Registration No. CC46103 advocates working on associated campaigns. Your President’s Report The Society has been in Environment Court mediation with Auckland Council and other parties on Plan Change 35 (Oratia village), 36 (Non-Residential activities in the ranges) and 37 (Titirangi village). These are progressing well and I will report further in the next newsletter. I attended a workshop organised by the Environmental Defence Society which included the Auckland Council and the Property Council of New Zealand to discuss the Property Council’s application to the Environment Court for declarations concerning tree protection rules in the Auckland Council district plan. All these matters are sub judice and therefore I cannot discuss them further at this stage. The Society welcomes the decision by Auckland Council to close 27 kilometres of walking tracks in the ranges for a year (in the first instance) in order to protect areas where there is no sign of kauri dieback disease. Thanks to members and friends who attended our AGM On other tracks, boot cleaning stations with Trigene in March. The Annual and Financial reports are printed disinfectant spray and scrubbing brushes are available to in this newsletter. The newly elected committee all trampers and we hope that all people using the tracks members have a wide range of expertise and we look will comply with this simple procedure.

  • Public Transport for the Waitakere Ranges Residents' Survey
    Public Transport for the Waitakere Ranges Residents’ Survey - Summary Report Prepared by Buzz Channel and Auckland Transport September 2017 Waitākere Ranges Public Transport Survey – Summary Report Page 1 of 69 Executive summary Auckland Transport and the Waitakere Ranges Local Board have been investigating what Public Transport services may be needed in the Waitakere Ranges area. In March/April 2016, Auckland Transport held a survey for residents of the following areas: French Bay, Henderson Valley, Huia, KareKare, Konini (Kaurilands Rd, Daffodil St, Konini Rd), Laingholm, Oratia, Parau, Paturoa Bay, Piha, South Titirangi, Te Henga (Bethells Beach), Waiatarua, Wood Bay and Woodlands Park. These areas were targeted because they either have no current public transport service, have limited service, or were having services removed when the new West Auckland bus network was implemented in June 2017. Participation In total 839 feedback forms were received. The areas with the highest participation were Huia/Cornwallis/Parau with 116 residents from this area responding, followed by Wood Bay/French Bay/Paturoa Bay/South Titirangi with 108 respondents, and thirdly Piha with 101 respondents. Initial findings In order to determine if there is sufficient demand for any new services, data was grouped by potential routes; i.e. feedback from people who lived in the same area and whose chosen destinations could be accommodated by the same route, was analysed together. In most cases the numbers of people who said they would use each of these potential routes, and how often they said they would use them, was not sufficient to operate a viable bus service. However, two possible scheduled services were identified which could be viable and would warrant further investigation.

    Titirangi West including Oratia, Green Bay, Wood Bay, French Bay, Konini, Waiatarua, Parau, Kaurilands, Huia, Cornwallis and Laingholm he wooded suburb of Titirangi is inextricably linked with certain enduring images: Ttree-huggers, potters in home-spun jumpers, old Rovers in British-racing green with Greenpeace stickers, disappearing up bush-lined driveways. Trees are to Titirangi as coffee is to Ponsonby. Mention the place and most people think “bush”, and the 1970s vintage timber houses tucked out of sight, and often out of sun, amongst the trees. Many of Titirangi’s homes sit high above the Manukau Harbour with glorious sea views and distant city vistas. The suburb’s little village emphasises the feeling that you’re far from the madding crowd. Just five minutes up the road Oratia, with its big flat sections and views back towards the city, is one of the best-kept secrets of these parts. :DLWDNHUH Population Profile 6ZDQVRQ 5DQXL (GPRQWRQ Population 25,071 % Aged Under 15 Years 22.23 % Aged Over 65 Years 10.23 3DOP+HLJKWV *OHQGHQH % European 77.33 .HOVWRQ % Maori 7.24 % Pacific Peoples 4.45 2UDWLD 2UDWLD % Asian 5.48 .DXULODQGV *OHQ(GHQ6RXWK :DLDWDUXD *UHHQ%D\ Who Lives There? 7LWLUDQJL :RRG%D\ Traditionally, Titirangi has appealed to 0DFNLHV5HVW 0DFNLHV5HVW )UHQFK%D\ the artistically inclined and to bush-lovers.

Under the settlement, Ngati Whatua o Kaipara, which represents the Rewiti, Haranui, Araparera, Kakanui and Puatahi marae, will have ownership of the 12,500ha Woodhill Forest - worth almost $15 million - transferred to it, along with the land under Kaipara College and Kaukapakapa, Parakai, Woodhill and Waimauku primary schools. The school land will be leased back to the Government for around $240,000 per year. Ngati Whatua o Kaipara will also receive a cash settlement from the Crown of $750,000 and transfer of several other properties. The other major thrust of the settlement is the renaming of a number of local place names.

The settlement also includes an apology from the Government on an agreed historical account and grievances.
