CommSafe is an organisation which collects your tip-offs on any dodgy going-on's in the area and shares them with their database across the district. Why? Because many tip-offs added together build a more complete picture of the problem and that information is often what Police - and locals - need.
We need a volunteer in Te Kowhai who can:
1. Round up crime and safety information from Neighbourly and our various Facebook pages and email it to CommSafe each week. These would be posts anyone has made about vehicles casing out houses, items being stolen, burglaries, vandalism, boy racers, antisocial behaviour, that sort of thing.
2. Receive the CommSafe weekly Neighbourhood Support email and post it back to Neighbourly and Facebook.
3. Be the eyes and ears for Te Kowhai should anyone want to call you to discuss concerns, anything they've seen or would like to report, and pass that information to the relevant group (Police if it is an issue that needs Police attention, or CommSafe if it's something others simply need to be made aware of).
You will need to be computer literate and able to find your way around Facebook and Neighbourly. You will need to be accessible and not have a problem with people in the community contacting you by phone on occasions to share information with you.
This is an ongoing role which would suit anyone wanting to help out their community who already uses social media. Parent or teenager, professional or retiree. This is a role which you can add to your CV (Crime & Safety Communications Co-ordinator sound OK to you?) and Te Kowhai News would be happy to support you with a reference.

One of the big changes is the new Permitted Boundary Activity process.
This change will make the planning approval process easier and cheaper should you want to build within your boundary setbacks so long as you have your neighbour’s written approval.
There are some nuances with the legislation though and it’s quite specific on what rules and neighbours are looked at. A project will continue to require a resource consent if it breaches any district plan rules other than boundary rules.
You may have heard that there will also be a new Fast Track process for resource consents if your proposal has a controlled activity status under the Waikato District Plan.
Fast Track consents are required to be processed in a maximum of 10 working days instead of 20 days. Controlled activities generally have localised effects and a common example in district is a re-sited dwelling.
One of the big changes to the Resource Management Act is how natural hazards are assessed for subdivisions. As a result of the changes, developers are now required to provide a risk assessment as part of their geotechnical report for subdivision. This increases the rigor of the upfront assessment to make sure the land is suitable for development.
We are encouraging our customers to make sure your geotechnical engineer is aware of what’s required.
In addition, how Council determines if a resource consent application needs to be notified will change from today. There are certain types of proposals that will be excluded from public notification and, in some cases, excluded from limited notification.
This information is just the headline changes. So if you're not sure if it affects you please call our Duty Planner Service for more information.
Our intention is to make things easier and cheaper for our customers and our staff.
