  • Your Network, Your News
    YOUR NETWORK, YOUR NEWS NEWSLETTER THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITIES Welcome to Aurora Energy’s community update for the first half of 2021. You may have heard news of our plans for a major investment in safety and reliability of the network that brings power to your homes, farms and businesses. Our regulatory body, the Commerce Commission, has recently approved this investment, allowing Aurora Energy to spend up to $327 million on new assets and network upgrades in coming years. COMMUNITY UPDATE UPDATE COMMUNITY 2021 MAY Here’s what the Commerce Commission’s John Crawford said: “Taken together, the package of measures we have released is focused on the long-term benefits to consumers. Aurora must now deliver on its proposal. Without this investment, its network will continue to deteroriate, safety incidents will increase, and its customers will experience more frequent and longer (power) outages.” The decision means we can get on and deliver our plan, while continuing to work closely with you to ensure we show value and benefits for your area. As the work programme progresses, you can expect us to hold levels of planned power outages, required to enable work on the network, at levels similar to the past two years. As work moves to other areas, power outages may affect different customer groups, but overall, levels of outages should not increase. With the improvements, we expect unplanned outages due to faults will remain stable for the next two to three years, before gradually reducing as benefits of upgrades flow through to better network performance. So please read on to find out which projects will benefit your community, and check out our graphic on the back page to see the work we have done or completing in your area.

  • The Squatters' Club
    WELCOME TO THE HOCKEN Friends of the Hocken Collections BULLETIN NUMBER 58 : August 2008 THE SQUAttERS’ CLUB PART ONE THE BEGINNINGS The leases of pastoral land in Otago were available from the mid-1850s. Alexander Bathgate in his ‘Colonial Experiences’ (1874), wrote: ‘The class of run-holders or pastoral tenants of the Crown, comprises for the most part of men of refinement and education, and they are nick-named by the Liberal party the “squattocracy” (sic), from the word squatter, which is also a name frequently applied to them. They hold depasturing lands over large tracts of country, averaging about 50,000 acres...’ On 31st August 1856 a ‘Squatters’ Association’ was formed ‘for the Advance of Runholding interests’ — but it was short-lived and no records appear to be extant. It was, however, the precursor of the Squatters’ Club — more formally known as the Otago Club or the Dunedin Club. In a letter of 18th June 1859, James Murison, a Maniototo run-holder noted: ‘We have got an Otago Club now. It 1861 — From Rattray St, looking across towards High St. In the right foreground is the house soon to be occupied by Dr Hocken. To its left is a rear view of the ‘Squatters’ Club’ with washing on the line. Gold has been discovered at Tuapeka, and many small tents of new arrivals in Dunedin are pitched on the hill beyond. has only been started for a year. We have now upwards of 80 members, mostly squatters. It is a great improvement on the hotel system, where you have to rough it in the old room with Tom, Dick and Harry, and have old Gallie, the dirty blacksmith, pop down on the next chair to you and ask what you’ll take...’ A LIVELY LOCALITY W.

The Clutha/Matau-au river system and the associated Lakes form an integral part of the Central Otago landscape. They are an important recreation source for both the local community and visitors to the area. This plan contains a summary of the responsibilities and activities of the various stake holders associated with the water way. It identifies the areas most frequented by the users and the facilities available to them now and those that may be required in the future.
