New cellphone tower for Doves Bay
We have been notified that a new cellphone tower is to be installed on Doves Bay Road, Kerikeri. This appears to be a non-notifiable activity for which the FNDC has already issued the requisite Resource Consents. The location will be on the road reserve immediately adjacent to the road boundary of the property at No.5 Doves Bay Road, some 100 metres from the dwelling at No.1, 60 metres from the dwelling at No.9, 25 metres from the yet to be built dwelling at No.5, and roughly opposite the mailbox of No.2. The tower is to be 15 metres high and the associated structure/cabinets will cover 2 m2. The entire structure will be located on the council road reserve. As the cellphone reception for Vodafone has always been poor around much of the Doves Bay, Opito Bay, Kerikeri Peninsular area, it is assumed that the new tower is to be a Vodafone tower although this remains to be confirmed. A transformer to supply power to the tower has already been installed on the site adjacent to the small group of kanuka trees on the road reserve. For further information see the attached Resource Consent application and environmental assessment report from the Rural Connectivity Group.

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.
