Decision Report
Decision Report To: Mayor and Councillors From: Regulatory Services Manager th Date: 11 September 2018 File Reference: M2438155 Portfolio Holder: Cnr Paul Milner th Meeting date: 26 September 2018 Annual report to the Alcohol Regulatory and Subject: Licensing Authority – Period ending 30th June 2018 Recommendation: THAT the report be received, and THAT the annual Hauraki District Licensing Committee report for period ending 30 June 2018 be submitted to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority, Wellington. Purpose Section 199 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 requires a report to be submitted prior to the 30th September 2018 from the District Licensing Committee (DLC) to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA) covering the period ending 30th June 2018. Overview of DLC Workload Membership of the Hauraki District Council District Licensing Committee has remained the same. The following serving members continued:- Councillor Paul Milner, the Chairperson, Councillor Gill Leonard who is the Deputy Chairperson, Councillor Carol Daley and the three independent persons Mary Carmine, Denis Taylor and John Goodman. There were no hearings for the Committee to preside over. However, the DLC Chairperson was kept busy reviewing and approving uncontested license applications throughout the period. One application was referred to the Authority, being the Waitakaruru Store Off Licence application. This was returned for Hauraki DLC to determine and given the time delay, it was forwarded to the client for advice as to how they wished to proceed, and the application has not been re-submitted. Local Alcohol Policy Council’s Local Alcohol Policy is now in full effect. The biggest change is that people can no longer buy off-licence alcohol after 9pm. -

Built 1897-98 Victoria Battery Site, Waikino Management
Built 1897-98 Victoria Battery Site, Waikino Map and photograph courtesy Moore and Ritchie Coromandel Gold, 1996, p.161. Built 1897-98 Victoria Battery Site, Waikino Management: Hauraki Area Office, Waikato Conservancy, Department of Conservation VAMS site number 302104 Fabric: The site of the Victoria Battery occupies an extensive flat within a big bend of the Ohinemuri River opposite Waikino village. Most structures were removed or demolished after the battery ceased operations in 1952 but substantial concrete and masonry walls and footings remain on the site. Most significant are the clustered bases of the cyanide tank complex, the huge in-ground ore roasting kilns and their access tunnels, and the transformer house - a large concrete building now used as the site-museum. On adjacent private land there is a high embankment that once supported the incline tramway up which the ore trucks were winched to the roasting kilns. History: After the Waihi Goldmining Company acquired the Martha mine at Waihi in 1891, new reefs were discovered so regularly that it almost seemed as though there was no end to the payable ore. The company’s two plants in Waihi could not cope and it was decided to build a massive new battery complex at Waikino. Construction started in 1897 and ore crushing began the following year. During its 54 years of operation the plant was continually modified and improved until it closed in 1952. (Waikato Register, p.61). The ore from the mine was conveyed to the battery by an 8km tramway known as ‘the rakeline’. Fabric Significance: Despite the removal of most of the plant and buildings, the remaining original fabric on the expansive battery site, in conjunction with innovative interpretation, has tremendous potential to tell the story behind one of New Zealand’s greatest goldmining operations and a company which, in its day, was a household name. -
