On your bike, Waipā! By Mary Anne Gill

A 30-year $10.4 million plan to get thousands of Waipā people out of their cars and onto walking and cycle tracks in Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi has been signed off by district councillors. The business case depends on Waka Kotahi (New Zealand Transport Agency) funding 51 per cent of the work but once approved will represent an “intergenerational” change in the way Waipā residents move around their communities. It will need a “mind shift” in thinking to develop infrastructure that works for the intended users, Transportation manager Bryan Hudson told the Service Delivery committee meeting on Tuesday. The plan dovetails nicely into regional and district transport strategies to ramp up rail and bus services connecting Waipā communities with Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga. Those strategies would result in more bus services through Waipā towns for residents. Community involvement will be critical for the Waipā cycle and walkway plans following controversy in recent months around two developments which should have successfully kick-started a movement away from cars but instead pitted the council against residents. Elected members, who bore the brunt of residents’ criticism over the Streets for People and Hamilton Road cycleway projects, told council staff to establish a working group to engage with the community better before the next stage gets underway. Hudson, talking to the council’s Urban Mobility Business Case, recommended forming two groups. Lessons had been learned from the controversial projects and the two working groups would play a key role in consultation and engagement.

How the plan looks for Cambridge. That would make sure council heard from a broad community base, he said. The first, a governance group, would include elected members, project staff and co-opted members from the community,

while the second reference group would represent the community and include the disability sector, cyclist groups, schools, churches, service clubs, heavy vehicle operators, business representatives, youth,

older users and Waka Kotahi (New Zealand Transport Agency). Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk will chair the first group which includes councillors Mike Pettit, Roger Gordon, Lou Brown, Marcus Gower and mayor Jim Mylchreest. Hudson and project manager Erik van der Wel will represent staff on the group. Stolwyk said people needed to have their say and she wanted representatives from the reference group included on the governance group. “We want people who are going to challenge us,” she said and that included those currently using social media to attack the council. “We want to hear from everyone here.” The business case’s objective is to increase active transport like walking, cycling, scooting and mobility equipment use in Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Kihikihi. That would involve increasing the numbers walking and cycling in Cambridge by more than five percent and in Te Awamutu by six per cent. Council will spend $5.82 million in Cambridge and $4.62 million in Te Awamutu and Kihikihi. The funding is provided for under the council’s Long-Term Plan. The preferred network in Cambridge adds 9.8km of protected cycleways, 4.3km of shared paths and 2.7km of cycle friendly streets. Cycling and pedestrian improvements will link Cambridge Middle School to town, Leamington, and Cambridge East School. To achieve culture changes, there would be an ongoing focus on school bike training, access to cycles, skills training and education for drivers. “The investment in cycling and pedestrian infrastructure in New Zealand has been problematic, with many projects having been built that have not resulted in any appreciable uptake of new users,” said Hudson.

Feds on Groundswell A number of people ask why Federated Farmers Waikato were not deeply involved in all the Groundswell events. I take my hat off to organisers for running the Howl as well as they did; my support might have been quiet as I personally was not invited by organisers, but we did have active roleholders attend. I was praying for it to go well and largely it did. Protests are notoriously difficult to run well. Many run by the rural sector in the past have been considered failures at a New Zealand Inc level. Waikato Feds has been blamed for fallout of non-Feds rural protests in the past, and even threatened with litigation. Nationally and locally, we see Groundswell as back-up to the work we do. You don’t create beneficial, long-lasting change by purposely creating a divide. Groundswell correctly are distancing themselves from supporters who choose extremist lines. Please, if these future protests are to succeed, people must understand what is acceptable and what is not. Persons who choose to go extreme undermine the wider group. Federated Farmer members are diverse and across the political spectrum, are not divided by sector, sex or race. We are here to get the best possible outcomes for our voluntary members who fund us. Many others gain from our work, which includes the wider community and through other charity associations. All of our Waikato district councils have received a letter from Waikato Feds on the 3 Waters in August, asking them to take the

discussion out publicly and pointing out the pros and cons. These are the communities’ assets, not councils’. You voted for them, help them make the appropriate choice by attending the next Groundswell event. Jacqui Hahn, President, Federated Farmers Waikato Third Bridge Cambridge ward councillor thinks the third bridge is an issue. It would not be an issue if these councillors had not been obsessed with pushing population growth. Thousands of houses needed they say, because of the projected population growth - but it is the building of these houses that is drawing people to Waipā and placing pressure on, such as the Bridge. infrastructure. This council is more concerned with projects such as cycleways and $9 million on the Cambridge-Hamilton cycleway. Water supply has been a problem and taken second place for years because of these projects., They recently bought the old Bunnings building and are now going to spend $13 million on upgrading it and around $10,000 a month on ground rent. Imagine what this sort of expenditure has taken away from more important things like water and roading? This bridge and the peripheral work needed around these growth cells is the consequence of this council pushing population growth. We need people on council with a less cavalier attitude to rates money and thinking easy come, easy go. Bernie Fynn Te Awamutu

Council looks at cemetery space By Blair Voorend

Some cemeteries will be at full capacity in a little over a decade, district councillors have been told. The region’s 10 public cemeteries can take another 12,000 burials – which at the current rate would provide space for a further 60 years. But some are likely to be full or almost full in a decade. They are Paterangi, Te Awamutu, Puahue and Pukeatua. Waipā District Council’s reserves planner Tofeeq Ahmed identified those closest to filling up in mid-2030’s in a report to the Waipā District Council. The district’s burial sites also three private cemeteries and many urupa and there are about 200 burials a year. The 10 public cemeteries of Hautapu, Kihikihi, Leamington, Ōhaupō, Paterangi, Pirongia, Puahue, Pukeatua, Pukerimu and Te Awamutu are managed by council. Mr Ahmed has been working on a study to look at how existing cemeteries can cope through to 2048, how they may be extended and how amenities in existing cemeteries can be improved. A hectare will provide space for about 1200 burials as well as cremations and space for buildings, roads, gardens, and parking. Leamington cemetery has its own section for eco-burials, or natural burials, which take up more space. Natural burials require larger plots to allow for memorial plantings to grow. The footprint of the Hautapu cemetery has also been reduced to provide for roading changes.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD

Be that someone… When I was working in the weekend, I responded to two incidents where alcohol played a factor. One involved a car being driven off the road into trees - luckily the driver was not injured, and no other vehicles were involved. The second was in response to two separate 111 calls relating to dangerous driving. The driver had driven over the Kaimai Range and was heading towards Cambridge. The callers were alarmed by the way the vehicle was weaving all over the road and had even overtaken into the path of an oncoming truck. They believed this vehicle was a crash in the making. We intercepted the car at Karapiro and stopped it. The driver was found to be over the limit for breath alcohol and will have his day in court for his driving. This reinforces the benefit of making that phone call. The impaired driver had travelled over from Tauranga, so it is likely others also saw his driving. I am thankful for the callers who

Tim.vandeMolenMP@parliament.govt.nz 0800 GET TIM (0800 438 846) TimvandeMolenWaikato

enabled us to catch up with him, before the worst happened. When crime is happening, it is common for people to assume ‘someone’ will have phoned Police. When all assume this however, no one may actually call. I need you to be that someone. In the case of the Kaimai dangerous driver, other motorists will certainly have witnessed the driving in question, however only two people made the call. The more evidence we can secure in cases like this, the better. A picture (or video) paints a thousand words. If you are the passenger in a vehicle, or have someone else with you, take a video recording the driving behaviour you are witnessing. Even if all witnesses think they’ve seen the same thing, different accounts will often include different bits of information and give an indication of over what distance the dangerous driving occurred. The roads between Tauranga and Cambridge can be risky at any time given different traffic levels

and conditions. We don’t need impaired drivers increasing the likelihood of a crash. Another matter that arose over the weekend was that of disqualified driving. If you allow a friend or family member to use your vehicle and they are either suspended or disqualified from driving, your vehicle will be impounded for 28 days when they are caught by Police. This will be a big inconvenience to you, particularly if you use your vehicle for work or ferrying children to school and activities or elsewhere. If that person were to crash your vehicle, any insurance may be null and void, creating further hardship for you. As the owner of a car, the onus is therefore on you to ensure the licence status of anyone driving. Thanks to all for the calls you do make to Police. The support from Cambridge community as a whole is appreciated.

Briefs… Bridge battle lost

Covid has won the 2021 Battle of the Bridge, organiser Mark Nogaj has announced. The popular sporting battle between Leamington and Hautapu will return next year – coinciding with the Leamington club’s 125th anniversary.

The drain game

New rain gardens to partly treat stormwater run-off from the St Andrews Anglican Church roundabout in Cambridge to Lake Te Koo Utu are in the design phase. Construction will begin over the summer.

Flood warning

Waipā District Council has sent 919 letters to properties in Ōhaupō, Pirongia, Cambridge and Te Awamutu, telling owners their houses are potentially at risk of flooding in a 100-year event. The council will conduct a survey of the properties’ finished floor levels from the road to confirm, but ultimately fewer than 100 are expected to remain vulnerable.

MP hits out

The Government has again been criticised by National MPs over its handling of the rural sector. Taranaki-King Country MP Barbara Kuriger – National’s spokesperson on Agriculture - said the targets set by the Government on water, climate change, zero carbon, emissions and land use had placed enormous pressure on the farming sector. She noted the suicide in rural regions was higher than in any other demographic.

Festival to move

Organisers of a national Christian festival want to move from its Mystery Creek base to a Karāpiro farm. Festival One is hoping to run its annual event on a 280-hectare rural property on Whitehall Road for 10 years – but has to convince Waipā District Council, which has initially declined the plan.

Here come the caravans Holiday makers are heading to Waipā to get out of their caravans and take in the scenery, gets n the water and ride.

By Mary Anne Gill

Expect a summer cavalcade of mobility homes and caravans through Waipā as holiday makers explore their own back yards. And one person who will welcome them is Waipā councillor Hazel Barnes who told the Finance and Corporate committee on Tuesday caravaners were a key to the district’s tourism future. In his annual report to the council, Hamilton and Waikato Tourism chief executive Jason Dawson said visitor expenditure for Waipā rose 14 per cent in the year to June 30. Based on electronic card transactions, visitors injected $138 million into Waipā’s economy.

Waipā District Council allocates $150,000 a year to the tourism organisation which also has service level agreements around activities and services it must provide to the district. Dawson said more New Zealanders were exploring their own back yard and in Waipā the attraction was to stay and shop locally. The Waikato Expressway brought Aucklanders closer to the region and Waipā capitalised on that, he said. Success stories included Hidden Lake Hotel in Cambridge which opened weeks before the first lockdown and afterwards stood up for events and became visible to business visitors, said Dawson. Hamilton and Waikato Tourism

partnered with New Zealand Motorhome and Caravan Association. Membership of the association ballooned in New Zealand post the first Covid lockdown. “We do see more New Zealanders on long weekends coming into the region now,” said Dawson. Even though accommodation facilities lose out, the caravaners and motor homeowners spend on retail, they come to events, and they spend on tourism attractions, he said. “I feel quite uplifted after reading this report,” said Barnes. “The caravan people, I see so many of them have taken this opportunity to get out and go and see things because there’s not much else, they can do.”

She said Te Awamutu would soon join Cambridge as a motor home friendly town with a caravan park site in Pirongia Road. Deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk said the Hamilton and Waikato Tourism annual report gave a comprehensive snapshot of the district’s situation. “We’re very lucky as a district, we bounced back very very quickly after the first lockdown. I suspect this lockdown will be a little different as it’s got a longer tail. But once we get rolling again, we will be just fine,” she said. Chair Andrew Brown said Waipā was “somewhat insulated” - not relying on international tourism to a great extent – “maybe it’s something we’d like to change in the future.”

Waipā eyes slice of movie money By Mary Anne Gill

Lights, camera, action – that’s a refrain you could be hearing more in Waipā with the establishment of a Waikato regional film office. Waikato Screen, as it will be known, will share offices with its funder Hamilton and Waikato Tourism in Waipā at Hamilton Airport for three years while it sets up and establishes the region as a desirable screen location. The international film industry is worth $3.5 billion to New Zealand but only 4.8 per cent ($170 million) goes to the Waikato. It used to be higher when The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit made its home in Hobbiton. In 10 years, Waikato Screen hopes to have trebled Waikato’s film economy. Erin Griffiths and Madelien Scholten from Waikato Screen told Waipā District Council’s Finance and Corporate committee

on Tuesday many other businesses benefit from film making. “If you ever look at the end of the films, it’ll have about four minutes of all the jobs you’ll have in films going through the credits,” said Griffiths. Films can have up to 32 different roles creating up to 700 jobs. The industry in Auckland employs 7500 people and involves 1800 businesses. Waikato could easily get a slice of that. “Waikato Screen will help grow jobs and businesses, retain our highly skilled crew, raise morale and profile our stunning region to the world of film,” she said. Waipā has already benefitted from Waikato Screen's intervention. Following three specific enquiries, council business development manager Steve Tritt met up with Scholten to scout for Waipā locations. “He showed us all the beautiful spots that matched

the producer’s brief. “That has been a great link and has been very valuable information because in the end production decided to film in Waipā and paid the location owner very generously,” said Scholten. Tritt said there was a constant stream of location scouts coming through Waipā closely followed by non-disclosure agreements. “It’s difficult to talk about film opportunities until they’re done,” he said. The money to establish Waikato Screen came from the Waikato Regional Council’s Regional Development Fund. It granted $575,000 to Hamilton and Waikato Tourism which contracts Waikato Screen. Funding also comes from Wel Energy Trust and South Waikato District Council. Waikato Screen will work alongside prospective filmmakers to facilitate their needs from film permits through to post-production,

creating sustainable employment opportunities. A regional film office would improve communication, stimulate economic development, support, and promote talent and showcase the region, said Griffiths. The Waikato is already home to high flying people in the industry - a leading location scout in Huntly, an assistant director from Power Rangers lives in Raglan and actor Joel Tobeck in

Cambridge. Councillor Mike Pettit revealed one of the parents at Cambridge Primary School, where he is principal, worked in props on Avatar and Lord of the Rings and spoke at a school gathering. Children were very engaged in the possibilities the film industry provided. Waikato Screen sought funding and support from Waipā District Council. No decision was made at the meeting.

Summerset plans $150m build Higher prices, A $150 million retirement village is to be built in Cambridge. Summerset will build on an 8ha site off Mary Ann Drive, just a couple of streets away from the Cambridge Oaks over-50s village. The president of the Retirement Villages Residents Association of New Zealand, Peter Carr said the village at Norfolk Downs will add to the existing six and a yet to be consented eighth village in the Cambridge area. He said it would give prospective

residents ample choice. “It is imperative that those searching take a very hard look at the occupational rights agreements for all villages and to ask searching questions as to a guarantee of adjacent care facilities, the qualifications and experience of the village management,” he said. The project is expected to create more than 200 jobs and up to 50 permanent jobs once the village is in full operation. The village will offer about 260 twoand three-bedroom villas and cottages,

serviced apartments and care rooms. It will also include a care centre for residents living with dementia. Summerset General Manager, Development, Aaron Smail said earthworks were expected to start this year, and the first residents should move in in early 2023. It will be Summersets fourth Waikato village. The company has 34 completed or under construction villages around the country – catering more than 6500 residents

Central Bowling Club’s well-kept gardens are the envy of Cambridge and now the woman who keeps them looking that way has been presented with a prestigious Bowls Waikato award. Dawn Britten has been a member of Central Bowling Club since 1983 and two years later she started cleaning the club rooms and doing the gardens. That contribution saw her named Waikato volunteer of the year, one of three awards the club picked up. The others were the prestigious club of the year and greenkeeper of the year to the hard-working Bill Winter. That means when the club holds its 75th anniversary over Labour Weekend, there will be plenty to celebrate, says club spokesperson Frank Broekmans. Dawn, who is a life member, opens and closes the club rooms every day, has served on the board and runs the popular Thursday afternoon roll up with Trevor Risbridge “Our gardens always draw attention from passers-by and Dawn keeps them

immaculate and colourful,” says Frank. “At our club we have one natural and one carpet green which enables our club to play year around. “Maintaining the natural green is no mean feature as it involves a great knowledge of chemicals, mowing techniques etc. “So, we can count ourselves lucky to have Bill looking after them.” “You can spot Bill on the green daily to make sure that we have the best playing field. “This is also recognised by players of visiting teams as well as Bowls Waikato who regularly choose our club green for centre events.” The club has accumulated many awards over its 75 years including two entries in the Guinness Book of Records. The first was for the longest marathon in- and outdoor bowls in 2016 and once again for outdoor bowls marathon in 2018. Club member Jesse Russell has represented New Zealand while he and

Taylor Horn have picked up national titles. The 75th anniversary celebrations kick off on October22 with a social gathering followed by a tournament the next day and a festive dinner on Sunday. “Covid has caused some havoc with the original plans and might still dictate a change in planned activities,” said Frank.

Dawn’s talents recognised

Dawn has been tending to the club gardens since 1985.

fewer sales

By Blair Voorend

House prices have continued to boom in Waipā. Latest Real Estate Institute figure show the median price for houses rose 16.6% - from $720,500 to $840,000 in the year to August 2021. But the number of sales plummeted – down from 90 in 2020 to 54. Agents said that was a consequence of Covid lockdowns More-Re director Peter Tong said challenges caused by the move to Level 4 included settlement delays and properties going unconditional during the lockdown. But one property was sold during the lockdown sight unseen. Auckland buyer interest in the Waipā market remained very strong. “Auckland buyer enquiry started for me on the first day of level four lockdown at 8.50am,” he said. He said that since being in level three, he had seen many “on behalf of” attendees at open homes – people looking for family or friends who are still stuck in Auckland. Tong said that with a low number of house listings, demand continued to climb and last month’s sale price was on average 44 percent above the capital value of properties and the median house in that time had reached $950,000. First National Te Awamutu director Vayle Hammond said that sellers had sought to hold off during lockdown, but demand has now slowed. Hammond said as prices are going up, buyer are becoming resourceful. “What we find is people are getting creative, families, friends or flatmates are grouping together to purchase,” she said. “This enables them to have a larger deposit, buy in a nicer area or price range and also share ongoing costs after purchase.” But buyers were frustrated at the shortage of listings – and by properties listed without a price.

FAITH IN WAIPĀ

Take another look…

THE AGE OF REASON

Just picture this

By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church

I visited a friend’s place where they had a large, striking photographic print hanging on the wall. It displayed imposing snow-covered mountains rising into the sky. The grandeur of the mountains formed a beautiful backdrop to flora and fauna. Magnificent trees fringed the edges of a calm lake and all of this reflected vibrantly into the still waters. The surroundings reflecting into the lake, provided almost an exact, but not perfect mirror image. When there was no one present, I took the picture off the wall and rehung it upside down. There were giveaway signs that the picture was not hanging the right way up, but these details only became apparent with keen observation. Once noticed, those anomalies immediately alerted you to the fact something was very wrong. It had to do with the reflections being in the wrong place. These subtleties were not easily detectable unless you took a hard analytical look. The fact the picture was hanging upside down remained undetected. All that time it captured attention, but this ‘issue’ went unnoticed. Much later, on another occasion, I casually directed the owners attention to their picture and mentioned “Oh your photo is hanging upside down!” At first there was protest to my claim until the explanation came that I had actually hung it that way long ago. There was a bit of laughter over how easy it is for familiarity to dull our perceptiveness, also how you think you ‘know’ what’s there and what you’re looking at. I’ve thought about that experience often in the light of how loads of people respond to

By Peter Carr

Christianity. Many assume they know ‘what’s there’ in the light of a casual look. Their conclusions aren’t always based on any up-close objective investigation… they’ve determined that there is nothing there that is relevant to them… perhaps by way of a bad experience or very poor example of Christian faith that left a bad taste in their mouth. It’s true sadly, that there’s flawed and inaccurate representations of what true Christian faith really is. If this is you, maybe what you experienced was an ‘upside down’ perspective and it warrants a closer look in order to see what is really there? In 2016 a group of European art galleries wanted their patrons to spend more time looking closely at paintings. The average ‘viewer’ was spending less than 30 seconds in front of a work of art. Researchers even found that most of that time was spent skimming the wall text describing the work instead of looking at the actual piece. These galleries introduced a competition in an effort to slow visitors down. They hung look alike fake art amongst their valuable masterpieces. Keen eyed gallery visitors who correctly identified the forgeries were rewarded with prize money. It worked. Similarly, regarding Christian faith, the reward for identifying what is real, then experiencing it, is worth more than a casual glance. So, take a closer look… that casual glance or upside-down perspective is worth revisiting.

Two years ago this week I was in Ireland – representing the NZ National Fieldays Society at the annual Irish Plough agricultural event. This is a gathering of all things agricultural (and a few other sideshows too) where in excess of 400,000 fervent Irish people visit each year. To place it in perspective the throughput numerically is three times that of the annual gathering at Mystery Creek. And this annual agri-fest is under the ownership and operation of a lovely lady in her mid-80’s. I was reminded of this pleasant escapade at the weekend when my electronic tablet threw up a photographic reminder of pictures I had taken that day in September – of any year. Coincidental with the excellent show a group of us toured the eastern side of the Emerald Isle to gain an understanding of how Irish farmers are tilling the soil and turning beautiful verdant pastures into both food (for humans) and food (for cattle). Hot off the press at this time was the apparition of Brexit where Irish farmers – who use the UK to transit large trucks to the European continent – were faced with paying a tariff for passing through an EU-free UK. The newspapers were full of fears, woe, gnashing of teeth and general upsetedness. I am further reminded this week – with Brexit now a done deal – that I have not heard much more about these frustrations. Their main beef was about beef and, to some extent, butter and cheese. Irish farmers were concerned that the net income from their labours would be diminished.

It appears the UK is intending to be lenient with the Irish agricultural producers. So why this diatribe about tariffs? Well, it has been interesting to note the tripartite agreement between three major nations on matters pertaining to nuclear submarines. Putting aside the virtues of being nuclear free it is also interesting to note that, coincidental with this tilt at the Chinese, the great oriental nation applied to become involved with the CTTP – the comprehensive 12 nation Pacific rim alliance for more progressive and, hopefully, one day tarifffree trade between nations. Now sitting at the bottom south-western edge of the Pacific with trade with China uppermost on our minds the government is walking a narrow and tight rope. Not wishing to fall into the abyss with which Australia finds itself in Sino relations – and conscious that China can turn taps off at a whim – it will be interesting to observe how our Foreign Affairs Minister conducts the next leg of the trade pathway To end on a cheerful note, one of the Irish farmers we visited invited the 20 of us to morning tea. We could not help noticing a group photograph on the kitchen table. It was the Maramarua First XV. And in the middle row was a younger version of our host. Farming aside his agricultural studies had taken him to the Waikato for an extended stay and he is extremely proud to be an honorary Kiwi.

Henry graduates with an honour Santa parade gets sporty

Cambridge plumber Henry Rombouts graduated at the Apprenticeship Training Trust’s celebration ceremony held online last Friday – and collected an award. The ATT event replaced the planned in-person graduation event at Sky City Auckland. Henry works for Laser Plumbing Cambridge and qualified in plumbing and gasfitting. He was also presented with a Plumbing World Award for Excellence, receiving $500 and a certificate. Henry has finished four years of training on-the-job, completing theory training at Wintec. Daniel Jones, managing director of Laser Plumbing Cambridge, said Henry has been a great apprentice and he deserved his award. “We are proud to have him on our team and see the skills he has developed, he’s really grown into the role and as a person and it’s been good to see how a solid trade such as

plumbing really brings out the best in him.” Laser Plumbing also won the Skills Organisation Award for Outstanding Host. A total of 91 apprentices graduated at the ceremony. The Apprenticeship Training Trust is an independent national charitable trust which provides pathways into careers in electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying. It has over 300 apprentices

working from four locations – Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch. “We have all experienced major disruptions this year which has increased the need for skilled plumbers, gasfitters and drainlayers and it is wonderful to see such a strong cohort of tradies entering our much-needed workforce,” Apprenticeship Training Trust chief executive Nicola Dashper said.

Planners of the Cambridge Christmas Parade on December 5 have announced details of this year’s event and have declared the 2021 parade theme as ‘A Sporty Christmas’. The parade will go ahead as long as Cambridge is at Alert Level 1. Destination Cambridge and the parade committee said last week the theme had been chosen as a nod to our Olympic year. Destination Cambridge CEO Miff Macdiarmid said it could refer to anything sporty “from tiddly winks to team, outdoor, or Olympic sports”. Last year’s event saw a full complement of floats take part, including vintage cars, animals, performers and musicians, dancers, tractors and other vehicles, along with the appearance of Santa and Mrs Claus. A highlight in 2020 was a contingent of stylish Straggler’s Car Club vehicles which Miff said would be returning. Float categories this year will be schools, community groups, preschools, and business, and all floats, except those in the business category, will be free. Business floats will cost $40. They will be judged across four criteria – evidence of ‘A Sporty

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 23, 2021

District plan or district scam? District plan? What district plan? Mary Anne Gill asks what faith residents in Waipā can have in it when the body that drew it up won’t back it.

What is the point of a district plan if the guardians of that plan in Waipā argue against it? I felt for three people while watching a threehour long Waipā District Council regulatory committee meeting on Friday. They were the only three not being paid to attend the meeting. They were there to argue that the council should stand by its own plan and ignore staff advice to ignore it. It appears they failed. And it is clear, given there are further applications which are contrary to the plan, that they are not alone. The three, Bill James, Adrienne and Murray Olsen live in Taylor Street, Cambridge. Last year they learned the property between them had sold for $800,000 and the new owners, Warren and Wendy Hodges of Hamilton, proposed to remove the 1950s house and construct in its place two buildings with five dwellings on a 1012 sqm section. Construction of the three three-bedroom and two two-bedroom town houses is a non-complying activity under the 2017 Waipā District Plan. The Hodges therefore applied to the council for an exemption, which anyone is entitled to do. They sought consent to subdivide one lot into five with shared access lots and permission to build five terraced houses. Council staff supported the application and reported any adverse effects would be minor. Staff also decided that under the Resource Management Act, the only people who should be told were four adjoining property owners.

Two of them, the Olsens and Bill James, lodged objections. For that reason – and that reason only - the case went to a hearing. Their submissions were impressive and neither smacked of a “Not in my Backyard” (Nimby) mentality. As Murray Olsen said at the hearing: “We are having to make a submission on something that does not comply. The proposal in its arrogance makes it look normal”. Bill James said council staff were attempting to change the District Plan by stealth instead of considering the wellbeing of residents in the area. “It does not enhance the local area. I do not understand why the council officers are supporting this.” He said the town houses could sell at between $850,000 and $1 million each.

Adrienne Olsen said they felt unduly pressured and hassled to accept the proposal before the application was made. “We are asking for the consenting authority to reject the proposal outright as it stands.” Murray Olsen said Waipā would be breaking its own rules. “Why not let urban development run rampant?” After commissioners Marcus Gower and Lou Brown heard from everyone, including council staff, they asked the developers and submitters to meet in another Zoom (online) room. There they discussed an amendment to the proposal which would involve building a higher fence, screening the townhouses’ front doors and windows, and changing the landscaping plan.

Before and after: the section as it looks now – and (inset) an artist’s impression of what Waipā District Council has been encouraged to approve.

The hearing was adjourned to await the amended plans. I really feel sorry for the Olsens and Bill James who not only had to sit through the hearing but make a submission on a proposal which is against the council’s own rules. That must have taken them many hours. Surely there is an easier and better way members of the public directly affected by developments like this can be represented? And if you think that is unnecessary, Sam Foster, one of Waipā’s representatives at the hearing, chillingly told the hearing there were several other submissions already lodged with the council which did not comply with the District Plan. The Waipā District Plan is a key document for the district. It contains policy guidance and rules on development and subdivisions and seeks to protect important buildings, landscapes and natural area. The Taylor Street application and another earlier this year in Coleridge Street, Leamington provide us with clear evidence that in-fill and compact housing plans are going to increase in Cambridge. Who can we rely on to argue our case if we as residents do not agree with those proposals? It is clear the council is struggling with the four-year-old District Plan. These are challenging times for property owners and those seeking to buy their own houses. Most of us are not planners or property experts. Homeowners’ life savings are, by and large, invested in their properties. Who can protect us if homeowners cannot expect help from the District Plan – or those who drew it up?

Currently, we have 1 Mayor and 13 councillors who represent 5 wards, and 11 community board members elected to 2 Community Boards. What we’re proposing

HAVE YOUR

SAY

Waipā District Council is currently undergoing a representation review. We’re considering how many councillors and community board members represent our community.

We’re proposing to reduce the number of councillors from 13 to 11, change a number of our ward boundaries and retain the current Community Boards in a similar structure to the way they are now.

Pirongia and Kakepuku Ward Cambridge Ward

Our proposed changes to ward boundaries include combining the current Pirongia and Kakepuku wards and extending the Maungatautari Ward around the south-west of Cambridge to include Kaipaki.

Cherry Festival

TALKING ECONOMICS

GDP: What does it measure? GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is New Zealand’s official measure of economic growth. On September 16 StatsNZ announced that GDP had risen by 2.8 percent in the June quarter. That was double the increase expected by most economic commentators. The increase in economic activity was widespread. Only three of 16 sub-sectors showed declines in activity. The primary industries sector grew the strongest, at 5 percent. The services industries sector, which is the largest and covers two-thirds of economic activity, grew at 2.8 percent. Growth was strongest in the accommodation, restaurant and bars’ sub-sector which grew by 25 percent following virtually no growth in the March quarter. This, of course, was due to the country coming out of lockdown and a limited international travel bubble opening. Both of those things have been reversed in the September quarter so this sub-sector will show limited and possibly even negative growth in the September quarter. Following the release, the NZ dollar strengthened and wholesale interest rates rose. The financial markets are no longer debating whether or not the RBNZ will raise the OCR (Official Cash Rate) at their next meeting on October 6. They are now debating whether it

will increase it by 0.25 percent or 0.5 percent. It should be raised by 0.5 percent, but the RBNZ has been so slow and timid that they will probably only raise it by 0.25 percent. A lot of attention is paid to the GDP numbers. GDP is one of the main targets in many countries’ development programmes. International league tables abound that rate countries economic success by comparing per capita GDP or GDP growth rates. One major problem with GDP as an indicator of economic performance is that it only measures activity that takes place in markets – and even then, only if the market is a formal one. In countries where grey markets (ones that are registered but underreport activity) or black markets (unregistered markets) exist, and most countries have them to some degree, the activity that takes place in those informal markets is frequently not included in GDP. This is not a big problem in New Zealand. But in Bosnia, for example, where I lived and worked for 10 years, it was estimated that these ‘informal’ economies were equal to about 40 percent of official GDP. Also, GDP does not include things that are not traded such as do-it -yourself work or unpaid home care. These omissions are significant in New Zealand.

WELDING & SUPPLIES

GDP was not developed to be a measure of a country’s overall quality of life. It does not measure important qualitative things like sustainability, environmental impacts, equality and health. But GDP is often used to compare the relative standards of living in different countries. It is a very poor measure for doing this. The OECD recommended a few years ago that countries should have a dashboard of performance indicators that are important to their citizens. GDP would continue to be one indicator, but the dashboard would include many of the things listed above. The New Zealand Government are beginning to talk about targeting ‘well-being’. This is consistent with the OECD’s recommendation and is a good thing. But at present ‘well-being’ is still a vague term and is already in danger of being overused and inappropriately used. It is not clear what the Government or their Agencies that use the term are actually targeting. The term needs to be given some quantitative dimensions. Until this becomes clearer, GDP is likely to continue to be used to assess some things it was never designed to measure.

Tamahere will host its cherry blossom festival over the next two weekend. The NZ Cherry Blossom Festival will be held on Sunday and October 2 and 3 at the English Cherry Tree Manor on Matangi Road, Saturday is being tagged United Nations of New Zealand day and will feature stilt walkers and human statues and food stalls. October 2 will be Ring of Life Day where brides will be invited to don their wedding dresses again. The Bridgerton Spring Ball will be held the following day and feature high tea. Festival organisers will be raising funds for the Waikato Breast Cancer Research Trust. Ann Cao, on whose property the fourth cherry blossom festival will be staged, said the opening ceremony would feature a tribute to the late Hamilton City Councillor Margaret Forsyth who lost her battle with cancer earlier this year. “In Covid 2, we run the festival with two designated areas at the venue. Each area can have 100 people in, and everyone can stay for two hours spending one hour in each area,” she said.

Something in Yesterday, when I was young the water... NO PLANET B

By Peter Matthews

Someone said to me at the weekend that the world is in a mess. If you think about it - it’s not really surprising; in the big scheme of things humans have only just swung down from the trees. It’s no wonder we’re having trouble growing up into a sensible global civilisation. One of our problems is that we don’t learn fast enough. A warthog hits the savannah at birth and very quickly learns how to avoid lions - or doesn’t get to pass on the genes. By comparison humans are useless when they are born. I’m not saying that warthogs should be the dominant species, but humans could do with steepening their learning curve. Have you ever seen the TV programme Grumpy Old Men? I could be in it. Compelled to watch early evening television this evening by virtue of the fact that I was in the same room, I found myself grumbling about everything on it. Why do advertisers insult their audience by portraying men as stupid while their wives are in possession of some secret wisdom communicated between each other with a savvy wink? Why is a news programme encouraging the use of plastic bags in supermarkets by running an item on how to open them? Then there is the laceration of the language taking place everywhere on every level; from split infinitives (a bit picky, I know), to the non-sensical application of the word ‘like’. “I was like, it was like, she was like, I’m like, and all that kind of thing and stuff”. Do you, like, see what I mean?

I suppose I am becoming a little intolerant; that and the world is changing around me in ways which I don’t appear to be keeping up with. At the dinner table most evenings the teenagers have to explain to me something which has been said because they will routinely take a perfectly good word and assign to it an alternative meaning. How about this? - “I ship you guys” means “I think you would be good together” - from the word ‘relationship’. It goes something like (note correct usage of the word ‘like’): Teenager says something. I say “What are you talking about? That is gibberish”. Teenager explains to me that the thought he has articulated does, in fact, make sense when expressed using conventional English. Ye Gods! What is the point? I suppose the point is that the young people want to be independent of the old farts. They want to write their own rules and do it their way. The perennial irony is that despite knowing everything, they don’t actually know anything at all. I was the same when I was young. I am full of experience and wisdom now. I just don’t understand why the young people aren’t hanging on my every utterance - I have so much to tell them. Of course, therein lies the problem: You don’t know how much you don’t know until you know enough to realise how much more there is to know.

Another Waikato local body has indicated it won’t go into bat for the Government’s Three Waters reform. Waikato District Council this week publicly celebrated the success of its own relationship with Watercare, which has managed district’s drinking, waste and stormwater infrastructure for two years. Its statement stopped short of dismissing the Government’s plan, though. The Government wants all 67 district councils to buy into its Three Water plan, which would see the creation of four publicly-owned multi-regional entities to manage the infrastructure. Councils have been offered financial incentives to get on board, and the plan has been the subject of a major advertising campaign - but there is an absence of firm support in Waikato. Waikato District mayor Allan Sanson cast a vote of confidence in his council’s present set up on Tuesday, saying he was proud of the decision to contract the water services to Watercare and was confident in the Waters Governance Board as the kaitiaki (guardians) of the partnership. “We trust the experts and they are reliable,” he said. He pointed to positive examples of the partnership with Watercare, including the upgrades to the Meremere wastewater treatment plant. Watercare had also renewed Waikato District Council’s wastewater discharge resource consent for 35 years with Waikato Regional Council.

Olivia’s back in the water

Cambridge swimmer Olivia Emmett was becoming something of a fish out of water thanks to Covid. The youngster had just arrived in Auckland for the New Zealand Short Course Swimming Championships when it was announced the city was moving to Alert Level 4. The event was called off before Olivia arrived at the pool and meant an immediate turn around back to Olivier Emmett Cambridge. “Olivia was disappointed, but didn’t mind too much as she felt lucky she had already had the opportunity to attend key national events earlier in the season. It was just a long time in the car,” her father Grant said. “Four weeks without training was tough and she was a real fish out of water.” Olivia is back in the pool under Covid-19 guidelines at Level 2 working towards her first Waikato Senior Championships in December, followed by New Zealand Age Group Swimming Championships in April. She is coached by Graeme Lang and gets support from the Matamata Swim Club as well as her school – Cambridge High.

Ride festival gets bigger Next February’s Waipā Ride cycling festival will feature new courses and it a candidate to host an international event. The Ride NZ Cycling Festival is billed as the premier road cycling event in the country and runs over four days. The fourth Ride will run from its based in Cambridge from February 10 to 13. The festival encompasses the New Zealand Gran Fondo, the elite national road championships, and an open time trial. Gran Fondo is an Italian term, that loosely translated means “big ride”. Gran Fondos are mass participation cycling events and in 2022 there will be three new distances to provide more options. The festival is a candidate to become part of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series. That would mean the top 20 percent of riders in their age groups will qualify for the world championships and represent their country. “We’re particularly excited about the new distances in the Gran Fondo this year and bringing a 100-mile event into the fold, whilst retaining two shorter distances to encourage participation at all levels,” chairman Dean Peterken.
