  • Omokoroa Community Board Report
    November 2016 Volume: 14 Issue: 09 Omokoroa Community Board Report by Murray Grainger Chairman The structure of the Omokoroa Community Board for the next triennium was ratified at the formal swearing in ceremony, held in Te Puke on 10th November. After all the newly elected Council and Community Board members were sworn in, a brief first meeting was held to appoint the Chairman and Deputy. I was elected as Chairman and Teresa Sage as Deputy along with Peter Presland and Derek Sage. We are joined by John Palmer and Margaret Murray-Benge, the Councillors appointed by the Mayor to work with us. John, of course, served on the Community Board before stepping up to Councillor level and Margaret has a wealth of experience at Councillor level. We are keen to engage with our community and it was made abundantly clear in our initial induction sessions that our new Mayor, Garry Webber, wants future plans for WBPDC to be led from the ground up, not the top down. To that end, we are exploring ways and means of making it easy for the residents and ratepayers of Omokoroa to engage and feel involved in what happens in the next three years and to steer the vision for the future of Omokoroa over the following 10 – 20 years. Although we may have a higher proportion of retirees than the national average, there are others here with commitments that make it hard for them to get along to meetings or to put in submissions etc. so we have created an online forum to assist.

    41 Date 12 September 2018 Open Session Subject Waihi Beach Monitoring Western Bay of Plenty District Council Waihi Beach Community Board Waihi Beach Monitoring Purpose and Summary The purpose of this paper is to provide feedback to the Community Board on the compliance monitoring service provided to the Waihi Beach community during the 2017/18 holiday season, and update them on future compliance monitoring activities. Recommendation THAT the Compliance and Monitoring Manager's report dated 12 September 2018 and titled Waihi Beach Monitoring be received. Alison Curtis Compliance and Monitoring Manager A32765233276523 Page 1 42 Date 12 September 2018 Open Session Subject Waihi Beach Monitoring 1. Background Council has undertaken compliance monitoring at Waihi Beach for 3 consecutive holiday seasons. The need for monitoring was identified by the Waihi Beach Community Board to address issues with freedom camping, parking and dogs on beaches, specifically over the peak holiday season. The fi rst monitoring year for monitoring was 2015/16, where Council trialled the monitoring contract for the 2015/16 summer peak season with Watchdog Security. This was for the peak period only of the 3rd Friday in December until close of Waitangi weekend. This period was in line with the prohibited period for freedom camping at Anzac Bay, within Council's freedom camping bylaw, that was passed by Council in late 2015. This contract also included parking and dogs on beach monitoring. The second monitoring season for 2016/17, Council approved a further monitoring contract, this contract was with First Security, following a Council tender process. The contract period was extended to include weekends from Labour weekend through to Easter (inclusive) on feedback from the community.
