You will be asked to give your views and there is some new technology being introduced to make it easier for you to let us know what is important to you, as we outline the direction for our communities in the early years of the new decade. We will keep you advised on that via the Franklin Local Board Facebook page and on Auckland Council’s OurAuckland website. We are keen to hear though from Clevedon residents about a targeted rate to enable them to connect to the new reticulated water system Watercare is installing through Clevedon to support growth. We are asking for the rate, which would allow residents to repay a loan through their rates, to be included in consultation on Auckland Council’s annual budget. Auckland Council wants as many people as possible to connect to the system, but it could cost as much as $50,000. We believe repaying loans as part of your rates would make that cost more bearable, and certainly understand not everyone has $50,000 sitting around. Quite a few residents have asked about a payment plan to spread connection costs and Watercare has asked for a loan repayment targeted rate to be included in annual budget consultations. In other news the Clevedon Business and Residents Association is hosting the business community at a meeting at Hallertau at 6pm on 17 February to discuss opportunities presented by the Hunua Trail, a new 44-kilometre walking and cycling trail that will link Clevedon to Kaiaua. The trail will be walkable over three days using huts as overnight accommodation, while cyclists could cover it in a day, and the board believes it could offer economic opportunities to the area because visitors will need food, accommodation and supplies. The wider community will get a chance to have input when the board hosts a community event at the Clevedon District Centre on 14 March from 11am to 2pm. While the holidays might be a fading memory, summer lingers on and there are still free events local boards support that you can take advantage of. One of those is free kayaking at Maraetai for those aged seven and up. Council’s Out and About team will be there on February 15 and 29 from 10am to 2pm with enough kayaks to ensure everyone gets the chance to take to the water. The team will be set up near the playground at the boat club end of the beach and there’s no need to book, with six half-hour sessions running from 10am. If watching a movie under the stars appeals more, the board is also part of Movies in Parks, which is screening Men in Black: International at Te Puru on 4 April at 7.30pm, with pre-film entertainment from 5.30pm. If you see something that needs repairing, removing or reporting please phone 09 301 0101 or log it at www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz. Angela Fulljames | Franklin Local Board deputy chair 021 923 278 | DD: 09 237 1311 Ed386 – Clevedon Roundup – October 2018 4 Ed 396 – Clevedon Roundup – February 2020 Editorial written & supplied by: Clevedon Community & Business Association Hi everyone, As you can see in this Round Up, the new Hunua Trail is coming and with it, all the exciting opportunities for businesses, existing and new, in our area. This new walking and cycling trail between Clevedon and Kaiaua will attract many visitors, and all these visitors will need support services – food, bike maintenance and repairs, transfers to parts of the route or back to where they started, accommodation, etc., - and it’s entirely possible they will want to stay on and see other attractions in the area. Auckland Council have asked the Clevedon CBA to organise some events to introduce the Hunua Trail to the Clevedon community and businesses. We will hold two events; Monday 17th February 6pm at Hallertau, 26 Clevedon Kawakawa Rd with a focus on identifying local economic opportunities, and Saturday 14th March 11 – 2pm at the Clevedon District Centre to inform the wider community on what and where is the Hunua Trail. We would love you to come and join us, and hopefully be as excited as we are about this opportunity for the businesses of our area, and this chance to show off the Hunua Ranges. If you can join us for either event, please RSVP to [email protected] Victoria Richards, Chair, Clevedon CBA P.S. Last minute judging at Christmas time saw Clevedon Flowers win the meal voucher & trophy for the most festive street front display, with Puchi coming a very close second. Thank you to all who participated so festively. ************************************************************************ CLEVEDON PLUNKET GROUP Happy New Year!
