Staff at a Richmond kindergarten are fed up with finding used condoms, drug utensils and damaged property when they arrive at work, saying they are reporting some sort of vandalism at least once a month. Henley Kindergarten staff contacted Waimea Weekly late last year after six months of vandalism saw someone set fire to the sandpit, spray graffiti all over the playground and break equipment. Since they made contact, the damage has been ongoing and teacher Sue Hone says they are over it. “It’s got the point where we come to work expecting to find broken bottles,” she says. “When they start damaging property and making it a dangerous place for children then it’s a problem. We’ve had graffiti and broken pot plants since we last spoke. It’s not on.” Because of rising insurance costs after a spate of school fires, the money to replace broken equipment has had to
come out of the fund previously used to pay for the children’s programme. “To replace a table was about $250 and that’s the same as the excess. The kids lose because we can’t buy new puzzles or books because we have to pay for this sort of stuff, or it never gets replaced. This is a place for small children, it’s not okay.” Teacher Denise Martin says the worst incident was a fire in the sandpit. “They could have burned the whole place down. But finding broken bottles all over the playground is pretty bad too because our children run out with bare feet. But no vandalism is ever okay, is it?” The kindergarten has had to up its security as a result of the vandalism but Nelson Police says “this is not a new issue” and that similar incidents are being reported right across the district particularly during the school holidays. “It is not just the kindergarten being targeted, although the kindergarten SEE PAGE 2

“It doesn’t affect me because I’ve got a vintage and that’s still six months.”
“It makes sense. I come from England where it’s a year anyway.”
“I believe it’s going to be a bad idea. Even things like wear and tear on tyres, three years is a long time.”
“I think it’s good because old cars are still going to get checked every six months and newer cars should be alright.”
Sarau Festival to go ahead FROM PAGE 1 orchards. “There will be entertainment throughout and that includes a bake-off, history tent and more than 100 market stalls,” she says. “We’ll have all of the usual favourites include a kids can cook caravan and there will be a new guest chef. There is lots of fantastic stuff.” Jenny admits the festival would be slightly different because there was no “base” facility. “It’s pretty significant but we have had some substantial cash sponsorship come in from NBS in particular as well as CRT and Tasman Crop to help us cover the additional costs for marquee tents and gen-
erators.” But she says turning up to the fair is the perfect way to show support to the Moutere community. “It’s a relaxed environment and hopefully people can come and still have a good time in the area. It’s a fun way to spend a late Sunday afternoon.” While Upper Moutere was not exactly the blackcurrant capital of New Zealand, the region’s climate makes for near perfect growing conditions and there is a high number of orchards in the area. The Sarau Festival begins at 3pm this Sunday and festival-goers are being encouraged to wear purple hats. Entry is five dollars per adult and children are free.
The sandpit at Henley Kindergarten was set on fire last year.
Kindy vandalism ongoing FROM PAGE 1 provides an ideal location for kids to hang out as it is not visible from any road, has forts and the like to hide in, is poorly lit and has no security,” says communications manager Barbara Dunn. Police have been involved with schools and the community for several years, offering crime prevention
advice such as improving lightning and installing security cameras and Barbara believed it was time for the community to “step up and do its bit.” “Parents need to take responsibility and be aware of where their children are and what they are doing. People who see or hear something suspicious need to call police immediately, not the next day.”

The first crematorium and chapel to be built locally in more than 70 years was officially unveiled by the Day family on Saturday, ending years of work that saw the project go before the environment court and be declined council consent prior to the build. The Hope Garden of Remembrance Crematorium is situated next to the Gardens of the World complex, also owned by Francis and Paddy Day, and offers a variety of services including a chapel, garden with water feature and a memorial room for quiet reflection. It is the third crematorium in the region with one situated in Wakapuaka and one in Motueka. With more than 80 years of funeral directing experience in the Nelson-Tasman region, Francis says the family will ensure the crematorium adheres to proper standards and codes enabling the deceased to be treated with dignity and respect. He says the crematorium was built taking into consideration the comments, suggestions and collective views from families and individuals,

When council consent was finally granted, the project was taken to the environment court by some concerned local residents in 2011. The residents argued that the crematorium would have a negative affect on the community’s rural amenity, emit pollution and increase traffic, lowering land values. However, the gas-fired crematorium was able to go ahead after the court dismissed their

Francis believes it was designed to the highest standards with complete consideration given to air discharge and pollution, with every available avenue pursued to keep a negative impact on the environment at an absolute minimum. There will be an open day for the public to tour through the crematorium between 10am3pm on Sunday February 3.

Will the WoF changes save dollars? Your next warrant of fitness check may be moved back by six months but don’t expect to save too much extra cash, with two local businesses admitting prices could rise to compensate for the changes. Associate Transport Minister Simon Bridges announced the Government’s decisions on the Vehicle Licensing Review over the weekend, which includes sixmonthly checks to become annual inspections for cars registered after 2000 and new cars will only require checks every three years after the initial inspection. He said the changes would benefit motorists by $159 million a year. At least $1.8 billion over 30 years would be saved in inspection, compliance, justice and enforcement costs. Barry Andrews of Richmond Vehicle Testing Station and Kerry Friend of Topline Automotive were both unsure of the im-

come as a charge. I haven’t had any notifications of any sort yet so it will be interesting.” Both Barry and Kerry had concerns over the safety of cars first registered after the year 2000, saying they can still bring problems and that three years is a long time. The New Zealand Transport Agency told the New Zealand Herald that police would receive more funding in addition to the current $300 million it gets to cover road policing but would not reveal how much the increase is. NZTA chief executive Geoff Dangerfield said the extra funding would cover more roadside checks of things such as brakes, lights and tyres. But it is understood police are likely to “green sticker” cars that appear not to meet safety standards instead of doing the checks themselves. Meaning car owners would have to get a new warrant even if their’s is current.

Residents are keen to buy village Andrew Board With a court case looming and another proposed increase on the horizon, a buyout of Waimea Village is shoring up as the best option for the two warring parties involved in the ugly levy increase saga at the village. Since 2010, the lease levies for each of the 172 residents at Waimea Village have risen from $80 per month to $182.76 and owners Michael and Carolyn Wright have indicated another increase will be proposed by them in the coming weeks. Residents at the village own their own homes and pay normal council rates. The levies are for management services including removal of green waste and repairs and maintenance of the village, something the residents argue has not been done. Last week Waimea Weekly first reported the idea of the residents buying the Wrights out of the village. At a special residents meeting on Sunday, that was the option that residents’ preferred, with many saying they were sick of the Wrights and were refusing to pay the latest increase ordered by an arbitrator last year. Michael Tasman District Councillor Kit Maling Wright. told the residents a cost analysis would need to be done but if each of the 172 residents bought a share in the village and an independent board managed it, costs could be kept down. He was sending a letter to each resident today for their thoughts on the idea. Michael Wright says a buyout option was presented to the residents committee on Wednesday and he would welcome the opportunity to sell it to them. Residents committee chairman Jerry Rowland says he sees the buyout of the village as the only long-term option. “It’s the only solution. Under the current owners this [levy increase] situation will not change so we need to be the masters of our own destiny.” The proposal is long term though and residents are still pushing ahead with court action against the Wrights as they believe money paid to them for the repairs and replacement fund hasn’t gone to the fund, which they believe should have around $110,000 in it. Michael disputes that and says a separate account, as ordered by the arbitrator, was founded last November; but he could not offer any proof or amount that existed.

The story behind unusual street names There is a story behind every street name in the Tasman District, although some of those are more unusual than others, with one developer naming a Motueka road after his favourite Beatles song “Penny Lane”.
But while Penny Lane was never actually formed, others such as Forget-Me-Not Lane and Tic Toc Rd were given the green light, completed and are still in place today. According to Tasman District Council’s asset information officer Lindsay Skinner, there are rules around naming a street. A shortlist of three naming options is given to the council by the street’s developer before the final decision is confirmed by council. Names are not now allowed All selected and serviced from Toyota NZ with to be hyphenated – which means a minimum 12 month power train warranty. names like Forget-Me-Not Lane would not get through nor are they 2007 TOYOTA BLADE allowed to be named after a living 2.4 Auto 5 Door person, unless that person has made Low Kms, 9 Air Bags, ABS, significant contribution to the comTraction and Stability Control, munity.

we can’t have names sounding similar to other names so people don’t get confused when they’re in a panic station. A good example of that is two that are already in place and just kilometres apart - Redwood Rd and Redwood Valley Rd. “That wouldn’t be allowed now and is a throw-back to the old Waimea County Council, Richmond and Motueka Borough Councils. Another that wouldn’t be allowed under present rules is Edward St in Richmond, Edward St in Wakefield and Edwards Rd in Lower Moutere.” Lindsay says his two favourite names are Brightwater’s Sixpenny Lane and Threepenny Place, which are named after the night and day rates the ferry across the Wairoa River charged before the bridge was in place. “Those two certainly come off the head straight away.” Tic Toc Rd, which is a private road in Rabbit Island near the equestrian park, was named after the sound of horses hooves make when walking on it and was probably decided by a forestry company; although this was decided well before the formation of the present Tasman District Council, says Lindsay. The latest naming is Melfield Place where all the connecting streets in the development are named after apples.

Caravan gets stuck at liquor store An Auckland driver got a caravan stuck under a roof in the Super Liquor car park for nearly an hour on Saturday after he attempted to drive under it in the large rental. Shannon Pascoe, a worker at the Richmond bottle store, says staff heard a loud bang and when they went outside to investigate, they saw the large caravan wedged under the roof, which is approximately 2.6m high. “He was going really fast,” says Shannon. Shannon says customers were quick to help the distressed driver, who had only just picked up the Kea rental. Air was

Sinead Ogilvie Around 270 people jumped on their bikes on Saturday to celebrate the opening of a purpose built cycle bridge and the Nelson to Mapua cycle trail. The blessing of the $250,000 suspension bridge over the Waimea River was the final piece to the Coastal Route and stage one of the Nelson Tasman Great Taste Cycle Trail. Tasman District mayor Richard Kempthorne says he was extremely happy to see the coastal route completed and that the cycle trail “was and is a real partnership between the council and the cycleways trust.” Heart of Biking executive officer Fiona Newey says she was happy that so many people chose to come to the opening of the trail and make a bit of noise about it. “It’s absolutely great to see it finished and to see the number of people using the trail.” The bridge, constructed by Kitsons, was blessed by Kaumatua Andy Joseph before being officially opened to the public. Malcolm Saunders, previous chairman of the Tasman Wheelers cycle club praised the efforts of both the TDC and the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust for completing the first stage of the trail saying it was a “tremendous achievement for everybody.” Fiona says the opening of a Mapua to Lower Moutere route in July will see the Nelson to Kaiteriteri loop completed.
removed from the tyres and the shop forklift was brought in to raise the roof, which was still noticeably damaged on Monday afternoon. Shannon says the man was on the phone to the insurance company soon after the incident. Having forgotten about getting his drinks, the staff at Super Liquor shouted the man a bottle of wine once the caravan had been reversed back out of the roof. Another staff member from Super Liquor says it is not the first time this has happened, after a milk truck hit the roof on a previous occasion.

City may host World Cup

Nelson’s bid to host games in the 2015 under 20 football world cup is largely dependent on how many cities organisers hand matches to. Nelson was one of nine cities visited by FIFA – the governing body for football – over the past ten days and its top delegate says the decision on whether six, seven or eight regions will host games has yet to be made. “We must have a minimum of six and up to eight but we haven’t made that decision yet,” Rhiannon Martin told Waimea Weekly while in town last Wednesday. Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio, a huge supporter of the bid, says if only six cities are selected it shortens Nelson’s odds considerably. “It does make it harder
but hopefully we get seven or eight venues and we are one of them,” he says. Rhiannon says it is FIFA’s desire to spread the games out as much as possible but facilities had to be up to scratch. Looking around Trafalgar Park during her visit with seven other FIFA officials, she said the stadium would need some work. “But we saw from your hosting of Rugby World Cup that it can be achieved, so we’ll see.” She says she would like the world cup – the second largest FIFA competition in the world – to leave a legacy wherever it goes and she suggested if it was the catalyst for another upgrade that would be a good thing.

Baden’s forgotten treasures Phillip Rollo It started off with a plough for the garden and somehow ended with ten vintage tractors in the garage. That is the brief way to describe Baden Biggs’ vintage machinery collection. The Brightwater man will be showcasing some of his collection at this weekend’s Nelson Vintage Engine and Machinery Club’s Yesteryear Show which is themed ‘forgotten treasures.’ Baden explains that his definition of a forgotten treasure is bringing something back to life and his best example is his beloved 1950 David Brown Cropmaster tractor. “A heck of a lot were going to scrap. This was thirty years ago but they thought if things stayed that way, none of them were going to be left.” Baden drove that exact David Brown tractor on the family farm in Tapawera growing up, but when it was sold off he made it his mission to track it back down again. Four years later and a club member ran up to him with some numbers written down on a piece of cardboard. “I couldn’t find the damn thing anywhere. I had the serial number but that was it. He was a helluva good fella but he always used to have me on so when he came and said ‘do these numbers mean anything to you?’ I said yeah that’s the serial and engine number of the old tractor. It had been laying in the paddock behind his house for a long time.” Baden says his tractor search stemmed from his garden plough. Living in Vanguard St with his wife Marian, the self confessed “rural” couple wanted something for the garden. But because the handle was broken on the first one, which they still have today, Baden advertised on the ra-
dio version of the Buy, Sell and Swap. Now with three vintage ploughs, Baden and the NVEM Club went along to the Waimea Plains where they used to plough the paddocks before they were grapes. Always needing to borrow someone elses tractor to pull the ploughs, Marian made the suggestion to get “a little tractor of our own.” But like the ploughs, Baden didn’t just stop at one and he now has a whole garage full of them. “It just went from there. I now have ten. When we got to six I thought that’s enough but it’s going to stop at ten.” Different members from the club spoke to Baden about finding old Allis Chalmers tractors in paddocks around the region and most of the time he ended up buying them. The condition of the tractors, which date back to 1938, is usually pretty poor when he buys them. “Oh but some of them weren’t too bad. Some of them weren’t too good either though. But part of the fun is the restoration process, which can take about two years to complete.” All of the tractors are still road legal and, with an up-to-date registration, Baden says he and Marian often take rides on the David Brown Cropmaster. “They’re pretty fast these. I haven’t been too far on it but the missus and I go for rides occasionally. Some of them call the left one the love seat.” The Yesteryear Show will be held at the Higgins Park steam museum in Pigeon Valley, Wakefield this weekend. The event is targeted at both vintage machinery fanatics and families with plenty of fun activities available to children. The event begins at 9am on both Saturday and Sunday. The entry fee will be five dollars for adults and children are free. For more information contact Allan Palmer on 027 3197 427.

Horticulture show held in Brightwater
Brightwater Horticultural Society spokesperson Cliff Chapman shows off some of the winning flowers from its annual summer show. Photo: Phillip Rollo.
The Brightwater Horticultural Society held its annual summer flower show on the weekend with the top dahlias and gladiolus being the focus of the event. Club spokesperson Cliff Chapman says a lot more care goes into competitive flower shows. “A lot of people will grow hundreds of plants just to put one in the nationals,” he says. The first day winner of the show came from Mark Papps while Lorna Kerr had the second day winner. But Cliff says flowers are always personal preference so they key is
finding something that the judges will like. “It all depends on the judge. It’s not what you like.” Cliff had 40 flowers on display at the show, which is just a fraction of the hundreds he has growing at home. Cliff, who spends four hours a day, seven days a week, in the garden, was in a different position to other entrants in the show because he grows his flowers to put them on sale, which means they don’t need to peak for competitions. A national dahlia flower show is going to be held in Nelson next year.

Thrilling finale to skatepark tour
The Tasman Skatepark Tour concluded in spectacular style, with a full assortment of riders on show at the Richmond finale. While overall winners Jake King (skate), Mita Timpson (scooter) and Tom Bassett-Eason (BMX) had already confirmed their placings after the Neale Park leg in Nelson on Friday night, the Richmond comp proved to be the biggest yet again with a large crowd and huge participation numbers. Organiser Paul McConachie of the Tasman District Council says the 2013 addition was the most successful with two new venues being added to the now-eight competition tour. “From both a spectators and performers point of view it reached out to such a diverse cross section of people,” he says. “At the Motueka competition we had grandparents coming down and people with
no affiliation with the tour, just because they wanted to see what was happening.” Paul highlighted the Wakefield competition as one of the most successful, which was a new venue for 2013. Because there is no skatepark in Wakefield, a mobile park from Cheapskates was brought in. “It was so rewarding taking to a spot that is deprived of this sort of stuff at this stage.” Jake, who won every single skate competition other than the Neale Park one, believed consistency was key to success. “I think going to all of them helped. I also entered on the bike just for fun,” says the Nelson College student. “I think I’ve improved a lot. I just put it down to trying new tricks and getting out there.” For their efforts, Jake, Mita and Tom were given a skateboard, scooter or bike thanks to tour sponsors Cheapskates and Village Cycles.

Croquet club to host international test Nelson croquet is preparing for the biggest month in its history. Next week the top players from New Zealand and Australia will compete in a transTasman test match at the Nelson Hinemoa Croquet Club at Rutherford Park and just two weeks after that it will host the national golf croquet championships. Club president Annie Henry says it is an
exciting time for the sport in the region and spectators are welcome to come along and watch the best in Australasia do battle. “We are very excited about it, this is a fabulous opportunity to watch how the top players play and enjoy their skill.” New Zealand has won seven of the nine previous test matches, which are held every two years in alternating countries.
Annie says it will be a close match but she is backing the home side. “I can’t say anything else,” she jokes. There are no local players in the four men and four women squad but Annie says it will be a great chance to show off the sport to Nelson folk and some of the 70-strong club will be on hand to explain the game for those that need to brush up on their
knowledge of the sport. Annie says there is a perception that the sport is for “grey-haired” people but that isn’t the case and there will be three teenagers competing across the two teams. Hosting the test match would not have been possible without the support of Nelson City Council, says Annie, and the lawns are in top shape.
Youth driver confirms shift into stockcar class Phillip Rollo Brad Neiman never expected to be named club champion on Saturday night – but that’s only because he didn’t know the championship was even on. The 16 year old youth ministock driver finished inside the top three in as many races, coming back from 16th on the starting grid in the final race to finish in second place, after winning heat one and finishing third in heat two. Brad says none of the drivers were even aware the meet doubled as the youth ministock club championship because if they did, the risk of contact increases. “I’m totally rapt eh. It’s given me a lot of confidence so hopefully I can go far from that,” he says. “I just aimed to make up the places in that first corner and then just drive consistently to the best I can.” Brad’s current car is for sale as he looks to make the transition into a stockcar. While he admits the size, speed and contact will be different, he doesn’t have to look far for inspiration when it comes to young drivers making the move into
a bigger car. Dale McKenzie finished second at the recent New Zealand Superstock Championship, despite being just 19 years old. Dale is dating Brad’s sister and he says the pair regularly talk about the speedway and that he is always getting tips. Brad’s father Dave took the new stockcar out for a spin on the weekend and will drive it for the rest of the season. Brad says his goals for next year’s race calendar will be to finish every race. He would also like to thank his sponsors Mobil Stoke Automotive and Affordable Signs and Graphics, while also putting in a mention to both of his parents. “Dad has put in so much of his own time to get my car out on the track. And I would like to thank nana and granddad for all of their support too.” If you are interested in buying Brad’s ministock, please contact him on 027 827 4008. Saturday night also saw the Accessman Tasman Thunder take out the Stockcar Suspension Development Cup with ease over the Greymouth Grizzlies. Adam Hall and Michael Paynter were first across the finish line.

your questions
Q: My partner and I have been living
from payday to payday. We have very little to show for our hard work. Our New Year’s resolution is to get our finances organized and save for a house. Where do we start? A: 1. Record what you are already spending. Look at 3 months of your bank statements and write down all that you have spent or saved in that time. 2. With this information:
Write up a weekly budget for your household (include yearly costs such as insurance, and car expenses) Record weekly debt repayment. Total all expenses and take this total away from your weekly income. Look at this budget and decide what you want to change in the future. Prioritise needs over wants (needs include power, rent/ mortgage, rates, water rates and food). Commit to follow your new plan.
3. Together, decide what you want in your life, and write up ideas of how you can achieve these goals. (One of your goals is to save for a house) 4. Before you start saving, pay off high interest debt. 5. As you save, ensure you keep a good credit rating. Also research mortgage rates and kiwisaver fund availability for a first house. It is never too late to start saving for your goals. I wish you well! Contact us for help with your New Year’s resolutions We offer free, confidential advice for everyone.

Waimea Village “Battle” Calling all residents, owners, their families and supporters who are opposed to the cruel and outrageous demands being made for huge unsustainable rent increases by the current owners Michael and Caroline Wright (current owners of Waimea Village (2005) Ltd.)

Richmond aim for Nike Cup The Richmond Athletic Under-15 football team is off to the perfect start during its Nike Cup qualifying campaign after beating Nelson Suburbs 2-0 at Saxton Field on Sunday. The side was scheduled to play FC Nelson last night and if the result was anything other than a loss, Richmond will qualify through to the southern conference as one of two Nelson entrants. The Manchester United Premier Cup, which is now known as the Nike Cup, started out as a regional tournament in 1993 and has grown into one of the largest junior football events of its kind. It is where some of the top Under-15 footballers come up against the best from around the world with more 9000 teams taking part from more than
40 different countries each year. Since Manchester United and Nike joined forces, the tournament has staged a world final in the United States, England and Hong Kong. In New Zealand there are two conferences, one in the South Island and one in the North Island. The victorious teams out of both conferences will square off, with the overall winner then moving into the Australian round to compete against six state teams to qualify for the world final. The Richmond Athletic team, which is sponsored by Toby Gaskin Builders, John Anthony Levenbach Lawyer and Mountain Valley Honey, is currently battling for a place in the southern conference, which is scheduled for February 2.

Tasman District Council Navigation Safety Bylaw Reservation of Kerr Bay Lake Rotoiti, 15 and 16 February 2013. The Maitahi Outrigger Canoe Club will be holding a regatta at Lake Rotoiti between 4.30 pm and 8.00 pm on Friday 15 February 2013 and between 8.00 am and 3.00 pm on Saturday 16 February 2013. Pursuant to powers provided to the Harbourmaster by the Tasman District Council Navigation Safety Bylaw, a speed-limit uplifting has been granted and most of Kerr Bay, including the water ski access lane, swimming area and those areas of water adjacent to the launching ramps and beach has been reserved for the event.

Other lake users are encouraged to use the ramp and beaches of West Bay for access during the event. Persons wishing to waterski should perform deep water starts outside of the reserved area while the reservation is in force. Powered vessel operators are also reminded to give way to waka ama and avoid causing unnecessary risk with vessel wakes outside of this area. Other conditions have been imposed and may be viewed at www.tasman.govt.nz /recreation/boating-fishing/special-events-and-activities.

(see notes below) Important Note The advertisement above has a number of factors that must be taken into account by people considering acquiring the offered water rights actually now called water permits. Notes supporting the advertisement above Once the Consent Holder successfully identifies a potential buyer of the allocation in this case various actions are required involving the Council. A transfer, including a part transfer, of a water permit authorising the taking and use of water is provided under Section 136(2) of the Resource Management Act 1991 (“the Act”) and requires notice in writing from both parties to be provided to the Council. In this case the current Consent Holder and the buyer must apply jointly for resource consent to transfer the allocation “site-to-site” to the new site which must be located in the Wai-iti Dam Service Zone (WDSZ) and there are a number of conditions attached to such a transfer. A transfer site-to-site (including a transfer for a limited period) in the WDSZ is provided for under Tasman Resource Management Plan (TRMP) Rule 31.1.7.1 as a Controlled Activity if: (a) Both the point of take to be transferred and the new point of take are within the WDSZ. (b) The sum of any new quantities authorised as a result of the transfer does not exceed the original amount authorised to be taken. (c) There is no more than 0.25 metre additional drawdown in groundwater level for any adjacent authorised groundwater take. This requirement need not apply provided the owner of any affected bore agrees in writing to some other drawdown effect. Note: Regarding (c), groundwater users are required to provide a pump test for their bore that demonstrates their bore is capable of yielding the allocated water. This testing and a report to Council is at the consent holder’s expense. If the transfer site-to-site is approved the new person’s property is tagged as a shareholder in the Wai-iti Community Water Augmentation Scheme (WCWAS). It is the development of this WCWAS that enables consideration and processing of transfers and new consents such as this in the Wai-iti Dam Service Zone. The application for a transfer site-to-site also has a set fee. In addition, all consent holders are invoiced under Section 36 of the Act annual charges relating to their water permit and the operation of the water meter database. New consent holders need to be aware of these ongoing costs relating to water permits. Finally, all WDSZ consents have a common expiry date of 31 May 2016 and will require renewal in February 2016. Applications are likely to involve a deposit of $500 with renewal unlikely to be problematic in this zone. Please contact Council staff if you have any questions.
NOTE: Even though there has been the recent fire at the Moutere Hills Community Centre, the Sarau Festival will still be held at the Moutere Hills Community Centre, Moutere Highway, Upper Moutere. Instead of being indoors, event facilities will be brought on site and the festival will run on the fields on Sunday 3 February 2013 at 3.00 pm.
