Upgrades for show jumping

New signs point to Richmond

Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz Richmond is “too easy to drive through” says the town’s promotions group Richmond Unlimited and it is hoping to change that by installing three welcome signs worth around $90,000.

The project for the new signs is spearheaded by Richmond Unlimited and it

is sinking $40,000 of its own money into the project, with Tasman District Council contributing $50,000. That is enough to get three signs erected before the end of the year, with another two planned for a later date.

Richmond Unlimited committee member Toni Lane says town signage is long overdue. “Richmond Unlimited is here to promote Richmond as a destination so we want people to come to Richmond and do their shopping, to benefit our retailers who

A graphic of a proposed design for the new Richmond signs. are our stakeholders. So, we are always keeping that in mind when we do any-

thing. The goal for this is to make sure that Richmond is clearly sign posted, possibly not so much for our locals but if people are coming to the area it is too easy to drive past Richmond.”

A meeting next week between the two groups should give a clearer picture of what the two metre by eight metre signs may look like, but they will fit with the overall image of the town centre upgrade, SEE PAGE 2

110 year old tractor gets a makeover

Bringing a steam tractor from 1901 back to life is no easy feat, as Appleby engineer David Walker has discovered.

Rusted and full of holes, the Clayton & Shuttleworth tractor was found sitting under a tree out in a Woodburn farm.

David, who is working on the project with Phil Amberger, is now hoping it will be one of the star attractions at the Nelson A&P Show later this year.

“She was laying around for awhile but now she’s full of water and ready for a test,” he says.

With a lot of the parts well past their use-by date and not even in existence anymore, David says he has been forced to remake a lot of them as it is too costly to import them from the UK. Self confessed as “passionate for steam”, David says the whole reason for the restoration project was “just to get another one going”.

“I think it’s fantastic for Nelson. It’s a promotional opportunity for the region. There will be people that come from outside Nelson.”

“I’m not a great cricket fan but I think it’s great for the region, bringing some visitors and money into the town.”

“It’s just marvellous. It’s going to do so much good for us and bring money from all directions. I’ll go have a look.”

“The atmosphere at the Rugby World Cup was just fantastic and I think this will be the same.”

New signs point to Richmond FROM PAGE 1 proposed by TDC, and include local photographs relevant to Richmond. “We should gain a much clearer picture of the design, and from there we will start getting some true costings. There are specific design

requirements and once we’ve got those sorted we can go out and get priced out, and start the actual signs,” says Toni.

The three signs that will be implemented first will be at Main Rd Hope, at the deviation coming into Richmond, and Appleby Highway, with another two

planned for Salisbury Rd and Lower Queen St. Toni says the project is one that RU had set their sights on for some time. “We approached the TDC and said look, this is what we want to do, Richmond needs some better signage. So they agreed to come on board.”

Two killed on our roads

Three horrific crashes on our roads in the past two weeks have police urging drivers to take caution.

One person was killed following a crash on the Coastal Highway near Mapua on Friday, with the other two people in-

volved taken to hospital. The crash involved a car with two occupants and a motorcycle.

The night before, there was a collision on Two Rivers Highway near Murchison involving a campervan and a light truck.

Eight people were involved in the accident and some sustained serious injuries.

The week before, on July 27, David John Cross, 74, was killed when his car crashed on State Highway 6 near Glenhope. He was the only person in the car.

Weekly reporter scores national awards Waimea Weekly journalist Phillip Rollo has won two national awards for his work.

The 21 year old earned the praise of judges at the annual New Zealand Football Media Association Awards and was judged the Regional-Community Writer of the Year and Best Single Image in the photographer of the year section.

Phillip, who began working at the Nelson Weekly and Waimea Weekly newspapers after leaving Nayland College, says the awards are a huge honour. “I’m pretty pleased and excited. I love covering football and it’s great to have national judges praise your work.”

Weekly publisher Steve Page says Phillip deserves the recognition. “Phillip has been with us straight out of school and his passion has been there the whole time. We saw something special in him early on and it’s great to see him recognised in this way. As newspapers we’re enjoying great success in the market, taking on more staff and now our staff are winning national awards, it’s all good news for our newspapers.”

Judge Bob Pearce said Phillip’s writing

entry was strong and covered a good range of topics. “He writes in a shorter format that demands a skill of its own.”

The image that won the best single photo was of the Westlake Boys’ High players celebrating after the national schoolboy championships in Nelson last year. “This

leapt out from all the images submitted it was immediately engaging and a cool moment. The combination of jubilation, dejection in the background and the sprinkling of rain work together to make this photo an emotional sports moment,” said the judges.

Councils to merge... sort of The possibility of councillors in Tasman and Nelson sitting around the same governance table is becoming more likely, but not in the way amalgamation supporters would have thought.

The mayors of the two councils – Richard Kempthorne and Aldo Miccio – have been discussing the best way to govern shared services like Bells Island, Port Nelson and Saxton Field with the council’s CEOs. Those talks took a major step forward yesterday when both councils meet to discuss working closer together.

Currently, the statements of intent of

Port Nelson and Nelson Airport need to be signed off by both councils before being delivered to the boards. Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio says the process is time consuming for staff and councillors and he’d like to see all the councillors around the same table debating each other. “You could have [Nelson] councillor [Pete] Rainey debating [Tasman] councillor [Judene] Edgar. We could work on the statement of intent together instead of going backwards and forwards between each other. It’s a big step forward.”

Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne says

Both men said staff could also work closer in areas such as IT, roading and admin and it will mean a slicker, cheaper service for both councils.

Richard says it’s too early to discuss details but he was looking forward to yesterday’s meeting. “I’m expecting a good general and genuine discussion and work out the principles of how we do work together because the simple reality is some things will be worth it and some things won’t but where we need to work together we need to discuss it. I think it’s exactly what we should be doing.”

Network Tasman clock is currently undergoing repairs at Walker Engineering. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

The Network Tasman clock has been found outside an engineer’s workshop in Appleby.

While the clock wasn’t actually missing, Waimea Weekly has fielded a number of calls since it was taken down from the Network Tasman-owned building on Queen St for repairs.

Water damage had caused the clock to tell incorrect times throughout the day, which is why it was brought down and sent to Walker Engineering on Main Rd Appleby.

The decision to take the clock down also coincides with earthquake strengthening work being done to the rest of the building.

The clock will go back up once that is complete.

Practice rules set out the standard of conduct and client care that agents, branch managers and salespersons (collectively referred to as licensees) are required to meet when carrying out real estate agency work and dealing with clients.

For example, agents must provide you with a written appraisal that realistically

Jon Parkes is heading off to Australia to take part in the Postie Bike Challenge.

Racing rev ready for ride

Richmond minister Jon Parkes is swapping his motorcycle for a postie bike – but only for 10 days.

Jon and his sister are heading off to Hobart to take part in the Postie Bike Challenge where they will ride alongside 50 others all the way to Alice Springs. While riders go at their own pace during the 10 day trip, they will cover close to 4000km. “Hobart to Alice sounds like a good ride with some varied sort of conditions. There’s about 350km we cover each day,” he says.

The maximum speed on his “postie bike”, which is a Honda CT110, is only 70km/h while on the rougher roads they will be restricted to just 40km/h. “It’s not a cafe tour, it’s a challenge.”

Sitting on a postie bike for ten days will leave Jon “shattered” but he says he was looking forward to checking out some of the more isolated areas of Australia. “If we can find a goat track over the top of a mountain then we’ll take it and if we can find a river to go through then we’ll take it.”

At the conclusion of the ride all of the postie bikes, which are bought by the participants in Australia, are then given to a local rotary group as a donation.

A sweet new apple cider has been launched this week and its makers believe they are onto a winner.

Harry’s Apple Cider, released by Craig Harrington and Steve Lummis, is made in Tasman using local apples grown by the Rush family.

At a time when cider is more popular than ever, Craig says it’s the perfect time to come into the market, especially in the lead up to summer. “I thought it’d be something good to start on and it’d keep me busy again,” says the former Harrington’s Beer Café owner. “There’s a growth in the market and we think it’s good time to be jumping in.”

With an end goal of being the biggest local seller of cider in Nelson, the pair are backing their sweet product, which is also gluten free. “We’re aiming for the Kiwi pallet which isn’t as acidic, it’s a bit sweeter and that’s where we see ourselves as being a bit different.”

The cider is currently on sale at Fresh Choice Richmond and its owner Gary Watson expects it to fly out the door. “The cider market is one of the fastest growing in the liquor industry and we’re keen on supporting the local cider makers. Cider

Saxton Stadium: Alec Louverdis used a curious phrase, when asked if flood waters could enter the stadium again. He reiterated that the flooding was a “one in 500 year event”. As he was not alive 500 years ago this country was in its natural state and no weather patterns were recorded, I doubt his statement to be accurate. In 2013 these rivers and creeks are contained, guided through narrow culverts, native bush has been replaced by pine forests, houses are built on concrete pads and large areas of flat land made unable to absorb water.

Walk along Orphanage Creek, silted up and full of rubbish, and it does not take much imagination to expect another flood.

A ban on sugary drinks for TDC events: Is this a double standard? The council already regulates people on fencing their pools. Isn’t it our personal responsibility to protect our kids from drowning too? What’s the difference? And anyway, how hard is it for council to say they won’t support the sale of high sugar drinks? Does council already sell sugary drinks? I don’t think so? How is removing vending machines that sell sugary drinks from council venues or properties, affect peoples choices? People can still choose to get such a drink. Just not from a council venue? Lou (via website).

Then they’d have to ban alcohol from their events also... they are essentially ‘sugary’ drinks. Paula Cunniffe.

All of this talk of bans is stupid. If a council thinks it is important to promote non-sugary drinks to promote health then just make a policy with a preference for non-sugary drinks at events. If some organising group wants sugary drinks then they can seek out private funding for it. If some council related group wants to bring sugary drinks to an event with their own funds, let them. Just don’t support it with the council, and by extension ratepayers, funds.

Just a thought...

So I’m going on the Postie Bike Challenge – riding a postie bike from Hobart to Alice Springs. I’d like to draw some parallels between being a follower of Jesus Christ and going on the challenge.

First up, it is a challenge. I’ve been warned that at the end of each day we will be tired and knocked about as we travel on rough roads with potholes hidden by bull dust.

Well, following Jesus Christ is also a challenge, he is different, no one else is like him and following him demands a gutsy response.

Jesus said things like “when someone slaps your right cheek, turn and let that person slap your other cheek, if someone sues you for your shirt, give up your coat as well, if someone forces you to carry their bag 2km, carry it 4km for them, love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you, and when you do good deeds, don’t show off.

When you give to the poor, don’t let anyone know about it, when you pray, again, don’t show off and by the way, do not worry!”

Another parallel between the Postie Bike Challenge and following Jesus Christ is the issue of deciding whether to take up the challenge.

Originally I heard of the bike challenge, then over a few years read blogs, watched clips on YouTube, talked to people about it, then

made contact and asked questions and found out the cost. Then, once I knew the facts, I made the decision. Likewise with following Jesus, no one today has an excuse saying there isn’t enough information. Read books, read blogs, watch YouTube clips, talk to people who follow him and visit a church – the churches in our region are very good. Make an informed decision, not an emotional one, because on the hard days when the potholes are bad, emotions won’t help.

The Postie Bike Challenge does have a destination but it’s really about the journey, the ride, enjoying each day and enjoying the company of other riders. Likewise, in being a follower of Jesus Christ, it is about the journey. It is about walking daily with God, talking with God, having a good friendship with God. Jesus said it’s about “loving God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence....and loving others as well as you love yourself.” It is about the daily journey so much so we end up like the song writer who said in Psalm 16, even though they were going to die soon, because of their daily close friendship with God, they would never go down to the ghost world but would remain in God’s presence forever.

- Jon Parkes, St. David’s Presbyterian Church.

Celebrating 75 years in business.

It’s a double whammy milestone for the team at MS Ford Nelson, who are not only celebrating the 150th birthday of Henry Ford, the legendary man behind the iconic car brand, but who have also reached a special anniversary of their own, making them one of the longest serving Ford dealerships in the country.

MS Ford Nelson is turning 75, and to mark the incredible feat the team is taking a look back on just how far they’ve come. What started as a small company originating from humble beginnings has since flourished into the well-known business it is today, one that is well and truly part of the fabric of our community.

It’s been a short 75 years and in that time thousands of local motorists have turned the keys to their first Ford, second Ford, new Ford and the everything in between Ford, all at the expert hands of MS Ford Nelson.

During a time when the Ford Model A was at the peak of its popularity, with more than 15 million already lining the streets worldwide, MS Motors Ltd was established in Nelson.

Just two years after Ford officially entered the New Zealand market after taking the rest of the world by storm, Dick Stevenson and Bob McKegg kick started their business by taking over an existing car dealership in the heart of Nelson’s CBD. To begin, their premises had a single workshop, a petrol station and a showroom with space for just one car, but even at

Bernie Stevenson, the son of one of MS Motors founders, and MS Ford Dealer Principal Alan Kirby hold a congratulatory plaque celebrating their long service.

Proudly Supporting MS Ford

that time Ford was looked to as the premium name in automobiles, and the business grew from strength to strength, quickly becoming a one stop shop for all things auto.

Things went into overdrive and soon MS Motors was expanding to include not only cars, but accessories, repairs, maintenance and services too, with Bob and Dick responding to the huge demand for Ford in the Nelson Tasman region.

People not only wanted a Ford because the brand was at the forefront of car manufacturing worldwide, but they wanted to be a part of everything the name represented, high quality, innovation and a worldwide reputation for excellence.

As Henry Ford once famously said “You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do” so MS Motors set about thriving in the local market as a multifaceted hub for all things Ford.

The business had well and truly taken off by the time Bob McKegg bowed out of the business, leaving three generations of Stevenson’s to take over the reins. By the time Bernie Stevenson followed in his father’s footsteps, the business was in full swing. During that time MS Motors employed up to 60 staff including apprentices, to run a paint and panel shop, a repairs and maintenance workshop, servicing, tyres, two petrol sta

He says a well established reputation has stuck by MS Ford, and like the days of yesteryear, the current teams focus on superior customer service has seen them remain an industry leader.

While you won’t find the Anglia, Mk II Escort or the Zephyr in the showroom anymore, you will find a redeveloped version of the stalwart Falcon, alongside many other parts of history that still live on despite the many years that have passed since the business first opened its doors.

“It’s quite amazing to look back and see that the same values that drove the business to success back in the thirties, are still ringing true today. Businesses of this age are hard to come by these days, and we are incredibly proud at just how long MS Ford has stood the test of time.

While MS Ford no longer offers paint work, and have moved away from the agricultural machinery side of things, the servicing, parts and repairs side of the business are stronger than ever. The team still run three petrol stations and pride themselves on being able to look after a wide range of customers, now offering a model of vehicle to suit every occupation and interest, supplying people looking for high quality, power and performance in

Celebrating 75 years in business. their car. They’ve done their fair share of mileage, but MS Ford haven’t forgotten where they started, or their goal of supplying Nelsonians with world class, award winning vehicles that continue to set the bar.

“We are all Ford die-hards at heart and know that our customers love Ford too. We are as committed to our customers as they are to us, and that’s why we will always strive to be the driving force behind Nelson’s new car market.”

While MS Ford may have 75 years on the clock, a lot of that time is not only down to their dedication to the Nelson public but vice versa says Alan.

“The loyal community has seen the business stand the test of time and for that reason we strive to offer the full experience. We take the time, the care and offer expert advice when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. We see the experience as a journey that each customer should enjoy. I think that’s why we see so many repeat customers.”

Their long standing presence in the community has seen MS Ford give back to community projects that they strongly believe in. They have committed to long term sponsorship of the Nelson Regional Breast Cancer Trust, supporting them in their fundraising efforts at events such as MS Ford’s Pink is Infashion. Alan says they will always be the first to put their hand up to support such events simply because they “want to give back to the community in every way we can.”

To celebrate their birthday, MS Ford would like to say a huge thank you to the community and invite the public to head down and celebrate with them this week. Check out the best range of Ford vehicles in the top of the south and experience for yourself why MS Ford Nelson have become such long serving pillars of our community. www.msford.co.nz • 157 Haven Rd, Nelson • Ph: 548 9189

Old foes steal the show Wakefield were handed a football lesson by former division two rivals Nelson Suburbs Seals in the second round of the Tasman Trophy, going down 4-0 at a blustery Saxton Oval.

Having missed out on a spot in the Top of the South competition – which pits Nelson’s top division one sides against Blenheim’s division one sides – Wakefield was targeting the Tasman Trophy as a realistic chance of winning some silverware.

But the Seals, who qualified through to the Tasman Trophy as one of four division two teams, had other ideas, scoring

Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

two goals in each half to seal the 4-0 win.

Wakefield player-manager Richard Malcolm knew his side was coming up against a tough team, having played the Seals regularly over the years back in division two, but he admits they were simply played off the park on Saturday.

“We knew we were going to have to match them physically but we just didn’t. All-in-all it was a pretty disappointing day really,”

says Richard. “We knew we were facing a team that’d be physical but it wasn’t just that; they completely outplayed us, they passed the ball well, they had more energy, more unity and we just weren’t up for it.”

The Tasman Trophy is a straight six team round robin with no playoffs.

The win means the Seals are the only team to have maximum points after two rounds so far while Wakefield sit in third place on three points, one behind Motueka.

Wakefield face Motueka at home this Saturday. Kick off is at 3pm.

A PRETTY BIG DEA TURNING 5 IS L

Wanderers Titans wing defence Amy Fisk tries to intercept a pass from Nayland College’s Tegan Ropapere. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Titans defeated by college girls Newly promoted Taylors Wanderers Titans made a sterling start in their Grade 2 game against Nayland College A on Saturday. Titans played nice lines with centre, Natasha Crawford the pivotal link through court, she fed her shooters intelligently to be up 5–4 at the first break.

However, Titans supremacy was short lived when early in the second period Natasha left the court with a knee injury. Titans had their backs against the wall as they did not have a replacement. Personnel were shuffled with goal attack, Marie James taking up the C bib and Amy Fisk vacating the WD to don the GA bib.

Titans lost a little of their momentum and the college girls took their opportunities to take the lead 9–7, and went on to dominate the third quarter 7–1.

To their credit Titans dug deep in the final quarter to outscore Nayland 5–2 to bring the final score to 13–18.

Carol Cook

Netball Reporter editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz Titans changed their attacking lineup throughout the game with Marie James and Amy Fisk trying their hand at centre which was a tough ask against the fitter college girls.

Goal defence, Toni Baigent was quiet on turnovers however she had a steady performance while goal keep, Donna James kept Titans in the game. She hunted the ball to pull in three well timed intercepts, while superior body position enabled her gain valuable rebounds.

Nayland’s standout was Holly Chandler who had a number of deflections against her name. Phil Matenga put in a solid performance at wing defence before moving to centre. She applied the pressure on the outside of the circle which enabled Sara and Holly to pick up the tip ball.

Waimea Old Boys Women’s invitational 2013 www.wobrfc.co.nz

By Julia Law Off the back of a successful season, winning the Tasman Women’s Club Rugby Championship title for a fifth consecutive time, the Waimea Old Boys senior women’s team decided that regardless of their being no representative rugby opportunities in Tasman, they wouldn’t al-

low their season to be over just yet. Driven by their passion and commitment to the game and led by coaches Steve Curtis and Kane Hart, the team has sought out their own rep level game for any players keen to join.

Reduce condensation and save energy with Double Glazing

Fundraiser to help with park upgrades The Rough Island Equestrian Park Trust is hoping a fundraising quiz can help with maintenance and upgrade costs at the popular facility.

Opened in 1994, the park has given horse riders involved within the equestrian fraternity a prime location to compete in multiple disciplines, as well as a safe spot for others to roam.

Max Clark, who is chair of the park’s trust, says the park is as popular as ever, but admits it is costly to maintain. “It’s a very well used

facility every day of the week. But we need to upgrade it because it’s being used so much.”

The trust is hoping to gather funds to upgrade the show jumping arena and the cross country course.

“We enjoy the council support in maintaining it but the improvements are left to us.”

For tickets and more information on the quiz night, which is being held at the Marist Rugby Club this Friday, contact Sharon Higgins on 027 547 2257.

A missed conversion right on full time has handed Super Liquor Waimea Old Boys an important 23-21 victory over fourth place Nelson.

Nelson showed up from the start and came away with two penalty’s to move six points clear of a lack-lustre Waimea team, who struggled in the early stages.

Waimea managed to work their way into the game in the second 20, however, with two John Higgins penalties bringing the score to 6-6 at half time.

Nelson again showed more urgency in the next spell with a converted try a penalty to move 10 points clear.

But showing a resolve that has been apparent in the second half of the season Waimea rolled up their sleeves and forced

their way back into the game with some positive phase play allowing the backs to sweep on to attack from deep in their own half.

Waimea’s dominance was rewarded in two converted tries, one to John and one two midfielder Luke Thelin.

A third penalty shortly after gave Waimea a seven point buffer going into the final stages, although Nelson wasn’t done with and pounded Waimea’s line for the last five minutes.

With time up on the clock Nelson finally broke a tenacious defensive line to score from four consecutive tap penalties, leaving the last act of the game to Nelson’s kicker who pushed it wide.

Waimea heads to Brightwater to take on old foe Wanderers this Saturday to finish the round robin.

Roadside Spraying

Notice of intention to grant a lease to part of the Brightwater Recreation Reserve

Contractors employed by New Zealand Transport Agency undertake an ongoing vegetation control programme to ensure that roadside vegetation does not affect the safety or operation of the region’s state highway network. This programme includes the spraying of chemical herbicides including the following active ingredients: Glyphosate, Metsulfuron, Terbuthylazine and Triclopyr. Persons wishing to register their property as a ‘no-spray’ zone, which requires a commitment to maintain a property’s highways frontage to specifications provided by NZTA, may do so by contacting Lea O’Sullivan or Donna Hills on Ph. 03 548 1099 at Opus International Consultants, c/- Private Bag 36, Nelson.

Vegetation Control – Roadside Spraying in Rural Areas Registration of Non-Spray Areas Tasman District Council’s roading maintenance contractor is responsible for vegetation control within the road reserve. This includes the use of knock-down, residual and brushweed herbicides to remove vegetation growing in the roadway and around street furniture. The contractor is also responsible for control of pest plants and other noxious weeds such as gorse, fennel, hemlock, blackberry, broom, bracken, purple pampas grass and box thorn.

Residents can request that their rural property frontage not be chemically sprayed and instead undertake the vegetation control themselves. On approval Council will mark the no spray area with red marker pegs.

Rural residents who choose the “no spray” option must control the vegetation growth along their property frontage to ensure road users are not impeded and all roadside signs and markers are clearly visible. Vegetation height should not exceed 300mm. Any stormwater drainage ditches need to be kept clear of excess vegetation. At intersections vegetation must be kept well clear to ensure good sight lines for traffic using the intersection.

If you wish to apply for your property to be added to the “No Spray” list, please contact Robyn Scherer, Engineering Secretary, Tasman District Council, Ph. 03 543 8524 or Email robyn.scherer@tasman.govt.nz

Draft Tasman District Council Local Alcohol Policy The Tasman District Council has prepared a draft Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) with which it wishes to consult with the community. The object of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (the Act) is in brief focussed on reducing alcohol related harm. The Act allows councils to develop Local Alcohol Policies (LAPs) for their territorial areas.

The draft LAP

The Tasman District Council intends to grant a lease to part of the Brightwater Recreation Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977.

The lease area will cover the land/building formerly used by the Bowling Club, including the former greens. More recently it has been used by Tasman Volleyball Association. This land is situated at the southern end of the reserve, near the reserve entrance off Charlotte Lane, Brightwater.

It is intended to grant a five year lease to joint tenants, the Tasman Volleyball Association and Wanderers Sports Club.

The authorised use for the leased land/buildings will be for the existing volleyball administration use and existing Beach Volleyball use, plus the new activity of an indoor gymnasium to be used by members of the Wanderers Sports Club, utilising the former lounge.

Further information may be obtained by contacting Susan Mathieson, Ph. 543 8400, Email susan.mathieson@tasman.govt.nz Written submissions or objections should be sent to: Tasman District Council, Private Bag 4, Richmond, 7050 Submissions or objections will be received up to 4.00 pm on Friday 16 August 2013.

The full Statement of Proposal may be inspected during ordinary office hours at Council’s Office, Service Centres or Libraries.

A copy of the full Statement of Proposal may be viewed or copied from the Tasman District Council website at: www.tasman.govt.nz A summary made to fulfil the purposes of sections 83(1)(a) and 89 of the Local Government Act 2002 was published in the Nelson Mail on Wednesday 10 July 2013.

Amendment of the Tasman District Council Freedom Camping Bylaw 2011 & Draft Tasman District Council (Motueka and Pohara Foreshore) Freedom Camping Bylaw 2013 The Tasman District Council Freedom Camping Bylaw 2011 being Chapter 11 of the Tasman District Consolidated Bylaw has been in effect since 31 May 2011. It is proposed that the existing Bylaw remains generally in force, but three specific areas are removed from the control of that existing Bylaw, and brought under the control of the proposed Tasman District Council (Motueka and Pohara Foreshore) Freedom Camping Bylaw. The Tasman District Council Freedom Camping Bylaw 2011 is amended consequentially.

The three areas that are the subject of these changes are: i.

Port Motueka area, including the North Street reserve and Motueka Beach Reserve;

ii.

Pohara Foreshore;

iii. Ligar Bay.

Over 1000 native trees will be planted.

This event will take place at the southern end of Faulkner Bush, Wakefield entry, towards Hunt Terrace not the main gate.

Please park in the main reserve and follow signs to the planting area.

If wet this planting will be postponed until Saturday 17 August 2013.

Please wear clothing suitable for the weather conditions, including solid footwear, and bring a spade.

Come along and join in or just come and see what we are up to. A cup of tea and refreshments will be provided following the planting.
