  • Pre-Fabricated Homes Investment Prospectus
    Pre-fabricated Homes South Waikato District Investment Prospectus Council Nau mai, haere mai WEL COME From the Mayor Dear Investor, we are proud to present our District to you as you consider where in New Zealand to establish an offsite pre-fabricated home manufacturing facility. Since the early 1890s with native timber processing in Putāruru, through to the establishment of commercial forests of Pinus radiata in the 1920s and the building of the Kinleith Timber, Paper and Pulp Mill in 1954, the South Waikato has been at the forefront of technological innovations in timber processing. Timber is in the DNA of our people and communities, who are both ready and able to support your development. South Waikato District Mayor Jenny Shattock From the Chair (SWIFT) The South Waikato Investment Fund Trust (SWIFT) believes that Putāruru is an outstanding location to establish a large scale manufacturing facility. Financially the low cost of land, proximity to raw materials and labour, coupled with direct road and rail links makes for a compelling business case. The social impact of this kind of investment would be transformational, both directly and indirectly, accelerating the delivery of inclusive growth for one of New Zealand’s most progressive Districts. Ian Elliott, SWIFT Chairperson From the SWDC Chief Executive The South Waikato has a plentiful supply of low cost land, located on State Highway one, within two and a half hours’* drive time of over half of New Zealand’s population. With direct rail links to the Port of Tauranga and beyond, importing and exporting is simple and cost effective.

  • Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
    Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years. By Dr Rebecca Townsend 1 Key Points 1. 2. 3. Filipinos comprise 1 percent of Filipinos are a vital part of Most Filipinos in New Zealand are New Zealand’s population – the New Zealand’s dairy, healthcare, not Overseas Filipino Workers third largest Asian ethnic group construction, nursing, aged care, (OFW).

  • Local Government Leaders' Climate Change Declaration
    Local Government Leaders’ Climate Change Declaration In 2015, Mayors and Chairs of New Zealand declared an urgent need for responsive leadership and a holistic approach to climate change. We, the Mayors and Chairs of 2017, wholeheartedly support that call for action. Climate change presents significant opportunities, challenges and risks to communities throughout the world and in New Zealand. Local and regional government undertakes a wide range of activities that will be impacted by climate change and provides infrastructure and services useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience. We have come together, as a group of Mayors and Chairs representing local government from across New Zealand to: 1. acknowledge the importance and urgent need to address climate change for the benefit of current and future generations; 2. give our support to the New Zealand Government for developing and implementing, in collaboration with councils, communities and businesses, an ambitious transition plan toward a low carbon and resilient New Zealand; 3. encourage Government to be more ambitious with climate change mitigation measures; 4. outline key commitments our councils will take in responding to the opportunities and risks posed by climate change; and 5. recommend important guiding principles for responding to climate change. We ask that the New Zealand Government make it a priority to develop and implement an ambitious transition plan for a low carbon and resilient New Zealand. We stress the benefits of early action to moderate the costs of adaptation to our communities. We are all too aware of challenges we face shoring up infrastructure and managing insurance costs.
