to them in the land of their birth.

GARETH FERGUSON, pictured left, was placed 3rd in floor, 4th in vault and 5th on rings for Level 7 Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) when competing at Auckland Manukau Gymnastics Championships over Queens Birthday weekend. Gareth, 15 years old, has now qualified to compete in floor apparatus at Nationals in July and will compete as part of the Northland representative team. He competes at Level 7 which is decided by gymnastic ability, not age, and trains at Whangarei Academy of Gymnastics (WAGs). The Nationals (officially called the New Zealand Gymnastic Championships) will be at The Trusts Arena, Henderson, Auckland from 20 to 24 July. BERNIE HALL, pictured right, representing Kaiwaka Fitness Center, won his qualifying Deadlift on June 5th, at the GPC Winter Warmup 2021 Qualifier in Avondale, with a 260 lift. He now goes on to the Masters Nationals on July 17th in Albany And he finally got his elusive Nationals Deadlift certificate of 266kg from GPC (Global Powerlifting Committee) Push/pull December 2020 competition.

Local economic development brings together a range of players to build up the economic capacity of a local area and improve its economic future and quality of life for individuals, families and communities. Auckland’s economic development Auckland has a diverse economy. While central Auckland is dominated by financial, insurance and other professional services, parts of south and west Auckland have strengths in a range of manufacturing industries. In other areas, tourism is a key driver and provides a lot of local employment while there are also areas that are primarily residential where residents commute to the city centre or one of the industrial precincts for employment. The Auckland region also has a significant primary sector in the large rural areas to the north and south of the region. The Auckland Growth Monitor1 and Auckland Index2 tell the story behind Auckland’s recent economic growth. While annual GDP growth of 4.3 per cent per year over the last five years is encouraging, we want our economy to be more heavily weighted towards industries that create better quality jobs and generate export earnings.

  • 1. Summary: 2. Background
    To: Auckland Regional Council – Transport and Urban Development Committee From: Campaign for Better Transport Regarding: Faster and more cost effective approach to improving State Highway One between Puhoi and Wellsford 1. Summary: The Campaign for Better Transport (CBT) is a non-politically aligned group that advocates for more balanced, cost-effective and sustainable transport policy decisions. The CBT is concerned that the “Puhoi to Wellsford road of national significance”, which is currently under investigation by the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), is an extremely expensive project that is not economically justified. That being said, the CBT is well aware that the Puhoi to Wellsford stretch of State Highway One (SH1) suffers from unacceptable safety and congestion problems. Therefore, the CBT has proposed a much more cost-effective and faster approach to improving this stretch of SH1. The CBT seeks that the Auckland Regional Council (ARC) adopts the CBT’s approach as the ARC’s preferred solution to the problems faced along this road and advocates to NZTA and the Minister of Transport for this alternative approach. 2. Background: In May 2009 the Government released an updated Government Policy Statement on land transport funding 2009/10-2018/191. As part of that document, seven “roads of national significance” (RoNS) were proposed for construction within the next decade, one of which is the upgrade to SH1 between Puhoi and Wellsford. Prior to the release of the May 2009 GPS, there had been little planning for the Puhoi- Wellsford RoNS, beyond upgrades to the existing route, some small deviations and a bypass of Warkworth.
