PPI is keen to develop a Well done Paparoa! landscape plan for the area which can be implemented in stages. NRC have agreed to include the possibility of a boardwalk on the riverbank as part of long term flood protection measures. PPI deputy chair Graham Murray said that while it is disappointing our voluntary efforts won’t be able to continue, it is really good to get all the parties on board. The riverbank is the one blight on a really attractive area. Another plus is that we won’t be in danger of running foul of OSH requirements.

  • 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of the 2013 Census were not yet available so a large amount of information and analysis is unavailable or deemed to be out of date.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.

  • 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.
