‘Freedom villagers’ arrive

By Viv Posselt

Waipā District Mayor Jim Mylchreest has praised the decision of the Freedom Group to build one of its lifestyle villages in his district and said he would like to see something akin to the new Cambridge Oaks development

replicated in Te Awamutu.

Mr Mylchreest was speaking at the opening of Cambridge Oaks. He joined Freedom Group managing director Rudy Van Het Wout, village manager Frieda Murray, other guests and village residents at a gathering in the recently completed

Village Centre.

“This is a fantastic addition to Cambridge,” he said. “When it started, this was a new model for local government in rural New Zealand. I’m really enthusiastic about this style of development and am hopeful that maybe in Te

Awamutu there may be a site suitable for something similar. It is great to see this occurring in our district.”

Freedom Lifestyle Villages was established in 2012 to offer those in the 50-plus age group a model that presented an alternative to traditional retirement/lifestyle villages. Cambridge Oaks’ housing options range from deluxe three-bedroomed homes to onebedroomed terraced apartments.

Mr Mylchreest said when trying to cater for people’s needs, local government had to look at higher density housing options that also provided a range of facilities for residents.

Rudy Van Het Wout said the appeal of Cambridge, its history and sense of community, served to inform the decision to bring the village concept here. He acknowledged the difficulties that had arisen in 2020 due to Covid-19, and congratulated Cambridge Oaks management for the support they had given residents during lockdown.

Mr Mylchreest and Mr Van Het Wout performed the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the village’s first resident, Elfreda Goodwin, cut the cake.

The new name for the Village Centre was announced

by Rene Verhoeven – The Lodge. It had been selected from submissions received from village residents.

A concert coming to the Resthaven Village Centre on Sunday will feature popular international songstress Lisa Lorrell, a musical theatre and cabaret artist who has performed in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand over the past 20 years.

The event is the third in a series of fundraisers for Cambridge Resthaven.

Born in the UK and now based in Auckland, Lisa Lorrell has played numerous lead roles in well-known musicals in London’s West End. She was the 1995 winner of the vocalist section of England’s prestigious ‘Stairway to the Stars’ national showcase and was opening guest artist on the national Tom Jones tribute tour in 2006.

Her versatile performances see her sing a wide variety of music, from light opera to musical theatre, cabaret and swing jazz, to country rock and pop. She has extended her usual schedule of ‘Elevenses’ concerts to provide the afternoon’s entertainment at Resthaven.

LesleyAnn Thomas, chair of the Resthaven Foundation, said being able to host events like this again, post-lockdown, was exciting. “It

It’s almost Halloween and I have seen preparations underway around town for this increasingly popular celebration.

There are a few organised activities going on for Halloween on Saturday, including a Halloween Craft session at the Cambridge library and the annual Light Party at the Raleigh Street Christian Centre.

If you decide to go trick or treating however, ensure that an adult or responsible teenager is supervising your children at all times.

Please be sensible and limit door knocking to those houses who have indicated through decorations or maybe a sign, that they are ready for Halloween.

It is important to remember that not everyone is comfortable with trick or treating. For the elderly especially, trick or treating can be an unsettling and sometimes confusing practice. If anyone tries to give your child money instead of lollies, please do not accept it.

If you don’t wish to be disturbed by ghouls, witches and fairies on Saturday evening, Neighbourhood Support New Zealand have developed a sign for people to put on their door or gate to politely indicate that you don’t welcome trick or treaters. Contact info@safercambridge.co.nz to get a copy.

On another topic, if you follow Facebook, you may have seen the recent Waikato Police post about calling 111 not 105 when urgent Police attention is required.

It is a message we are communicating on a regular basis as we are still hearing from residents who have called 105 wanting an urgent response and became disappointed and frustrated when they heard an automated menu including an option to report crime online. 105 is designed for offending where the culprit is long gone, neither person nor property is at immediate risk of harm or in situations where you are providing additional information about an existing investigation/file.

If you see or hear a family harm incident happening, if a party is out of control, if boy racers are tearing up the road near your house, if you see a vehicle repeatedly crossing the centre line into oncoming traffic, if an intoxicated person has just left an address driving, if you see suspicious people climbing into an address…or anything similar, call 111 immediately. Don’t wait and hope someone else will call instead.

Lastly, the Labour Weekend road toll was yet another sad reminder of the need to always remain vigilant on the roads.

We recently stopped a motorist for using a mobile phone while driving. Would you believe that she not only admitted to using it, but confessed to having been on a Zoom video call? Wow. With people making this type of decision travelling on our roads, it is vital that we are all fully aware of our surroundings when we are behind the wheel. Ensure your vehicle is up to Warrant of Fitness standard, you drive to the conditions and within speed limits.

If you are on longer journeys, take regular rest breaks, be patient and whenever driving, make sure you do not get distracted (this includes cell phones, dropped food or putting on makeup!).

Have a safe and happy Halloween weekend.

Fly tippers left down in the dumps

Digital media is proving an effective tool in catching people who prefer to leave their trash on the side of the road.

The Waipā District Council announced this week five people who dumped their rubbish on roadsides and behind a shop had each been fined $400.

In three cases it was frustrated members of the public who helped nab them – and in the other two, the offenders effectively dobbed themselves in because their trash included their details.

At $400 per infringement, the illegal dumping fines go some way towards recovering the costs to investigate and clean-up after illegal dumping.

But council enforcement team leader Ken Danby says it’s not enough.

“It costs ratepayers to clear it and makes our district look terrible,” he said.

“Members of the public get very angry with this type of offending. We’re very grateful that they take enough pride in our district to help us find the culprits.”

An infringement fine for littering is $400 and the maximum the council can impose – but a court can issue $5000 fines for individuals and $20,000 for a body corporate.

The fines come off the back of information provided by the public on cases of illegal dumping, Mr Danby said.

One offender was filmed tipping rubbish out of his trailer onto the side of the road on O’Regan Road in Ōhaupō.

Mr Danby said that was a common illegal dumping area.

“A video was passed onto our team, which is a reminder to everyone that most people have cameras on their phones and won’t hesitate to provide footage of this nature to us.”

In Pirongia, residents took photographs after seeing rubbish being thrown out of a car window. In Wharepapa South, about 20 minutes from Te Awamutu, a dumper was captured on security cameras dropping off seven boxes of gib sheet off-cuts at 4.30am.

Two other offenders dumped rubbish on Peake Road in Cambridge and behind shops on George Street in Te Awamutu.

“In both cases, we were able to trace back documentation to the offenders, which is a great result,” Danby said.

If you spot illegal dumping you can call 0800 24 723 or email info@waipadc.

Community garden launched This job’s just the ticket…

A pop-up vegetable garden is being planted at Thompson Street Playground in Cambridge – and the community is invited to get involved.

The Pop Up Edible Garden Project provides residents with free, edible produce. Flowers for attracting pollinating bees will also be planted.

Cambridge Community Board member Elise Badger is the driving force behind the project, which aims to build community interaction and resilience.

“Our town will benefit from access to fresh vegetables as we recover from the economic impacts of Covid-19 and head towards the festive season,” she says.

Volunteers nicknamed ‘Garden Guardians’ will keep an eye on the gardens, with residents invited to take care of the growing plants and enjoy the harvest.

“We only ask that once the produce is ready for eating, people take only what they need – and leave the rest for their neighbours.”

She said community gardens can improve wellbeing, grow skills and build neighbourhood connections.

“Community gardens are also a wonderful chance to come together with your neighbours to share gardening knowledge.”

(and a little bit more)

It’s the job everyone wants done – but only to other people.

And Waipā District Council is on the hunt for someone prepared to take it on.

The council is increasing its parking warden team from two to three and has started advertising.

“Time limits are designed to allow all drivers fair and equal access to high demand spaces overstaying prevents this from happening.

“An extra enforcement officer will ensure these spaces are properly monitored with drivers adhering to allocated time limits.”

Tutty said the responsibilities of the two full-time enforcement officers went beyond parking enforcement.

“Our current team is at maximum capacity at the moment. They deal with all sorts of issues such as rubbish dumping and addressing and monitoring resource consent conditions, so we are unable to increase monitoring on parking at present. An extra person will allow us to focus more on addressing this particular painpoint for our residents.

Speed limit review

A series of public meeting will guide Waka Kotahi as it reviews speed limits around west Waikato and King Country.

Waka Kotahi - the NZ Transport Agency - is reviewing speeds on state highways between Whatawhata and Otorohanga, Kawhia and SH31/39 near Pirongia and Raglan and Hamilton.

Meetings have been held in Pirongia and Otorohanga this week, further gatherings will be Kawhia next Tuesday, Whatawhata on November 10 and Raglan on November 11.

The state highway reviews follow on from a wide-ranging review carried out by district councils.

The Waikato and Waipa District Councils have either lowered, or are in the process of lowering, speed limits on roads connected to those state highways. In the case of Waipā that

involved more than 200 changes.

Otorohanga District Council has commenced a similar process via community discussions.

Waka Kotahi Director of Regional Relationships Steve Mutton says he has had many requests and petitions from communities who live on or near State Highways 23, 31 and 39 in west Waikato.

“We have received petitions asking for lower speeds through settlements such as Te Uku and Whatawhata, and many residents have expressed their concerns to us about the speed limits being too high to feel safe,” he said.

“Between 2009 and 2018 there were 17 fatalities and 104 people seriously injured as a result of crashes on the highways under consideration in this speed review. Our priority is to make these highways safer as soon as

Speed limits will be reviewed at Pirongia.

possible so that everyone living on and using them can get where they are going safely.”

Regardless of the cause of a crash, speed is most likely to determine whether someone is killed, injured, or walks away unharmed.

“Engaging with the community on the current speeds helps us get feedback and local knowledge on how the road is used and what concerns people may have. This feedback helps us determine if a speed limit change will improve safety,” Mr Mutton says.

The public sessions will provide opportunities for people to talk to Waka Kotahi staff about safe speeds and the review process and share their ideas. People can give also feedback online and find out more information on the speed reviews by visiting: www.nzta.govt.nz/west-waikato-speedreview

Diwali Day call

The popular Diwali festival observed by Hindus around the world has come to New Zealand in 2020 with calls for it to become a public holiday in two year’s time.

It’s been suggested it is “unfair” for Hindus in New Zealand not to have a day off.

In a statement released in the United States, Hindu statesman Rajan Zed said New Zealand’s Hindu community had to be at work or school on their most popular festival while there were public holidays on other religious days.

The annual Diwali festival started this week and runs to Diwali Day, November 14. Celebrations will be taking place at more than 30 community venues, region wide Among those events will be a food and culture festival at Hamilton Gardens hosted by the Waikato Tamil Society on November 8.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, suggested the New Zealand government revisit its public holiday policies as the country’s demographics had changed, making it a multicultural society, and Hindu populations were continuing to grow.

New Zealand has 10 public holidays in 2022; including Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day. Statistics New Zealand says 121,644 people reported Hinduism as their religion at the last census in 2018.

The compared with 1.3 million who regard themselves as Christian, 57,276 who identify with Islam and 40,908 who listed Sikhism. More than two million said they had no religion.

The huge majority of Hindus live in India.

In May there were calls for a public holiday for New Zealanders to be encouraged to explore their own country and support domestic tourism.

Lions protect their habitat

By Viv Posselt

Within hours of putting security cameras in at the Cambridge Lions Shed in Vogel St, another bunch of thieves was nabbed.

Job done, and the message to all those with nefarious intentions is clear, says Lions Shed director Dave Philip: “That message is ‘stay away’.”

The security cameras were installed at the shed about a month ago. Just hours later, they filmed a theft underway – the case is still under police investigation.

Dave said the cameras were donated after a rash of thefts at the shed had shaved thousands off the amount the Lions could return to the community. At least three thefts were reported in the first half of the year, with stolen items including around $3000 worth of tools, a $2500 caged trailer and an AED defibrillator worth close on $4000.

The thefts have made even more challenging a year already compromised by Covid-19 restrictions.

Lions member Barry Denton said when his wife Christine posted news of one of the more recent robberies on Facebook, the community responded in kind by offering help. Business donations from Watchu Security, Wackrow’s Joinery, John Stares of SPL-NZ, and Southwood Shelving and Racking have helped bump up security at the shed. The cameras were installed at

no charge, and Lions paid to have security lights put in place. Alarms that were part of those business donations are also being installed, and chains guarding the gate are now unbreakable.

“The yard is completely covered by security now … we’re lit up like daylight,” said Dave. “We’re very grateful to all those who have donated help and to the community for its continued support. We want to make the public aware of what we are doing to secure the shed. The message to thieves is clear – stay away from here.”

Last year, the Lions Shed donated around $180,000 to the Cambridge community.

OBITUARY – JOHN DAVID HARGREAVES – 30.05.1938-04.10.2020

The Last Post – this time, for John

By Viv Posselt

When John Hargreaves was laid to rest last month, he took with him a sizeable slice of Cambridge history and 73 years of unmatched memories linked to the town’s brass band.

John was nine when he joined the band in 1947, following in the steps of his father and brother.

Aged just 14 in 1952, he played at a special remembrance event in Hamilton marking the death of Britain’s George VI, and it was through the band that he met Jean. The bubbly teenager quickly caught John’s eye; she was the first girl in New Zealand to play in a brass band, but it was her spirited handling of his horse Nancy that really sealed the deal and led to their marriage in February 1962.

John’s farewell service was held at the Raleigh Street Christian Centre on October 17. After memories were shared by those recalling his affinity with trees, music, family and John Deere tractors, Cambridge Brass Band’s current musical director Rob Hocking played The Last Post and Reveille.

John had played those pieces at countless funerals and special events in Cambridge, before handing that baton on to Rob a few years ago. Rob said John had played The Last Post for the final time at his farm gate on Anzac Day

during lockdown this year.

John was born on the family farm at the end of Cambridge’s Forest Rd, the second son of four children. Until the last few days of his life, he lived in the same spot with Jean, raising their family among the trees and tractors that were the heart of the man. His son Richard Hargreaves said all the children were taught the value of hard work. He recalled clearing drains for pocket money, with John’s words ringing in his ears: “Now aren’t you glad you’re earning money here with me rather than playing rugby?”

His eldest nephew Greg Hargreaves said John’s character, his values and tenacity, his common sense and work ethic, were forged by the tough Depression and WW2 era into which he arrived. He recalled the painstaking effort John put into raising a tree from a solitary orange pip, carefully tending it then planting it against the shed, against the vocal misgivings of many who said it would never fruit. “Well, the tree started fruiting and hasn’t stopped,” Greg said. “and it’s still there up against the shed.”

The same persistence saw John grow and distribute countless trees from seedlings collected on picnics or propagated on the farm, a passion matched only by that he directed towards tractors, notably

John Hargreaves – bandsman, farmer and tractor collector – was happiest when pottering around on his Cambridge farm.

John Deere tractors. He bought his first tractor in 1964 when he took on a sharemilking role on the farm.

By the time John purchased the farm a decade later, the interest had earned him the reputation through New Zealand and Australia as a John Deere collector of note.

In 1988, John became a founding member of the Waikato Vintage Tractor & Machinery Club, helping the group become one of the largest in the North Island.

Cambridge Brass Band members remembered John for his gentle encouragement, his kindness and

his unflappable support through the decades - and his remarkable ability to fundraiser for the band, much of that done through the sale of his trees.

John is survived by his wife Jean, six children, 21 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.

We have lift-off…

David McCracken with his rocket

St Peter’s has unveiled its ninth sculpture a rocket called Towards A Better World.

The sculpture is David McCracken’s first installation at a school and is a symbol of optimism, ambition and forward thinking.

A conversation started two years ago after the St Peter’s Foundation had raised funds at an Art Auction in 2015 and were searching for a suitable installation.

The Foundation decided David’s rocket was the perfect find.

The unveiling was attended by donors, past principals, board members, art students and members of the school’s Senior Leadership Team.

Dragons hear top pitches

Four projects each won $250 start-up funding at the end of a Dragon’s den business interrogation at St Peters.

Fifteen students from Year 7 to Year 12 pitched their plans during last week’s final.

They had two minutes to convince three judges they were on to a winner – and then went through an eight minutes Q and A. The students overcame nerves to deliver 10 impressive pitch presentations that reflected six weeks’ hard word, including spending time during the end of term holidays writing their business plans and researching and validating their ideas.

The Dragons’ Den was co-ordinated by freelance business writer Andrew Patterson who said the students had all worked extremely hard, even exceeding his own expectations with what they had achieved.

“This was the first time I had run a programme like this with high school students and the effort and commitment of the students was very impressive. Their business ideas were all really well thought through and it was obvious to everyone who attended the final pitch

session how much they had learnt from their participation in the programme.”

The three judges, including Jonathan Marshall and Melissa Renwick, both St Peter’s alumni, and Susanne Rolfe, General Manager Sales & Marketing at Tatua, said they had a particularly difficult job deciding on the four businesses who each received $250 in start-up funding to establish their business.

The funding was thanks to the support of Dragon’s

Den sponsor Milford Asset Management.

The funding went to: Luke Brouwer (Year 8) who has established Safari Garden, designing back lit, rustic shelving units that can be made to order.

Gennie Tuck (Year 9) the founder of Good As New, a business which provides secondhand school uniforms, sports equipment and school supplies and donates a portion of the business profits to charity.

Evelyn and Thom Dijkstra

(Year 10 & Year 7) the founders of Wetter, which produces a multi-purpose seat for young children.

Emma-Lee Abbot-Joe (Year 12) whose business A Piece of Cake is a cake making service and can provide the ingredients to make a cake.

Campus Principal, Julie Small, described the Den as the highlight of her week.

“I was so impressed by the entrepreneurship and knowledge the students exhibited and they obviously loved the opportunity.”

THE AGE OF REASON

Up the pole religion

Reflecting on the Fourth Estate

By Peter Carr

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

mountain region. But crowds of pilgrims invaded the area to seek him out. This led him to adopt a new way of life atop the pillar in order to escape the everincreasing number of people who came to him for prayers and advice.

He determined to live out his life on this platform. Boys from the nearby village would climb up the pole and pass him parcels of flat bread and goats’ milk for sustenance. It’s said he also pulled up food in buckets via a pulley.

Life up the pillar attracted even more people coming to see him, both pilgrims and sightseers. Simeon speaking from above, lectured those assembled below.

It is also known that he wrote letters, the text of which some have survived to this day.

Far be it from me to judge what Simeon did with his life but there’s a certain incongruity with his intensely religious ascetic ‘up the pole’ approach which is at variance with what Jesus taught and modelled. Although Jesus withdrew from pressing crowds on occasions, His engagement with people was at the very core of His purpose in coming to earth.

One of His names, Emmanuel means “God with us”. It wasn’t Him to be aloof, separated.

Crowds followed Him - Jesus’ miracles and words were one and the same. His teaching was authoritative and remains eternally life-giving. My point is Jesus is not distant. He’s the same today as ever… accessible, available - near to all who will call upon Him.

Several months ago, the government (the old one) decreed that a number of well written journals were not to be permitted to appear.

The reasoning, and even more importantly the rationale, for this decision was hard to fathom.

In fact as you read these words here today be thankful that the owner of the Cambridge News has a dual role – as also being the representative leader of the 80-or-so free weekly ‘local’ tabloids that fall into letterboxes all over the country.

He fought the government in a ‘publish or be damned’ scenario to ensure that not only were his eager readers to be satisfied but also his loyal advertisers were still able to spread the word about their wares and services. And Bravo to you sir!!

At the same time that the government had the temerity to stifle the fourth estate an overseas owner of a number of glossy magazines decided to shut up shop. The owner very conveniently used the government’s ‘thou shall not publish’ dictum as a timely cover.

So, imagine my surprise and pleasure to see the lounge coffee table this week being graced by a new ladies’ magazine that will be, initially and wisely, a fortnightly presentation. The editor announced in the first editorial that she was a redundancy victim of that untimely and unwanted closedown. She is determined to produce a document of worth, class and multi-interest and by the initial example she has hit the journalistic nail on the head.

Which turns me to the subject of journalists.

And I mean real ones. Not the continual simpering of poor standard reporters masquerading as princes of the pen – and not forgetting princesses too! There was a time, about 30 years ago, when reading The Listener was very important if one wished to read well balanced, grammatically correct prose with a depth of investigative journalism. In the UK one would have devoured

Punch. About that time, as a marketing manager, I was a keen follower of the ABC circulation numbers which measured actual sales – and which then caused publishers to balloon the circulation by talking about readership. Especially if the organ concerned was to rest in some highly frequented and highly visible display point such as a doctor’s waiting room.

In the company for which I was supposed to be the marketing guru it was important that we balanced our meagre advertising budget, set against not only readership numbers, but more importantly a class or type of reader for which our message would be accepted as pure gold.

Which of course meant a weekly meeting with our contracted advertising agency whose income was generally directly linked with the amount of time that they kept me busy listening to their ‘expert’ opinion on message delivery.

Whatever resulted in type – and therefore public display – was keenly devoured by both our general manager (CEO had not been invented then) and members of the Board who were appointed by the government of the day. Nervous twitches at the corner of the mouth preceded the phone call from the Minister as to ‘what are you fellows trying to achieve?’ It was impossible to satisfy everyone especially where other departments salivated to get their hands on the marketing budget to use for their nefarious gain.

It was actually a fun time. We learned that a fickle misunderstanding public could be turned with well written words and eye-catching illustrations. That, hopefully, drove the real target readers to further utilise our products and services.

These days the electronic media – of mixed worth – is a far greater arbiter of user choice and, even more importantly, customer retention.

Sad really, but we have to move with the times.

‘Old’ buildings in New Zealand would be considered structures built in the 19th century - whereas in other parts of the world, that is relatively recent.

In Syria an historic building which dated back to the fifth century was badly damaged in 2016 by a Russian missile strike. The Church of St Simeon Stylites, located in north western Aleppo was a casualty of the Syrian war which has exacted terrible carnage at so many levels.

This particular church complex had been the site of a skinny pillar rising 50 feet high- until the missile strike left nothing but a ‘stump.’

The significance of this upright column was that it was ‘home’ to Simeon Stylites.

That’s right. There atop the pole, a little platform was mounted. Believed to have been about four feet square, surrounded by a baluster, Saint Simeon lived for 37 years enduring the heat of summers and cold of winters- not to mention giddiness and personal hygiene challenges!

Simeon was the son of a shepherd in a town called Sis, in the Roman province of Cilicia (modern day Turkey).

He apparently developed an unusual religious zeal at a young age. He entered a monastery before the age of 16 and from the start gave himself to extreme rigid ascetic practices - too austere for his contemporaries who asked him to leave.

He later took to standing continually upright so long as his limbs would sustain him.

He relished solitude, shutting himself away in a hut for one and a half years, then confined himself in a rocky

COMMUNITY HOUSE

NO PLANET B

A forcing of nature

Alice’s story: how the House helped

By Peter Matthews

By Harriet Dixon, General Manager, Cambridge Community House

I like a nicely mown lawn, and a tidy garden. So, when the sun came out a couple of weekends ago, I had no excuses left.

Having put it off for weeks on end I had to get into it.

My neighbour must have been working to the same time frame because he was out in force as well.

Between us, during the course of the day, we unleashed the power of no fewer than seven pieces of petrol driven machinery on our unsuspecting gardens.

It would have been eight except for the fact that my lawn edger is manual - a circular blade with a foot pedal and a handle.

That was when I realised it was a bit ridiculous; as I hopped and lurched along trying to get this thing to cut through the thick outriggers of lawn which were making a break for the path - my neighbour breezed past me in a cloud of two-stroke fumes leaving a ruler straight divide between grass and concrete.

Apart from those we each had a line trimmer, a garden blower, and a lawn mower, although his is a ride-on so, again, he was cruising past.

By the time we sat down for a well-earned beer at the end of the day we had hammered our respective patches of nature into temporary submission, and the result was very pleasing - to our eyes.

Not so much to the countless insects we had probably made homeless, and the innumerable weeds we had dealt to, I by pulling them out and he by spraying them with chemical herbicide or ‘weed spray’ as we euphemistically refer to it.

Of course, weeds are just plants where they’re not wanted aren’t they? They

probably think they have as much right to grow in our gardens as the other plants.

Of course, they don’t think - but they might if they could.

But no, we do not want the weeds so we kill them by every means possible in our quest for order in the garden; nice even lawns, colour co-ordinated shrubs, pot plants, climbers, and trees, each in their allotted space, pruned, espaliered, pleached, and tweaked to look as unnatural as possible.

Marvellous. As I said I love an ordered garden.

It’s not right though is it? If am to be a caring conservationist, a greenie who looks after the environment, as I claim to be, or more accurately, as I would like to be, I should ensure that my garden is as close to the natural indigenous landscape as it is possible to be i.e.: native bush. In all honesty I think my next garden will be just that, although I might still allow myself the personal luxury of a small lawn, and there will be more time to enjoy a beer on it because I won’t be spending so much time fighting a battle I cannot ultimately win forcing nature to be something it isn’t.

I need to talk to you about Alice. Alice’s story is not unique. It’s a story of violence, emotional duress, physical injury and financial hardship. But it’s also a story of impact.

We first contacted Alice late in 2018 after the Integrated Safety Response team reported a family harm incident to us. In Alice’s case, as it is so often, this family harm was an instance of violence against a woman, committed by a partner or loved one.

She was reluctant to talk to us. Fear kept her from speaking and she continued to live with the incessant threat of harm. Several months passed before she felt comfortable accepting our help. In February last year she began seeing one of our counsellors.

Six months of help gave her the confidence required to talk to the local Police liaison officer and act on the protection order she already had in place. She had finally reached a point where she felt the abuser could be removed from her home and she could use the safety plan she made with our help.

This is never an easy step to take. As well as the threat of violence, there are changes to living circumstances and a host of other pressures which make the change tough to go through.

Family harm is insidious. For Alice there was a recurrence, when associates of her abuser attacked her, in retaliation for her making positive changes.

Alice credits Cambridge Community House with helping her to access medical treatment for her injuries, advocacy with housing and utility providers, lawyers and police. We also helped her get emergency food support, provided her with financial

mentoring and counselled her to help with her anxiety, develop coping skills and to build her independence.

We helped Alice learn the skills she needed to combat this situation, but the perseverance and determination to deal with her difficulties is all her own. It is great for our team to see how their work can help an individual cope with a dire situation like Alice’s. The work we had done and her experience with dealing with us gave her the confidence to act quickly when she needed to.

Alice explains: “It has been a life changing decision full of upheaval and change, to deal with family harm again. But I know, in the long run, I will get there with support.

Without the understanding and trust I would not have this chance to get my life back. I had enough connection and trust to be able to walk into Cambridge Community House knowing I would get support. After getting help with my health, injuries and emotional state, I am back on the road to recovery and work.”

Alice’s situation is not uncommon. If you, or someone you know needs help, support and encouragement to handle a family harm situation, come to us at Cambridge Community House. We will listen and we will help.

Show you don’t condone violence against women by taking the White Ribbon day pledge at whiteribbon.org and encourage the people you know to have respectful relationships.

Clean river 4BBRW: a winged wonder budget boost

The latest funding to improve the condition the Waikato and Waipā river is also expected to bring an economic boost to riverside communities.

The Waikato River Authority has increased its annual funding for river clean-up projects, in part to ensure support for environmental and iwi groups recovering from the financial impacts of Covid-19.

A total of $6.2 million has been allocated to 38 projects.

Waikato River Authority Crown Co-Chair Paula Southgate says the Authority’s 2020 funding round has been one of its most successful in 10 years of operation.

“The Authority board was pleased to be able to increase the level of funding it has made available. This was due to the strength and quality of the applications to carry out river restoration and also the desire by the board to support river communities.” Ms Southgate says ensuring prosperous communities is an integral part of the Vision & Strategy for the Waikato River.

Iwi Co-Chair, Roger Pikia, says the funding round has also been notable for the impressive number of iwi projects successfully funded.

“We’ve seen the number of applications from iwi grow over recent years and the number of applicants partnering with iwi has also increased. That trend has continued this year with 16 iwi led projects receiving $3.2 million.”

Mr Pikia said there had also been strong alignment with the Authority’s funding priority for wetland restoration. Among the projects funded this year is the restoration of Lake Kimihia north of Huntly, now highly visible from the Huntly by-pass expressway. The project is being led by Waikato Regional Council with strong support from Waikato-Tainui, the Department of Convervation and local landowners. The project involves raising the level of the lake and undertaking restoration of wetland margins.

Pūniu River Care has also been funded nearly $600,000 to carry out a series of environmental projects focussed in Waipā River catchment.

A male kūaka – the godwit - is the talk of the global ornithological community after setting what appears to be a new world record for a non-stop flight from Alaska to the Firth of Thames.

During its migration last November the adult godwit, fitted with a transmitter, was tracked across the Pacific Ocean, and covered more than 12,000kms in 9.3 days, touching speeds close to 100km/h.

The bird is named 4BBRW – after the bands on its legs – and was tracked by satellites.

Its estimated flight time was 224 hours.

It left Alaska on September 18 and arrived in the Firth of Thames around 9.30pm on September 27 – nine straight days airborne.

Keith Woodley, the manager of the Pukorokoro-Miranda Shorebird Centre on the western coast of the Firth of Thames and author of a book on the species, says the bird’s astounding effort is being hailed as a record by bird watchers around the world.

“We think it’s the distance record – a bird named E7 did 11680km back in 2007, and we think this bird has gone a bit further than that.

“He’s truly a champion.

This year, in particular, it’s certainly something to lift the spirits of folks – even though

we may get a bit envious of birds that don’t have to do quarantine and negotiate border controls.”

The godwits migrate from New Zealand to China in March and April. They stop over in the Yellow Sea to feed, before heading to Alaska in May and June, where they stay for several months during the Northern Hemisphere summer. They migrate back to New Zealand in September.

Keith Woodley says the tracking of 4BBRW has given an important insight into how weather conditions in the Pacific can impact on the godwits’ migration.

“We know wind is an important part of a migration strategy, and like a cyclist, they’ll try to get a tail wind if they can – but they can’t always manage it.

The recording of the bird’s journey has added crucial new information to wider understanding of the godwits’ migration, Keith Woodley says: “The little devices on the birds are solar-powered, and the people doing the research are expecting to get two, three maybe even four years of data if the devices keep working as they should.

“There’s the possibility of following an individual bird over several migration cycles, and it would be very

Godwits at Thames.

interesting to see if they follow the same route.”

The godwits double their weight before their marathon migration, increase their red blood cells, and while on their long flights they contract their digestive system - changes which occur three times a year.

They arrive at the Firth of Thames exhausted from their journey from Alaska.

Bruce McKinlay, a Technical Advisor in the Department of Conservation (DOC) who represents DOC the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) says the detail provided by this tracking work is important in identifying the pathways

migratory birds use during migration.

“Tracking results such as this are the key building blocks for engaging with partners from as far away as Alaska and Siberia to protect habitats that are essential to completing these massive migrations.”

Godwits are classified as declining due to the loss of their habitat.

Although the length of the godwits’ migration is impressive, it is not the longest in the bird world.

That title is held by the tiny arctic tern, which has been tracked on a 71,000km zig-zag migration between Greenland and Antarctica.

King Country get new nursing option

Wintec will deliver Enrolled Nursing and Certificate of Health and Wellbeing programmes in Ōtorohanga next year.

Wintec Centre for Health and Social Practice Director Sharon Brownie said the move was a response to the growing need for accessible vocational education and training.

The course will also be offered in Thames.

A series of information sessions are planned for both communities on three dates from late October to mid-December.

“We’ve consulted and evaluated the benefits of delivering these programmes in these communities so that studying towards a health career is more accessible and affordable for our potential students, to better support their success,” Dr Brownie said.

“Localising these courses also helps to grow a culturally responsive and work-ready health workforce within these communities to help meet the health care needs of Māori, Pasifika, rural and remote health consumers.

It also means that study with the support of whānau and the community is possible, and we know this is a factor in student success, particularly for our Māori and Pasifika, and rurally remote learners” Students will be able to study “locally”

with a combination of in-person and learning online, like all Wintec students.

“These are the same courses delivered at our Wintec Hamilton campus, so our new regional students will get the same level of tuition and support and they will be supported to develop accessible work experience opportunities.”

The courses are expected to appeal to a wide audience from school leavers to career changers with an interest in health.

Enrolled Nursing leads to a range of jobs in hospital and community-based health sectors. Wintec also offers the option for nursing students who identify as Māori and Pasifika to study the Tihei Mauri Ora stream which incorporates knowledge and perspectives from both the western and Māori worlds.

The one-year New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing provides students with the foundation knowledge, skills, and practical experience required to work alongside individuals, families and whānau accessing social and community services. Ōtorohanga and Thames students can select from one of two strands as the focus of their studies: Mental health and addiction support or social services.

“Both these qualifications also provide

pathways to further education and higherlevel qualifications in nursing and social

work,” says Dr Brownie.

For more information go to wintec.ac.nz

Wintec has opened enrolments for nursing training.

“We pride ourselves on making old age worth living”

Waikato dominates school Lacrosse In a rare double, Waikato teams won both the Girls and Boys New Zealand Lacrosse U15 National Championships at Tamahere Park.

Waikato sides also took silver medals in both Labour Weekend tournaments, with Auckland teams winning bronze. It was an exceptional outcome for the region, and testament to the depth of players at this level from the strong ongoing U15 development programme.

In the Girls’ tournament, it was the Waikato Gold team that won the Girls Championship 12-9 at the end of an epic tussle with their regional co-team Waikato Red. Cambridge High School students Aishlyn Lawton, Deanna Young, Lucy Kibby, and Sophie Laurent were players for the winning team.

Melissa Gratwicke, coach for Waikato Gold, commented “They were really hungry and gritty, and they just fought for everything.

They weren’t giving anything, they really had to dig in. They started out, got behind and didn’t have a great start, but managed to dig in, pull it back, and take on a good lead.”

Gratwicke, who plays for Hartford University in the US on a full lacrosse scholarship added “I coached [for this tournament] three years ago in 2017, and the standard from then to now is just unreal.

These girls are U15 and I am just lost for words. They are just so talented, and they work really, really hard for it as well.”

Particular recognition was given to Aishlyn Lawton (Waikato Gold) who was awarded the Phillipa Cowper Award for the Most Valuable U15 Player. Aishlyn is a Year 11 student at Cambridge High School and has represented Waikato as an U15 and U18 player.

beat Waikato Gold 11-7. Cambridge High School students Bastiaan Banks, Jacob D’Ath, and Connor Harvey-Price were players for the winning team Kris Nebeskӯ who oversaw the tournament said both Auckland and Waikato were putting in some good teams and playing very good lacrosse.

He said it was good to see Waikato finish the tournament with a win and “obviously being a Waikato native I take that to heart”.

“It’s a good victory for us. And awesome to see the development that we’ve got and seeing how everyone has progressed and getting better.”

The New Zealand U15 National Lacrosse Championships runs annually and alternates between the Waikato and Auckland. The tournament will return to Auckland in 2021.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Free Up Your Cashflow

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Struggling with high interest rates on short term debts such as hire purchases, credit cards or personal loans??

THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DEBT CONSOLIDATION. What is debt consolidation?

It’s the combining of several short term debts incurring high interest rates into one loan at a lower rate of interest.

Who should consider debt consolidation?

If you own your own home you can consolidate your short term debts into one loan by taking out a new mortgage against your house which is sufficient to pay off all the smaller debts.

Remember - the cheapest money you can borrow is generally housing interest rates with your mortgage.

What are the benefits of debt consolidation?  You have only one repayment each month.  You have to meet the repayment criteria of only one lender - your bank.  Your overall interest rate will be lower - compare 4.25% on your mortgage with up to 22% on your credit card debt.  The length of your term can be structured to suit your needs.

Let me give you an example:A short term debt of $30,000 made up of two hire purchases, two credit cards and a personal loan may cost $1,200 per month in repayments.

Consolidate this debt into a home mortgage and the repayments will come down to approx $180 per month over a 30 year term. Pay $580 per month over a five year term and the repayments are reduced by more than half and the $30,000 debt can be paid off in full in five years!

If you would like to talk about consolidating debt, please call me at Yes Mortgages on 823 4531 or 021 783 266.

Applause for a ‘deserved win’

The horse labelled with the biggest heart in Graeme Rogerson’s barn was finally rewarded with a win at Cambridge Raceway on Sunday.

Splitting Image has gone through plenty of trying times throughout her career and Rogerson’s stable foreman and driver Dylan Ferguson was rapt with her one length victory in the Off Road Sponsors Driver Prize – Nov 6th Trot (2200m).

“She has got the biggest heart of any horse we have got and there is no horse in the stable that deserves to win more than she does,” Ferguson said.

“If people knew the troubles she has had in her life they would be amazed that she is racing let alone winning.”

Splitting Image is bred and raced by her trainer in partnership with his granddaughter Bailey Rogerson, and Merv and Meg Butterworth. The mare’s struggles began well before Ferguson returned to the Hamilton stable.

“Before I started at Rogies she had surgery on one of her knees, which was more to save her as a broodmare than a racehorse,” Ferguson said.

“There was a lot of work from the previous staff and the vets. When I started back working there we put in some long hours with her and she was in work for a long time before she started

Splitting Image has overcome the odds.

racing again.

“Those problems have created other problems since she has been racing.”

Those issues still plague the five-year-old who was only cleared to race on Sunday morning.

“Right up until this week she has had a bit of trouble with one of her back hooves,” Ferguson said.

“I only got the shoe back on her on Sunday and jogged her in the morning to make sure she was going to be alright to race.

“She is definitely not the soundest horse in the world, but she has got the biggest heart. That takes her a long way.”

Splitting Image is now in-foal to Majestic Son, but Ferguson is hoping she can add to her three-win

tally before heading to the broodmare paddock.

Earlier in the night Ferguson was pleased to see talented but erratic trotter Delson trot the entire 2200m journey of the John Deere Cambridge Handicap Trot to finished runner-up by a head to Griffins Hall.

“It was good to see him do everything right and go well,” Ferguson said. “I don’t think he could have gone much better first-up with no trials, but once he has done it a few more times I will be a bit happier.”

Ferguson’s partner Jo Stevens will have some bragging rights in their household having trained the victor, with Ferguson’s father Peter doing the steering.

“Griffins Hall is a trotter that is in form at the moment

and when trotters are trotting well and doing things right they generally can hold their form for a while,” he said.

“But it was a good effort from Delson from 40m behind.

“To trot 2:47.1 first-up with no trials reminded us that he does have ability.”

If he continues to improve this preparation, Ferguson is eyeing some loftier targets with the six-year-old gelding.

“We are going to head back to Cambridge in a fortnight,” he said.

“We would like to head back to Auckland at some stage and race for a bit better coin. If he is going well he will hopefully race in the Christmas features at Cambridge and Auckland.”

Probabeel gets a holiday Quality mare Probabeel will be coming home to New Zealand to take a well-earned break in some lush New Zealand pasture after a gritty effort in Saturday’s Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m).

The Savabeel four-year-old’s Cox Plate bid was ultimately undone by the fickle Melbourne weather that saw the Moonee Valley track rated a Soft 7 on the day after heavy overnight rain.

Ridden close to the pace off an inside barrier draw, Probabeel struggled to make ground in the final 400m on the testing surface, eventually finishing a meritorious seventh behind eventual winner Sir Dragonet.

“She’s pretty tired and knows she has had a hard run,” trainer Jamie Richards said.

“We’ll take it easy with her now and she will come back to New Zealand for a break and then we’ll get her ready from here for an autumn campaign in Sydney.”

Richards is eagerly anticipating the mare’s return as he hasn’t seen her in the flesh for well over eight months due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions that have been in place since March.

“I’m very pleased she’s coming home as I haven’t seen her for so long,” he said.

“We were very proud of her on Saturday and I think she represented New Zealand with distinction.

“The race went to plan from the draw, we rode a positive race, but she just found the going too tough and wasn’t able to hold in there the last bit.

“I would say we won’t run her over that sort of trip on bad ground again as she needs the firm footing to be effective over more distance.”

While Probabeel couldn’t add another Group One to her record for Richards and her owners, Cambridge Stud couple Brendan and Jo Lindsay, the combination were to the fore at Trentham on Sunday with Redoute’s Choice four-year-old mare Silver Lake banking her first win with an impressive display over 1200m.

“She was very good and the key to her is possibly racing left-handed,” Richards said.

“We’d waited for the right race. She drew wide so we scratched on Matamata Cup Day (October 10) and the next meeting had a wet track.

“Although it was a long way to go for a maiden race, it did look a nice option for her.

“She has plenty of ability and it’s just up to her to keep producing it on race day. It was a satisfying win and good to get another for Brendan and Jo (Lindsay), who are great supporters.”

Richards picked up a double on the day to take his season’s tally to 40 wins and over $1 million in prizemoney to date. The victory of Need I Say More in the Gr.2 James and Annie Sarten Memorial Stakes (1400m) at Te Rapa on Saturday also brought up his 500th victory as a trainer.

Titles, plaudits for BMX club Cambridge has shone at the re-scheduled BMX National age group Championships which drew more than 400 riders to Christchurch last weekend.

While this was a lower number than in a normal year the calibre of riders was high and included a team of 20 riders from the Cambridge BMX Club ranging in age from 7 to 45 years.

The Canterbury conditions were still and warm and the atmosphere from the crowds, commentary and music was buzzing as the riders competed over four races on Saturday and three races on Sunday.

Cambridge confirmed its rank as top

NZ club with National Titles going to Meg Canon 10 girls, Lily Greenough 13 Girls, Jack Greenough 15 boys, Leila Walker 15 girls, Tim Ferguson 35-39 men and Louis Hunt 15-16 Cruiser.

Further podium results were 2nd Brock Nelson 13 boys, 2nd Scott Donaldson 17-24 men, 3rd Tyla-Shae Donaldson 17-24 female.

In addition to Cambridge Clubs success in the racing, Cambridge senior riders were to the fore in the annual national awards.

Sportswoman of the year went to Leila Walker, Sportsman of the Year to Bennett Greenough and North Island Coach of the Year to Scott Donaldson. Leila, Bennett and Scott are

Jack Greenough won the 15 boys class for the 6th time and is a member of the National BMX Performance Hub.

Natzke leads way in opener

By Andy McGechan

The Bay of Plenty region was bursting with motorcycling talent over Labour Weekend as the country’s motocross elite sought a share of the glory at this traditional season opener.

And Cambridge Motorcycle Club member, Hamilton’s national MX2 (250cc class) Number two Josiah Natzke was certainly one man who made the most of his opportunity to steal the limelight.

The Bridgestone Kawasaki Racing Team star was a standout performer at Saturday evening’s Alpinestars SX4 Speedcross stadium event and was also winner on both of the two days of senior racing on Friday and Sunday, either leading his races from the start or simply carving through traffic after a mixed start.

The popular MX Fest event attracted was run over three days, to include the annual Battle of the Clubs event on Friday.

Natzke and his Cambridge

Motorcycle Club team-mates - Mike Cotter, Carson Mackie, Brodie Connolly, Hunter Scott and Dylan Westgate - dominated the BOTC on Friday, winning the event outright, thanks in a large part to Natzke’s rare outing in the MX1 class, riding a Kawasaki KX450F. Natzke qualified second to multi-time national MX1 champion Cody Cooper, who was representing the Tauranga Motorcycle Club, and then Natzke won the MX1/Vets combined race, before finishing runner-up to Cooper in the MX1/MX2 combined race.

Westgate was similarly impressive for the Cambridge effort, winning both his junior grade races.

Natzke was second to Cooper in the supercrossstyle SX4 Speedcross event on Saturday evening before reverting to a solely MX2 (250cc) campaign in the senior motocross on Sunday.

With four wins from four starts against his MX2 rivals, Natzke dominated the 250cc

racing, finishing the day a whopping 15 points clear of his nearest threat, current national MX2 champion Maximus Purvis, from Mangakino.

Meanwhile, the Yamaha New Zealand Extreme OffRoad Championship series reaches the point of no return in Hawke’s Bay this weekend.

Wainuiomata’s defending champion Jake Whitaker holds a slim lead having won the series opener near Porirua in early September and then finishing runner-up at round two near Whangamata two weeks later.

Cambridge builder Dylan Yearbury won the day at round two, but is in catchup mode having skipped round one due to injury. He will offer up his no-show as his “discard” event and that means it’s vital for him to perform well, preferably to win, at the rounds that remain.

Round three of the series is a two-dayer in Hawke’s Bay and competition wraps up with another doubleheader near Christchurch, on November 14-15.

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.

As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we’ve reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.

Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease.

Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort.

Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

On January 22, this year, it was announced that Rotary and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation were renewing their longstanding partnership to end polio with a joint commitment of up to $450 million to support the global polio eradication effort. “The Gates Foundation’s longstanding partnership with Rotary has been vital to fighting polio,” said Mr. Gates, “That’s why we’re extending our funding match, so every dollar that Rotary raises is met with two more. I believe that together, we can make eradication a reality.”

Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system.

BUILDING IN THE Building for the future T he number of new homes being built in Waipā reflects the fact that buyers in the property market are looking at new, rather than used.

In the current housing climate, there is no question that it can be a better option. Building a house can save money and provide other benefits. Start fresh and you move into your own home, the way you want it – you don’t buy someone else’s problems.

Your new home comes with new appliances, modern insulation and, if you want, your own customised options.

Your investment is made safe in the knowledge that upgrades to appliances, walls, plumbing and electrical equipment will not be an issue for years. You may not even have to upgrade anything for as long as you live in the house.

Building instead of enables you to consider where you want to customise to your specific needs. Your interior and exterior will be exactly the way you

envisioned it would be. Instead of trying to fit all your ideas into an existing property, you can take the opportunity to get everything the way you want it up front. The benefits include things like solar panels and other energy efficient options.

Energy efficient appliances and additions like solar panels will save you money but require high upfront costs to install on an existing property.

Waipā is already seeing examples of energy efficient homes in the St Kilda subdivision in Cambridge, where homes are not just energy efficient, but also harvest water.

Building your own home means you can own a smart home, built in the digital age.

Your media is wired in.

You can choose to have an open backyard if you like mingling with neighbours or have the entire property to yourself. Building a home allows you to choose how much privacy you want to have.

Building a home means it will be your home. You will be the first person to live in it and are responsible for its position in the first place. And it creates a certain kind of value you can’t find on the housing market.

Building v buying If you set out to build your new home, your architect or builders (or both) will explain a few things you should be aware of.

Overall cost is influenced by location and building consent fees – that applies in Waipā and King Country as it does around the rest of the country.

The Building Guide NZ recommends you find out the average square metre costs of building from your builder, architect or quantity surveyor. This will help you keep your project plans at a realistic level.

The square metre

price average between districts can range from about $2000 to $2600.

If you’re aiming for custom-design bespoke, then expect anything upwards from $3000sqm.

Land is in demand

and prices continue to rise – but that’s no surprise – the property market boom shows no sign of abating.

One agency head noted this week the residential property market was booming before last weekend’s General Election, and a stable government would create more of the same because people could invest with confidence.

He predicts a further surge in property prices over the next six months.

So, building, rather than buying, continues to be an attractive option.

He predicts a further surge in property prices over the next six months.

So, building, rather than buying, continues to be an attractive option.

As you like it…

Building a home might feel like a Herculean task, especially if it’s your first.

But there are some very real advantages to building over buying an established home.

It can cost a fortune to adapt an established home to your needs. You might find the perfect place – except for that one feature that costs an arm and a leg to remove or relocate.

When you build new, you have an opportunity to determine how your bedrooms are configured, what kitchen layout you want, what type of tiles and carpet you use, and

everything in between.

Older properties are often full of appealing character, but that character comes at a cost in the form of ageing and worn out materials.

If you buy an existing home,

you will invariably need to do some general maintenance to ensure the property is in perfect working order before you settle in.

New homes will meet the most up-to-date building codes

and boast the latest in modern features and finishes. You won’t have to face major fixes, such as structural issues or failing heating systems. And if issues do arise, these will generally be covered under warranty.

Plus, the money you save can help you pay off the mortgage faster.

Energy costs can be a burden for households. Newly built homes take advantage of the latest in materials and technologies, which can offer huge relief for home-owners’ wallets.

Hercules would probably have built new…

More ideas for you So what other options could you consider?

Well, you could go for custom design or group housing.

Choosing to go bespoke means your home is unique and custom-designed to meet your specific needs.

Designers and builders can help develop your ideas, add innovative architectural ideas and customise your home to suit you. Skilled architects can design homes for tricky sites and optimise views, light and the natural environment. They are able to present options that may not have been thought of.

They should also have a good knowledge of the Building Code requirements.

Architects and architectural designers often play a big role in the build. Your investment with them ensures

your plans are followed. It’s not just high-end properties that will benefit from an architect’s input. They can add value to more budget projects.

If you opt for a plan from a group housing company, you are selecting something which is tried and tested. It’s also likely to be softer on your budget.

Group home builders have show homes and you can see the finished product, walk through it and get a feel of what it is actually like to live in.

Another advantage is that most group home building companies will personalise your home, and you can achieve your goals without bringing in your own architect. A significant advantage for potential home-owners is the cost saving on house plans.
