Earthworks at former depot on Curtis Street
In late 2015, WCC passed a district plan change to create the Curtis Street Business Area at 55-85 Curtis St, allowing the site to be developed for commercial and retail activities.
Prime Property (the site owner) are now doing earthworks to create the building platform for future buildings. The earthworks must be carried out in accordance with the consent granted to Prime Property by WCC, and WCC must monitor compliance with the consent conditions, which include:
• Hours of work: Monday-Saturday 7:30 am - 6 pm
• Limit of 6 “bulk haul trucks” per hour, 9:30 am -2:30 pm
• No work or truck movements on Sundays or public holidays
• Afterhours contact details to be displayed on a noticeboard at the site entrance
• Dust and sediment controls must be put in place
• Plans and controls are also required for noise, traffic and public safety
• Duration of works – up to 50 weeks
A copy of the full consent is on our website (www.cvra.org.nz) along with a summary of the conditions.
CVRA are meeting with the Council next week to discuss the monitoring programme, and confirm communication channels if neighbours and residents have concerns or are affected by the works.
It is likely that more regular updates will be posted on the Creswick Valley Residents Association Facebook page - so follow our page if you are interested.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
