Melville Collective Impact Project

Keshia from Melville

Kia ora, Teenaa koutou, Malo, Hai, Ola, Namaste:

I am a whaanau (family) representative for the Melville Collective Impact project that was formed in October 2019 with the guidance of local iwi (tribal authority) Waikato-Tainui and haapu (sub-tribes) of our area. To clarify the Melville Area that this project supports is the suburbs in West ward such as: Melville North, Melville South, Bader, Fitzroy, Peacockes, Glenview and Resthills. We are re-branding our name as it does not yet attribute all the suburbs of our Area.

There is alot of changes that you would be noticing going on around our nick of the woods , or even heard about through the grapevine. That's why this project has been formed to allow our community no matter what background to be leaders for our area - to let local government, schools, businesses and health providers what we want to see in our community.

If you would like to have your say on what is happening within the community and our area please complete this short survey (at the end of this post). Or if you would like to become an active member for our community come along to the next meeting being held at Melville Intermediate on Tuesday 4th August, 5:30pm. I have included our first paanui (notice) put together after our second design meeting with some of the members of our community - we still need your say. It also explains what a collective impact team is.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Seven the magic number for Ruakura Superhub warehouse project

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s not quite the seven wonders of the ancient world, but the seven warehouses of the Ruakura Superhub are promising big things.

The new addition close by the inland port on the outskirts of the city will augment the numerous multi-million dollar investments already there.
