Clevedon CBA – September 2021 Update

Local Development Update Retirement Village provider, Metlifecare, has received Overseas Investment Office (OIO) approval to purchase 20ha of land in Clevedon Village to develop 130 independent villas and apartments and a 60-bed hospital. Their development proposal utilises land above the river terrace, adjacent to the village, with the floodplains retained for pastoral use or similar (the final use of the flood plains is to be confirmed). Earlier this year Metlifecare attended two Clevedon CCBA monthly committee meetings to share their proposal and invite feedback. Until OIO approval was achieved and the land purchase was completed, Metlifecare asked that these meetings be kept strictly confidential. Thanks to the work done via our Clevedon Conversations project since 2015, we were able to review their proposal against the Clevedon Village Design Framework and The Clevedon Way lookbook, both products of extensive community engagement. The Clevedon CCBA has strongly advocated to Metlifecare and the Auckland Council resource consent processing team for a number of items, including;

• Provision of a road (Wairoa Laneway) behind commercial landholdings on the main street, enabling rear service access and dual retail frontage, as required by the Auckland Unitary Plan (Clevedon Precinct),

• Celebration of Wilson Homestead, including restoration and maintenance of view shafts from ‘Community Heart’ area adjacent roundabout,

• Maintain / celebrate key view shafts

• Provision of architectural variety amongst villas, commitment to celebrate rural vernacular through architectural form

• Creation of walkways and bridle trails, as required by the Auckland Unitary Plan (Clevedon Precinct)

• Provision of a publicly accessible village green

Due to the density and land uses of its proposal, Metlifecare requires a resource consent, which it applied for in August. Metlifecare has requested that this resource consent be non-notified, which means no formal public consultation will be undertaken. This means that their consultation with the Clevedon CCBA has been at their discretion (i.e. not formally required). We have encouraged Metlifecare to engage directly with their adjacent neighbours on the main street to discuss how these landowners can make the most of the rear-laneway opportunity (service lane for deliveries, staff and customer car parking, dual retail frontage etc). Metlifecare is proposing to share their development plans at a public Open Day in Clevedon, once lockdown restrictions permit. If you are interested in attending, please keep an eye on our Clevedon NZ Facebook page for more details, or you can register your interest at clevedonretirement.co.nz Thank you to our paid members, whose support enables our ongoing advocacy work. If you would like to become a member of the Clevedon CBA for the 2021-2022 financial year, please contact Charlotte at [email protected] CCBA update continued on page 9 ..

Franklin Local Board’s August business meeting was held online in response to the COVID situation across the country, which curtailed the agenda to some degree. But that didn’t stop the board making a splash…or at least helping small country area schools make one. The board has a unique grants funding round – the Franklin School Swimming Pool Fund – which allows schools to open their pools to the public over summer in areas where distance makes popping to public pools for a quick dip impractical. A dozen schools across Franklin were all awarded $2000 towards operational expenses and things like pool maintenance, chemicals, and monitoring and testing, so that they can afford to open their pools to the wider community through summer. It’s one of Auckland Council’s more unusual funding mechanisms but we know it’s a valued one, especially in areas where public pools aren’t handy. We know visiting the local school pool on hot days also allows people to get together with friends and neighbours in an informal setting. Hunua, Mauku, Valley, Clevedon, Ararimu, Awhitu, Glenbrook, Alfriston, Beachlands, Waiau Pa, Te Hihi and Maraetai Beach schools all got the grant. Auckland Council is still going through the process to finalise a draft Freedom Camping Bylaw, but the board has supplied its feedback to the governing body. Ultimately the bylaw will set out areas where freedom camping in vehicles is prohibited or restricted in some way. Staff are proposing that any public land that is classified as a reserve under the Reserves Act be excluded as potential sites. The board feels that while that works for some reserves, such as along Coast Road Maraetai and Beachlands, and at areas around popular boat ramps, there are others in more remote areas that are suitable for responsible freedom camping. The board would like to see some of these sites tested with local communities that potentially benefit from the tourism spend that responsible camping can bring. Franklin and Rodney local boards have both advocated to the governing body for that suggestion in their feedback. Government legislation requires Council to finalise Freedom Camping bylaws in the coming months, and the rules it contains must align with those of the Freedom Camping Act. Communities will get to have their say before that though, once the Governing Body has approved the draft. Keep an eye out for the consultation on the Auckland Council website www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/have-your-say. Just like freedom camping, the responsibility for housing development rests with the Government. Auckland Council, and through the governing body the Franklin Local Board, have been involved in submissions to a discussion document called Government Policy Statement on Housing and Urban Development. As you can imagine, it is a very comprehensive document and one that Auckland Council has a huge interest in given the massive population growth in our city, and the pressure that is putting on the housing market. That’s true too of the council’s feedback on the Government’s Natural and Built Environment Act, which were also part of the board’s recent meeting. The submissions can be found on the Auckland Council agendas website at https://infocouncil.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/. You’ll also find minutes at that site, which is where the actual board resolutions can be found. Select the Franklin Local Board meeting for 24 August. Just a reminder that during level 4 lockdown, public toilets, playgrounds and skate parks are closed. If you see something that needs repairing or removing, phone 09 301 0101 or log it at www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz and request a logit reference.

Hope everyone is staying fit and well in their “bubbles”. We are so fortunate out here in our Clevedon community to have essentials close to hand and lots of open space to enjoy with Spring starting – not to mention hardly any traffic! ****************** Plan Change 45 – Countryside Living proposal for Clevedon - Kawakawa Bay Road No more news on when the decision is likely on this Private Plan change 45 (PPC45) for a portion of the land at 272-278 Kawakawa Bay Road to be re-zoned from Rural-Coastal (no or minimal subdivision allowed) to 10 Countryside Living lots (Clevedon Precinct C), leaving the remaining approximately 45ha as Rural Coastal. Since the Hearing in July Council has provided some more information in response to requests from the Commissioners. If you are short of things to read whilst you are in Lockdown (!) everything can be found on the Council website at: https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/our-plans-strategies/unitary-plan/auckland-unitary-plan-modifications/Pages/details.aspx?UnitaryPlanId=73 ********************** Metlifecare Many of you will have seen the announcement by Metlifecare for a proposed “retirement village” to be situated in the Clevedon Precint on the land between the shops and the Wairoa River. Clevedon Cares has not been involved directly with Metlifecare, but we are expecting to meet with them once we are able to under Covid restrictions. The Clevedon CBA has had discussions with Metlifecare and their piece in this edition of the Round Up has some more information. ********************* We meet monthly with our Local Board, Wairoa Division members (probably via Skype or Zoom this time), so let us know if there is anything you would like raised with them. We hear there is to be another phase of rural road speed restrictions to be proposed – watch out for information on how you can have input into this. We are monitoring the ongoing discussions between the residents of Mark Williams Place, Council, AT and the Wairoa Local board members seeking a resolution to the nonsensical “island” and “speed hump” at the intersection of MWP and North Road. *********************** Clevedon Cares is committed to preserving Clevedon and the environs as a unique rural settlement, not in a time warp, but by sympathetically blending the old and new.

News from Hunua

The Hunua Theatre Club regrets to advise our production of A Toe in the Water has had to been postponed. We can only hold the shows at level 1. Our cast are continuing to learn their lines in the hope we can bring you the production later in the year. As soon as we have some certainty, we will advise of the new dates. In the meantime tickets already purchased will transfer to the new dates and “iTicket” will be in touch at that time to confirm and advise how to change your bookings if required.

Clevedon Valley Music Foundation Trust Growing to Support Performing Artists Thank you to our wonderful supporters who came to the exciting choral spectacular concert, “The Circle of Life”. The afternoon was a great success in all ways. Congratulations to the recipients of the new CVMFT scholarships set up in collaboration with the South Auckland Performing Arts Competition Society! CVMFT has been very fortunate to recently receive some significant sponsorship from Margaret Williams and Lindsay & Fred Hellaby. The board is hugely grateful to both families for their vision and generosity. As a result, several sections at SAPACS Festival offered generous scholarships and awards to assist a number aspiring musicians from Franklin and surrounding districts. The winners are: The Alan Williams Senior Vocal Scholarship – Charlotte McDonald; The Alan Williams Instrumental Scholarship - Callum Neilson; The Lindsay & Fred Hellaby Junior Performing Artist Scholarship – Rupert Archer (for Voice and Violoncello); The Lindsay & Fred Hellaby Junior Vocal Scholarship – Liam Walker; (The Lindsay & Fred Hellaby Junior Instrumental Scholarship has not yet been awarded) All these exceptional young performers will appear in the final Sunday Serenade at St Andrew’s (watch out for our new sign) on Nov 7th: “Future-Proof”- Tomorrow’s Stars featuring top young performers. They will be joined by another CVMFT scholarship recipient, Luke Shackleton (baritone), and several marvellous instrumentalists: Emily Robinson - violin, Athena Shiu – trombone, Raelene Leong – Flute, Denise Quek – piano, and Daniel Xian – piano. The concert will be 1.30pm at St Andrew’s Clevedon, Koha donation (suggested between $5-10 – includes delicious light refreshments.)

Dear Constituents,

Covid-19 Delta Lockdown in Level 4 As we know, New Zealand was plunged into a Level 4 lockdown to contain the spread of the Covid-19 Delta strain last month. The lockdown was necessary to stop the spread of this dangerous Covid strain especially as New Zealand had a very slow vaccine rollout until then. The excellent response of all of you in observing the lockdown rules to control and eliminate the virus is something to be proud of. But we don’t want lockdowns to be repeated time after time so please get

vaccinated. Bring back the Epidemic Response Committee During the Level 4 Lockdown the National Party launched a Petition calling for the reinstatement of the Epidemic Response Committee. This was in response to the Prime Minister suspending Parliament in the

sitting week at the end of August, while New Zealand faced its worst outbreak of Covid-19 since April 2020. There were serious questions for the Government to answer about how this outbreak happened and why vulnerable communities, front line workers and essential workers had not been vaccinated, as promised, and why is the vaccination rollout so slow? In response to the National Opposition’s pressure, Parliament’s sittings have now resumed so the answers can be heard by all of us.

Demand the Debate on Homelessness National is continuing the Demand the Debate campaign, focussing on homelessness. Kiwis deserve the debate on the Labour Government’s decision to spend $1 million a day on motels to house the homeless that includes 4,000 children. Why is this not being spent on building social housing? Why is the government buying new houses on the private market in competition with first-home buyers? National is proposing an alternative solution to the housing shortage that will urgently address the country’s land supply problem and help councils fund the required infrastructure.

The Judith Collins’ Emergency Response (Urgent Measures) Member’s Bill will put in place emergency powers similar to those used to speed up house building in Canterbury following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. National is the party of home ownership. We are committed to sensible solutions that will get more New Zealanders into their own home without hitting them with more taxes. And we have the people, the will and the experience to make it happen. Best wishes,

Judith

Editorial written & supplied by:

With special thanks to The Corner Kitchen & Bar for hosting us, our AGM was a great success. The changes to the constitution were adopted to keep it current, and all committee members were re-elected. The room was packed in anticipation of the ‘jaw dropping’ talk on biological pest plant control by Kayla Rench. Kayla spoke

about the use of ‘natural enemy’ insects that interfere with pest plants as a way of reducing pest plant numbers by eating,

infecting or other inhibition of plant function. This is currently happening or under research for pest plants like tradescantia,

woolly nightshade, wild ginger, Japanese honeysuckle, Chinese privet and moth plant.

How to suggest a site for a biocontrol release

Contact [email protected] if you have a good spot in mind for biocontrol agents. Include: ▪ a description of the site

▪ an estimation of the size of the infestation

▪ a photo.

You will need to consider that biocontrol is a long-term management tool and not a quick fix. Once an agent is established it

can provide sustained control of a site for years to come.

Lockdown activities

Lockdown provides landowners with a chance to catch up on pest control by restocking bait stations and moving traps that

haven’t caught anything in a while. Knowing that we aren’t getting out so much, it may be worth setting traps further

towards property boundaries to get in that extra little bit of exercise and fresh air each day.

We can start to think about revegetation and riparian planting projects. Any collected seeds can be planted and cared for, or

perhaps home nursery infrastructure can be built ready for next season’s seed collection and planting.

We are starting to see the return of the wasps. It’s a great time to take a minute to become an approved user of Vespex wasp

bait. This can be done via a quick, easy online course. Registration is only a one-off cost of $66.70. If you require assistance

with meeting this cost, please contact [email protected].

Science Is Everywhere and For Everyone Editorial

The Science Roadshow will be found 'up, down, all around' Aotearoa New Zealand this year with a clear message: science is everywhere and for everyone. The Roadshow seeks to inspire and make hands-on science experiences accessible to students from all corners of the country by enlivening the Science curriculum. This year's focus on 'citizen science,' a practice that reinvigorates traditional scientific approaches, emphasises the vital role the individual has in making sense of the world around us. Mary Hurley, Manager of the Science Roadshow, says, "one of the key messages we try to convey with the Science Roadshow is how science forms the foundation for almost everything we do throughout our lives." "Not only do we want kids to walk away with a greater understanding of the role science plays, but we want them to feel empowered to participate when the time comes." "Simply put, we hope to encourage and support them to be curious but critical." Each year, the Roadshow strives to provide students, teachers and other visitors with new and exciting experiences with the opportunity for ongoing learning at home and in the classroom through the provision of extensive downloadable resources. A session with the Roadshow lasts eighty minutes and consists of two shows which introduce key scientific concepts with time in-between to explore more than 60 hands-on exhibits — from launching rockets and burning off the energy from a packet of fries, to learning how to support Manaaki Whenua in a nationwide bird count. Roadshow Director, Ian Kennedy, explains, "we want all students to have early opportunities to connect with science and technology." "Having a fun, hands-on programme that is supportive of student learning, extra resources for teachers and travelling into smaller and more isolated rural towns through to larger cities and various communities within reduces many of the barriers to science engagement." The National Science-Technology Roadshow Trust (a registered charity and owner of the Science Roadshow programme) receives some financial support from the Ministry of Education's contestable Learning Experiences Outside The Classroom project. Raising additional funds to fully support The Science Roadshow is the biggest challenge faced by the Trust. For further information or to find out when the Science Roadshow will be in your town, go to www.roadshow.org or contact: Maureen Jones ([email protected]) - The National Science-Technology Roadshow Trust - Tel: (04) 499 7865
