THE HUB WILL BE HOPPING THIS EASTER!

The Spectacular

Children's Easter Egg Hunt

The Wanaka Community Hub is excited to announce that we will be holding our annual Wanaka Children’s Spectacular Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, 8 April, 10.00am - 12.00pm at The Hub (34 McDougall Street, Wanaka). This year’s event will be a koha entry with the proceeds going to KidsCan, supporting families affected by Cyclone Gabrielle.

We welcome all children even the very small as everybody leaves with the same amount of chocolate. There are different levels of challenge depending on your age and stage! Bring out your bunny ears and Easter fancy dress, but be

aware that there will be some messy arts and crafts to get involved in and the hunt itself is outdoors. We will have two start times; 10.00am and 11.00am. Make sure to give your preference when you register.

Numbers are limited. Please register by popping into The Hub, contacting us by phone: 03 443-2071 or email: info@wanakacommunityhub.org.nz

We are looking for volunteers to help on the day. This is a great opportunity for MAC Students looking for volunteer hours! If you would like to help out please get in touch.

CRIME LINE

// by your local WANAKA POLICE

Hello folks, here is a bit of a roundup of what has been happening this past fortnight. Intoxication and shoplifting abound.

A house on McDougall Street narrowly missed being hit by a car one morning after said car was clipped by another when they were pulling out of a drive. This is why it pays to look both ways a few times when coming onto a road and not rushing it. Like the cheese adverts say, good things take time. Another crash was attended after some rainfall so watch those conditions.

Police attended the fatal crash in Makarora that has been in the news already. Our thoughts are with the family at this time, and we thank those who helped on the night. There have been a few too many incidents of intoxicated patrons causing problems at the local watering holes about town. Antics cover a broad range of pushing and shoving, glass throwing, punches, street urination and even one punter who mistook an establishment for a gym and began doing pullups from a beam. Hats off to that gent for making gains a priority, but it’s a good indicator to us that there has been one too many had.

The proverbial Wanaka drink driver emerged with a breath result over 5 times the legal limit. Driver and passengers were all completely toasted. An accident waiting to happen so a good thing they were taken off the road. Shoplifting too makes a return with many being brought to our attention and snowing us under. A hard line is being taken on this and offenders will see the inside of a courtroom. I think the community has had a gutsful of it.

A few family harm incidents have kept us busy as well. The weekend warriors have noticed at night an influx in town of buses with people departing them who have most likely been at a wedding based off the way they are dressed. It has also been noticed that a large amount of the intoxication about town is from these people. Remember that if you are too far gone on the tipsy scale,

Take care everyone and have a great week.

If you would like us to include a birthday and give the gift of a free co ee phone 03 443 7805 or email hello@mymessenger.co.nz

anxiety & depression than those who don’t. If you would like to attend, please just come along and look for the table with the daffodils. There is no obligation or membership, just a group of lovely people having a yarn. If you have any questions, please contact MJ at 022 3430 416.

Wānaka New World Community Street Theatre Schedule

Saturday 1st April

Returning to the festival is the ever-popular Community Street Theatre Day during which the streets and parks of Wānaka’s CBD take centre stage for a series of free events, performances and exhibitions.

This year’s line-up includes a spectacular array of performances for the whole community to enjoy.

Bike in, walk in, boat in, and enjoy a day of performances from local and national artists celebrating the vibrancy the Festival brings to the community, all against the best imaginable backdrop!

Biggest Little Circus

This show includes everything from highly skilled juggling, aerial acrobatics and even a human changing room. You can’t miss their leotards and you don’t want to miss their one-of-a-kind finale. The Biggest Little Circus is a show full of audience interaction, a whole lot of kiwi charm and plenty of lycra.

As an international festival there are four key components we look for in programming work - quality, engagement, accessibility and innovation - they tick all the boxes! - Glen Pickering, World Buskers Festival Biggest.

Surface Tension

Following on from 2019’s Live:Stream in Bullock Creek and 2021’s Cross the Line at the Skatepark, Creative Director, Emma Vickers, and and Centralpoint Dance Studio Choreographers, Briony Martin and Nina Fischer bring you the third in the site-specific dance series, Surface Tension at the Wānaka Marina.

A large mixed-age group of Wānaka contemporary and ballet dancers illustrate the connection with, and sometimes tumultuous relationship of, air and water.

The dance piece explores how the mauri, the spiritual essence of these elements, themselves have a ‘dance’. The wind with a single change in direction can switch this elemental partnership of perfect stillness, tension and balance, to a sudden and seemingly orchestrated interruption, breaking the surface and whipping the water into a frenzy of waves and ripples.

We breathe the air and are made of water - we too are affected by these elements. We feel the mauri - the energy and lifeforce that connects us all.

- At Norm’s request a private cremation will been held, followed by a family service at a later date. Messages to 22 Ethereal Crescent, Pisa Moorings 9383

Monthly Market Update

with Bayleys Wānaka

Hello Wānaka!

And welcome to the first edition of the Bayleys Monthly Market Update. We know real estate is a hot topic in Wānaka so we wanted to provide a monthly update to let you know what’s happening in the market, share the latest statistics and fill you in on what our Bayleys Wānaka office has been up to.

February sales statistics have been released by REINZ with 19 homes sold in the Wānaka District and a median sale price of $1,350,000. The number of sales is just slightly lower than the 26 sales in both December 2022 and January 2023 and well below a year ago (37 sales in February 2022) and two years ago (62 sales in February 2021).

While there were 9 section sales in February with a median sale price of $700,000, it’s worth noting the majority of these sales were the titling of a subdivision that were sold off the plan quite some time ago. This compares to just 4 section sales in January 2023. November and December 2022 sale numbers were also affected by titles being issued for a Hawea subdivision.

We’ve noticed an increase in buyer enquiry in March in our office and the number of properties under contract has also increased this month to reflect this which is great to see! We’re seeing particular interest in lower price range properties at the moment, and it’s good to see a slight uplift in buyers interested in sections again. Section sales have been slow in recent months with buyers concerned about supply issues and build costs, but we’re starting to see interest in building again and it’s great to have a number of sections under contract and sold this month.

In terms of our Bayleys office, we’ve been kept busy bringing new properties to market but it was great to take a break to spend a few days at the Wānaka A&P show and see so many familiar faces drop by our tent to visit. Congratulations to Holly and Jeanette, our competition winners, and well done to the show organisers for yet another fantastic event for our region!

Some of our team attended the Bayleys Franchise Forum in February which included an auction evening to raise funds for those effected by Cyclone Gabrielle in the Hawkes Bay and Gisborne areas. There was over $160,000 raised to help those in need at this difficult time.

We hope you have a great month ahead and if you’re thinking of buying or selling, our team are happy to provide sales and statistics to help assist you with these important decisions. Visit bayleys.co.nz/wanaka to find our teams contact information.

Please note, statistics are provided from REINZ for the Wānaka Ward and include Albert Town, Lake

Hawea, Luggate and surrounds.
