The draft will be going out for public consultation for a month in mid July. We will be hosting a Community Drop In on Saturday 1st August 1-3pm at the Clevedon District Centre for those who’d like to chat with Council representatives and share support or feedback. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for more information. ******************************* Back to the future AKA Level1! Hope that you are fit and well now we are back to some sort of normal – hardly seemed possible three months ago that we would have added lockdowns and PPE and Alert Levels and Pre-covid to our everyday language! It was wonderful to be able to walk on our roads and hear more birds, but it seems we are already back to bemoaning the traffic (not to mention all those cones and roadworks). It would certainly be great to have some safe cycling and walking paths and I do hear conversations about how our urban areas need to be less car-centric. The Watercare and 52 North Road projects re-started in April to remind us of the changes coming to Clevedon Village………Our Changing Village As you probably know, all those roadworks are for the wastewater and water for the Village and are just the start of major changes to the Village. The trick is going to be to keep our “Village Feel”, which everyone values, in the face of hundreds of new sections, both residential and commercial, in a relatively short space of time. The Clevedon Community and Business Association is working with professional designers on a “Look Book” which hopefully will guide prospective section owners in this respect. Clevedon Cares will continue to focus on the environmental impacts on the village and valley and get involved in Resource Consent applications where possible. We encourage everyone to take notice of what is planned and happening, especially the information from Watercare with respect to the wastewater and water connections. ********** Watercare Pre-Covid were working with Watercare and the CCBA to try to ensure that all existing properties will be able to connect to the new wastewater and water system, as it seemed that there were some which had not been included. We are hopeful that this will be resolved so that those landowners will have the opportunity to have the same system as all the other village sites and not be faced with potentially very high costs to connect in the future. After all, the purpose of the Clevedon Plan was originally to fix the village wastewater! ************ Annual General Meeting AGM time - Monday July 13th 7.30pm McNicol Homestead. ************* We are committed to preserving Clevedon and the environs as a unique rural settlement, not in a time warp, but by sympathetically blending the old and new.

Bulk earthworks were completed before the [Covid] shutdown, council officers worked through from home and we used the time to gain the various engineering approvals and virtual site meetings needed to commence the civil works. Over the next month we will be mostly concentrating on stormwater and other drainage and laying metal base for the roads. Reserve planting was programmed to commence in May but this will be delayed until we get some moisture in the soil.

It seems a bit more planning and communication would have made this pill, a little easier to swallow. Watercare advises however that time line to completion: finish in the village this week (at time of writing). The focus then shifts to pub to firestation then firestation to school. From z station to monument is in this timeframe too. All completed by end of june. The last bit, the north/kawakawa Rd/roundabout is scheduled for July. The traffic plan for the last bit is with Auckland Transport, and we suspect scheduled to tie in with the school holidays. We are very sorry to inform you of the decision by Hinge & Co not to reopen. Below is the message we received: We shall miss them quite a lot too. All may seem to get back to some normality but some businesses will have a hard time surfacing. In Clevedon some have also suffered further with the closure of the central area by Watercare. Let’s support them as much as we can.
