Urgent Community Meeting
Hello All
Te Kowhai Community Group has called a urgent public meeting in the Te Kowhai Hall on Monday 8 July 2019 at 7pm.
This meeting is in regards to the Airport submission to Council to expand the sound barrier and the flight path of the airport.
Some of your homes will be affected by this should future building consents be required.
We want to ensure you all have the correct information regarding this proposal that will affect our community.
A responding submission needs to be lodged with council by Friday 12th July. We can do this on your behalf after the meeting.
If you have any questions, please come and ask on the night.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
