  • 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.

  • Our Drinking Water the Safety of Kawerau’S Drinking Water Is a Top Priority for Council
    OUR DRINKING WATER THE SAFETY OF KAWERAU’S DRINKING WATER IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR COUNCIL GOVERNMENT INQUIRY INTO DRINKING WATER Following the 2016 Havelock North water contamination which made more than 5000 people ill and caused numerous businesses to close for days, a government inquiry was held. The Stage Two Report from the Inquiry has recommended significant changes to New Zealand’s drinking water standards and the treatment of drinking water nationally. RESIDUAL TWO OF THE KEY TREATMENT DISINFECTION RECOMMENDATIONS of all drinking of drinking water OF THE REPORT water supplies i.e. treatment with chlorine WHAT IT MEANS FOR KAWERAU Council has made the decision that the only way to ensure the safety of our drinking water is to begin chlorination. From 1 July 2018, chlorine will be added to the water supply. WHY DO WE NEED TO START USING CHLORINE? Treating water with chlorine is backed up by science and more than a century of use around the world as a safe and effective water disinfectant. • Chlorine is recognised world-wide as the most effective way to kill bacteria, such as campylobacter, in drinking water supplies. • UV treatment does effectively clean water but only at the point of treatment. • Chlorine stays in the water so that if bugs get in at some point in the pipe network, e.g. through a mains break or contamination from a back flow, the chlorine will kill them. For more information visit kaweraudc.govt.nz or call 07 306 9009 SOME USEFUL FACTS ON CHLORINE DOES CHLORINE AFFECT THE TASTE WHY IS CHLORINE NEEDED AS WELL AND SMELL OF DRINKING WATER?

  • Roadside Gorse and Broom
    Roadside Gorse and Broom Did you know? As a landowner you are responsible for controlling boundary and scattered gorse and broom on your property – including roadsides in many cases. There are different rules for gorse and broom roadside control depending on which territorial authority area the roadside is in. The rules on responsibility are set out below: Adjoining Road controlling Territorial authority area land occupier authority responsibility responsibility Hurunui District Council No responsibility Full responsibility Christchurch City Council - City wards No responsibility Full responsibility - Banks Peninsula wards Full responsibility No responsibility Waitaki District Council No responsibility Full responsibility Timaru District Council No responsibility Full responsibility Waimakariri District Council Full responsibility No responsibility Kaikōura District Council Full responsibility No responsibility Mackenzie District Council Full responsibility No responsibility Selwyn District Council Full responsibility No responsibility Waimate District Council Full responsibility No responsibility Ashburton District Council Full responsibility No responsibility State Highways No responsibility Full responsibility Three things to ensure: 1. All your boundaries are cleared at least 10m from your neighbour’s property (where their land is clear or being cleared of gorse and broom). NOTE: For roadsides the boundary is considered the centre line of the road. Where territorial authorities are responsible, they will control weeds within 10m of the centre of the road. 2. All scattered plants and isolated patches less that 50m2 on your property are controlled. E19/7618 3. Gorse and broom hedges are trimmed annually after flowering, but before seed set.

Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) 2. The CDHB is responsible for promoting the reduction of adverse environmental effects on the health of people and communities and to improve, promote and protect their health pursuant to the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and the Health Act 1956. 3. These statutory obligations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and, in the Canterbury District, are carried out under contract by Community and Public Health under Crown funding agreements on behalf of the Canterbury District Health Board. General comments 4. Health and wellbeing (overall quality of life) is influenced by a wide range of factors beyond the health sector. These influences can be described as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and are impacted by environmental, social and behavioural factors. They are often referred to as the ‘social determinants of health1. Barton and Grant’s Health Map2 shows how various influences on health are complex and interlinked.
