A Whangārei firefighter dampening down the remains of a house in Kaka St, Ahipara, that
was an arson attack.
Northern Advocate
The cause of a fire that ripped through an Ahipara home leaving little more than a rear wall standing was arson, Fire and Emergency New Zealand says. Fire investigator Craig Bain confirmed the fire, which started inside the Kaka St house on the lower level, was deliberately lit on Thursday. Bain said their inquiries were ongoing. The alarm was raised at 3.28am and fire brigades from Ahipara, Kaitaia, and Whangarei controlled the blaze as well as protected two neighbouring properties that were threatened at the height of the blaze. No one was home at the time of the fire. It was the seventh serious house fire in the Far North in the past two months.

Sustainability key to limits
Northlanders can have their say on proposals to ensure the sustainability of rock lobster populations across a number of New Zealand's fisheries. The proposals were developed by National Rock Lobster Management Group, representing tangata whenua, recreational and commercial fishers, New Zealand environmental organisations, New Zealand organisations, and Fisheries New Zealand. There are two types of rock lobster, also called kōura, in New Zealand - red and packhorse. The proposal is for small to medium reductions to catch to ensure the stocks remain sustainable. The proposed changes affect Northland, Gisborne, Wellington, Hawke's Bay, Canterbury, and Marlborough. Find out more at https://www.mpi.govt.nz/consultations/review-of-sustainability-measures-2021-april-round/. Consultation closes on February 5.

Nominations close soon for Whangarei Urban seat - Council

Wednesday, 16 December, 2020 - 10:37
People keen to stand for the WhangÄrei Urban seat left vacant with the recent resignation of former Northland Regional Councillor John Bain are being urged to get their nominations in sooner rather than later.
Electoral Officer Dale Ofsoske says while several people have publicly announced an intention to contest the byelection, as of today (subs: 9am Weds 16 December) no-one had formally completed the nomination process.
A formal nomination period opened late last month and closes at noon on Tuesday next week (subs: Tues 22 December).
Mr Ofsoske is urging people not to leave lodging their nominations too close to that deadline, in case there’s a problem with the form which could render it invalid if it can’t be corrected/completed in time.
