Whangārei District Council opts out of Government s three waters reform

Councillors at a formal WDC meeting on Tuesday morning unanimously voted against Government plans to amalgamate its three waters provision into a single entity across at least Northland – likely carving off the council provision of drinking, waste and stormwater into a new non-council entity in doing so. Tania Whyte/Northern Advocate Whangārei District Council s newest piece of three waters (drinking water, storm water and wastewater) infrastructure is its new $29 million Whau Valley water treatment plant. Generations of Whangārei residents have paid towards the district’s $634 million three waters infrastructure, which now has a $1.3 billion replacement value. “In the absence of information that shows our ratepayers will be better off by opting in, I do believe opting out is a better course of action,” Mai said.

Pakiri locals fight plans to take their sand for Auckland beaches

Protesters form SOS for Save our Sand on a Mangawhai beach. Photo: Supplied / Elevated Media Sharley Haddon s description of Pakiri beach s predicament is simple: If you dig a hole in a bowl of sugar, what happens to the sugar around the edge? She thinks almost 100 years of sand mining in the waters off Pakiri beach, north of Auckland, has caused the shore s sand and the dunes to slump into the holes and trenches left by dredging. To visitors, Pakiri beach still looks like a slice of paradise; a long, empty arc of white sand extending from the Pakiri to Mangawhai. For locals like Haddon, there s worry. The beach has changed and not for the better.
