Community Board Meeting 7pm, Tuesday 6th June, 2017 at the Omokoroa Community Church Hall, Hamurana Rd. Omokoroa Omelette 1 May 2017 Letters to the Editor... I’m one of the many walkers on the point and as such, enjoy the designated walkways around the community. At the moment, there is construction everywhere and partial footpath closures and the side of the road heading out to the main road is not able to be walked. The one walk that is relatively free from builders is the walkway on the estuary behind the golf course. Both ends of the beach behind the course have a walkway sign and until recently I assumed wrongly that there must be a Metre or 2 allowed for walkers just above the high tide mark. The golf course has 4 storm water drains coming out onto the estuary, 1 is piped, but the others are impassable without getting wet feet after rain or at high tide. Trees verge the golf course and foliage juts out a couple of metres into the estuary making them also impassable without getting wet shoes. There are always a lot of foot prints along this stretch of beach so there are many people who enjoy this walk. A solution to the problem could be the golf club pipe the drains, remove the trees and put up some sort of sea wall for erosion, or do we have to avoid the area at high tide? Apparently, I have missed a prior letter from the golf course who put their point across. Duck feet Letter to the Mayor, WBOPD Dear Sir, On March 25, a considerable number of people from Te Puna to Katikati witnessed a spectacular firework display. Fortunately for those further away from the source, the accompanying noise level was minor. But not so for those of us living near the golf course at Omokoroa where, speaking from personal experience, the noise of the fireworks detonating caused windows to shake and animals, although safely indoors, to be traumatised. Obviously, as the event was apparently compliant with Council and Fire Department requirements the property owners are not at fault; they were doing what they were entitled to do. They did, very courteously, circulate a notice warning of the impending display and also turned down, or off, the music late in the evening. Both gestures were appreciated but there was no suggestion that this was to be a professional display with a big noise threshold, and the music was at a seemingly unnecessary very high volume. This is now history, but I am advised that the property concerned is now a lodge and a similar event could be held up to 6 times a year, should the owners wish, without resource consent. The prospect of this caused me to investigate the situation with Council within which I was transferred to numerous people and departments. Two comments stand out; the first was ‘that Omokoroa is a rural area and a permit isn’t needed’. The second was ‘well, a notice was sent out so if it happens again and you don’t like it perhaps you should vacate your property for the night’. Really? Since when did the wishes of one override the wellbeing of many, and if Omokoroa, with its current population explosion, is still designated a rural area by Council perhaps a speedy rethink of that is needed as well. Yours sincerely, Jane Burger Dear Editor, Re: your correspondent Marc Ulyatt appears to be a little naive in taking advice from environment B.O.P regarding the spread of moth plant (araujia serifera) but I do agree that this insidious and aggressive weed is a problem in the area Marc has identified. Land owners in this area struggle to maintain control of the problem. The most prolific infestations and the spread of this highly invasive weed is in fact on council owned land, and from there continues to rapidly infest other properties. Question for Marc, if he knows who is responsible for introducing this menace on the corner of Omokoroa Road and McKenna Place, why not contact the perpetrator (or descendants) for remedies. In the meantime, moth plant continues to flourish on the least maintained tracts of council owned property and will continue to do so. Because other adjacent rate paying land owners are expected to do it for them. If other peoples weed are his thing then a drive to the very end of prole road will really impress Marc. There he will be treated to the most spectacular display of noxious weed to be found anywhere. As for control and removal, Marc should not expect council to pull this weed by hand as recommended. Kevin Molloy Letters to the Editor continued on page 4 GOING, GOING, GONE! One day a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on an exotic parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher. Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid - the fine bird was finally his! As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the Auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!" "Don't worry", said the Auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?"

  • Omokoroa Community Board Report
    November 2016 Volume: 14 Issue: 09 Omokoroa Community Board Report by Murray Grainger Chairman The structure of the Omokoroa Community Board for the next triennium was ratified at the formal swearing in ceremony, held in Te Puke on 10th November. After all the newly elected Council and Community Board members were sworn in, a brief first meeting was held to appoint the Chairman and Deputy. I was elected as Chairman and Teresa Sage as Deputy along with Peter Presland and Derek Sage. We are joined by John Palmer and Margaret Murray-Benge, the Councillors appointed by the Mayor to work with us. John, of course, served on the Community Board before stepping up to Councillor level and Margaret has a wealth of experience at Councillor level. We are keen to engage with our community and it was made abundantly clear in our initial induction sessions that our new Mayor, Garry Webber, wants future plans for WBPDC to be led from the ground up, not the top down. To that end, we are exploring ways and means of making it easy for the residents and ratepayers of Omokoroa to engage and feel involved in what happens in the next three years and to steer the vision for the future of Omokoroa over the following 10 – 20 years. Although we may have a higher proportion of retirees than the national average, there are others here with commitments that make it hard for them to get along to meetings or to put in submissions etc. so we have created an online forum to assist.

  • Plummers Point This Area Covers the Entire Plummer's Point Peninsula Bounded by State Highway 2 to the South and Othena/Ise by T
    Plummers Point This area covers the entire Plummer's Point Peninsula bounded by State Highway 2 to the South and othenA/ise by Tauranga Harbour. The topography is rolling with some smaller steeper areas. The area has a total area of 377 hectares with approximately 315 hectares of this being developable. This could accommodate approximately 4,730 houses at 15 dwellings per hectare. Distance to employment centres and higher order services The area is located approximately 11km from the existing Tauranga urban boundary at Bethlehem via SH2 and 18km from the Tauranga city centre. Score: 3 out of 5. Land characteristics and local amenity Plummers Point has a ridge that runs down the middle of it in a north / south direction similar to Pahoia. The land generally slopes away from this ridge towards the east and the west to the harbour. Harbour views would be possible from much of this land and all houses would be within about 500m of the harbour. Access to direct sunlight is not an issue. An existing primary school exists in Plummers Point. The nearest secondary schools would be in Katikati or Tauranga. Very limited neighbourhood shopping facilities exist in nearby Whakamarama with slightly better facilities in Te Puna and Omokoroa with the Omokoroa retail offering likely to expand in the future to eventually include a supermarket. Score: 4 out of 5. Per lot development costs This area would require significant earthworks which are estimated at an average of $300,000 per hectare. Score: 3 out of 5. Development contributions Development contributions in this area are likely to be high due to: • The cost of connecting to the State Highway Network.
