Statement of Proposal Statement of Proposal Land Transport Bylaw 2008 Consultation 18 March – 19 April 2020 Version: Consultation 18 March - 19 April 2020 Executive Summary The Matamata-Piako District Council (Council) has identified that amendments to the Land Transport Bylaw 2008 (Bylaw) are required, the Bylaw is part of the Consolidated Bylaw and Council is proposing changes to both documents. Included in this document are: • the reasons for the proposal • changes proposed • a report on the relevant determinations by the Council under section 155 of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) • where you can find more information and copies of all proposals • how you can submit on the proposals A draft of the proposed Bylaw can be found at Council offices, libraries and website www.mpdc.govt.nz This document constitutes the Statement of Proposal for the purposes of Section 83(1)(a) of the LGA 2002. We are undertaking consultation to assess public support for the proposal to amend the Bylaw. The decision to amend the Bylaw or leave it the same will be made following receipt of community feedback. This document includes a summary of the proposed options and information on how you can have your say. Amendment scope Speed Limits We believe that there are some speed limits around our district that should be reduced to help keep our community safe. In total we have identified seven sites that we are proposing to have their speed limits reduced. In particular; • Hetana Street/Arawa Street • Banks Road • Kuranui Road/Scott Road • Te Aroha West • Buckland Road/Puketutu Road (Hobbiton) • Tahuna School Zone • Manawaru Reasons for the proposal Council staff have reviewed the areas mentioned above and believe that the current speed limits are no longer benefitting the community and pose a risk to our residents. It is important that we keep our residents safe and we are proposing that by reducing the speed limit then we hope there will be reduced numbers of near misses and fatalities. There may be other areas that require Council attention and if you feel we have missed anything please let us know, but we believe we are proposing to fix the most urgent ones, around built up areas, schools and notorious roads. 2 Changes proposed The key changes are outlined below: Bylaw Recommend Speed Limit Rationale for amendment clause Amendments Schedule Hetana and Arawa Streets in Matamata, • The area receives reasonably high 2 from Broadway until Hetana merges into foot traffic and this will help to Arawa to be reduced from 50km/hr to keep pedestrians safe. 30km/hr.

This the park for parents and children. will reduce the speed from 50km/hr to 40km/hr for 35 minutes before the start of school and 20 minutes after the end of school. Options considered by Council Council has three options to consider for the speed limit amendments. These options also provide a link to the decision-making requirements of section 77 of the LGA, including the identification of reasonably practicable options. For each option Council is required to consult with the community, either using the special consultative procedure or in accordance with section 82 of the LGA. The table below outlines Council’s options and briefly highlights the advantages and disadvantages for each option: Proposed Amendments Council has considered the following options: A. Amend the Bylaw B. Keep the Bylaw the same C.

Section 155 of the Local Government Act 2002 We are required under the LGA to resolve that bylaws are the most appropriate way of addressing particular issues. The process for review required by section 155 of the LGA consists of the following two stages: 1. Section 155(1) requires us to determine whether a bylaw is the most appropriate way of addressing the perceived problem. 2. Sections 155(2) and (3) require us to consider whether the format of the bylaw is appropriate; and whether any aspect is in conflict with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. Council has resolved that the draft Bylaw is the most appropriate form for the amendments as it is the only way Council can make speed limits legally enforceable, this does not give rise to any implications under, and is not inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. It is not a legal requirement to have a Land Transport Bylaw, however, there are a number of issues which are most appropriately addressed through a bylaw including speed limits. Council is a road controlling authority under the Land Transport Act 1998 and can make bylaws under that Act in relation to roads and parking areas under its control.

  • Charles Manuel: a Miner and Farmer in the Te Aroha District
    CHARLES MANUEL: A MINER AND FARMER IN THE TE AROHA DISTRICT Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 102 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 CHARLES MANUEL: A MINER AND FARMER IN THE TE AROHA DISTRICT Abstract: Born in Cornwall, Charles Manuel claimed to have mined from an early age. From 1876 onwards he mined at and near Thames, one notably experience being ‘gassed’ during a rescue attempt in the Caledonian mine. Although from the 1880s and until the end of his life he also farmed and took up a variety of contracts, he never abandoned mining, becoming a mine manager in 1896 and working on several Hauraki fields into the early twentieth century. To defend his interests in one mine, he threatened rivals with a revolver. His brother-in-law, William Deeble, was associated with him in various activities, notably on the Thames County Council, where they were a disruptive element. In 1900 he became a farmer in the Piako district, and in 1908 became involved in Waiorongomai mining, obtaining claims and being a director of the Bendigo and Seddon companies. A colleague in these mining ventures was John Endean, along with his wife and son. As a member of the Piako County Council he worked hard for the community, as usual, but also as usual was pugnacious and difficult to work with. In politics, also, he always spoke his mind. A hard worker in his private affairs and public issues, he was successful financially.

The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

  • Our Social Infrastructure
    Our Social Infrastructure 115 Our Social Infrastructure Social infrastructure is our schools, our hospitals and all the facilities and services that communities regard as essential to their future 116 Our Social Infrastructure 6.1 Outside Agencies Meeting Our Community’s Needs Rural communities rely on many services being provided from a central, regional or national base, in particular health, support and social services. During consultation, residents said they felt that the current support was not ideal. Yet it was recognised that most agencies are doing their best. One of the difficulties is getting local people interested and involved in the planning processes of these agencies. As a community we could improve by encouraging people and agencies to work together better on issues that affect them. Community Outcomes: • Local people will be interested and getting involved in the planning processes of external agencies • As a community we will be encouraging people and agencies to work together Indicator State Trend 6.1a Participation rates with external agencies K ?

    KEEPA TE WHARAU: A NGATI RAHIRI RANGATIRA Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 34 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 KEEPA TE WHARAU: A NGATI RAHIRI RANGATIRA Abstract: Keepa Te Wharau’s whakapapa linked him, unusually, to both Ngati Maru and Ngati Haua. Through these connections he was associated with the Te Aroha district from an early age, visiting it on several occasions and even cultivating there, briefly. When the block was before the land court he gave evidence – though his evidence in a later succession case was clearly wrong, deliberately so. Having interests in several blocks of land, he falsely claimed not to have received money for the Aroha Block, using the excuse of drunkenness, for which he was before the court on several occasions. He would sell land, as would his children, to meet living expenses. He invested in two goldfields, Thames and Te Aroha, very modestly. A leading rangatira, he was notable for his loyalty to the Crown. HIS LIFE BEFORE THE FOUNDING OF TE AROHA Keepa (sometimes Kepa) Te Wharau was born in about 1841, according to the age he gave in 1880.1 According to the ages recorded when he was buried, he was born either in 1827 or 1836.2 The latest date was the most likely, for in 1871 he described himself as having been ‘a youth’ in 1856.3 Born at Puriri, his father was Te Wharau, who was ‘partly’ Ngati Haua, with whom he had lived for ‘some time’.4 Keepa thought his father was the only member of Ngati Tumutumu ‘connected with’ Ngati Haua.

  • The Vegetation of the Te Aroha District
    THE VEGETATION OF THE TE AROHA DISTRICT Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 4 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 THE VEGETATION OF THE TE AROHA DISTRICT Abstract: Pakeha settlers universally admired the mountain’s vegetation, and several enthusiasts made botanical surveys. Both because of its intrinsic beauty and also to attract tourists, portions of the mountain were removed from the goldfield and attempts were made to preserve the original vegetation. In contrast, few admired the vegetation in the swamps, which were quickly drained for farming. As thick bush handicapped prospectors, it was burnt to expose outcrops. Miners were permitted to cut the trees on their claims for mining purposes, and settlers required timber for a multitude of purposes. Despite some attempts to control timber cutting, which in the case of kauri required a (small) payment, much valuable timber was wasted because of its abundance. Vegetation was either deliberately or carelessly set on fire, was vandalized by illegal cutting, and was damaged by cattle, deer, goats, and possums. As the bush line retreated up the mountainside, damaged or destroyed areas were replanted in exotic vegetation; in the case of the tramway, gorse (!) was planted to prevent landslips. By the late twentieth century, efforts were being made to protect and restore the original vegetation. ADMIRED On Christmas Day, 1872, Albert James Allom, a leading official on the Thames goldfield,1 and Alexander Fox, a Thames doctor,2 climbed part way up Te Aroha mountain.

  • THOMAS Mcindoe: a TE AROHA SADDLER WHO BECAME an AUCKLAND BUSINESSMAN Philip Hart
    THOMAS McINDOE: A TE AROHA SADDLER WHO BECAME AN AUCKLAND BUSINESSMAN Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 145 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 THOMAS McINDOE: A TE AROHA SADDLER WHO BECAME AN AUCKLAND BUSINESSMAN Abstract: Starting out as a saddler at Te Aroha in 1891, Thomas McIndoe also became an agent, especially a successful land agent, acquiring some land holdings for himself. After leaving Te Aroha in 1911 he was a businessman in Auckland for the rest of his life. During the mining boom of the 1890s, he invested in many local mines, probably without making much if any money from his share dealings. McIndoe participated in almost every aspect of Te Aroha life, including the Anglican Church, a variety of sports, the Volunteers, the freemasons, and (especially) musical events. Involved in just about every local organization and local government body, he was the first president of the Chamber of Commerce and, briefly, on the borough council. Politically, he was a prominent supporter of the Liberal Party. In addition, he was notable for his charitable acts and for one heroic rescue. His personality was generally amiable, but he had a prickly side as well. He was a notable example of a ‘pillar of the local community’. SADDLER AT TE AROHA Thomas McIndoe was born in Glasgow in July 1865 to William, a dairyman, and Elizabeth, née Sharpe.1 After coming to New Zealand with his parents when aged five, he was educated at Prince Albert College in Auckland.2 In 1891, he took over a Te Aroha saddlery and harness-making business,3 established in the early 1880s by David Brigham.4 This saddlery and its adjacent house were on the corner opposite the Hot Springs Hotel.5 1 Birth Certificate of Thomas McIndoe, 26 July 1865, ancestry.co.uk; Marriage Certificate of Thomas McIndoe, 27 January 1890, 1890/271, BDM.
