The deferral by members of panel to a full council meeting on 26 June was so a bigger group of councillors could make the decision. A breather would also hopefully allow councillors to take account of a similar decision from NZ Transport Agency for an adjoining Cobham Dr stretch of SH1C.

Taupō District councillors, and a few members of the public, were given a “high level” update on possible plans for what’s called the Northern Access Project, which could replace, complement or expand on the two-laned Control Gates Bridge, which is already at capacity.

The financial challenges involved in organising volunteer conservation work led a Hamilton couple to set up a philanthropic investment fund to fill the funding gaps faced by the region’s nature groups.

Selwyn and Dianne June first established the Waikato Hauraki Conservation Fund at Momentum Waikato with a significant donation in late 2021, which was during the Covid pandemic, so they only started grantmaking and promoting it to environmental networks in late 2023.
Five conservation projects around the Waikato benefited from those first grants - Kakepuku Mountain Conservation Society for trap refills and bait; Rings Beach Wetland Group Inc for possum, mustelid and rat traps; Kaitiakitanga Charitable Trust for engaging youth on pest control and riparian planting projects; Roselle Gould for predator traps near a stream and wetland at Whangamata; and Holthuizer Farm near Walton for riparian planting.
The Junes’ intent is to provide a long-term funding source for conservation work anywhere in the wider Waikato region, that the public can support with donations.

Twelve ‘stunning’ residential projects were recognised, along with another 14 that spanned commercial, public, educational, urban design and interior architecture, in the region’s Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects’ Awards this year.
Regional councillors were accused of ‘not listening to the community’, during debates over transport rates.
Waikato Regional Council voted to keep public transport rates the same in Hamilton, and to not return a $2.545 million surplus to ratepayers, in Tuesday’s annual plan deliberations.

If you have a hidden second phone for your safety, we recommend turning it off or putting it in flight mode for the duration of the test (6-7pm on Sunday 25 May) to ensure it’s not discovered when the nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert is sent.
Some mobile devices set to silent mode will still emit a sound when the Emergency Mobile Alert test is sent, so switching to flight mode or turning off your device is the only way to avoid the loud sound of the alert.
You can find more information about the Emergency Mobile Alert system, including a factsheet and list of FAQs at www.getready.co.nz

The answer is yes, it is illegal. And yet in New Zealand it's fairly common to see drivers hitting the road with their fog lights on when it's simply dark.
Those who have sat their written drivers test recently will be in the know, but be honest, did you know it was illegal?
