This is our only fundraiser for the year, the malls pay for all resources, and all donations come directly to help us support 330 other charities in our region. Gift wrapping shifts are around 4 hours long, and you need to be available for at least three during the month. It's tonnes of fun, you can bring a friend/family member, and training is provided. Give Liddy, Lorraine or myself a call on 07 839 3191 to find out more!

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.

If it is a new vehicle this is usually done by the Dealership it was purchased from.
For vehicles out of warranty or vehicles that have a used vehicle warranty, servicing should be once a year minimum.
In general, however, you should have your vehicle serviced every 10,000km or 6 months, whichever comes first. This should be carried out by a reputable repair & service automotive workshop to eliminate short cuts in quality and materials supplied.
The engine is the most important and often the most expensive part of your vehicle to repair. By keeping your engine free of varnish, sludge and other contaminants will improve performance and prolong engine life.
No single step will help an engine last more than regular 'servicing'. Conversely, nothing will destroy an engine faster than neglecting regular 'engine servicing'.

My name is Steve and I providing a new mobile Travel Agency service. I work as part of the House of Travel Group and work from home in Ohaupo.
This means for areas such as Ohaupo, Ngahinapouri, Rukuhia and Pirongia where there are no local travel agencies I can come to you by appointment for an informal chat about a trip idea you have. I can happily travel anywhere around the Waikato or you can contact me via phone or email.
After our initial chat I will go away and use my 13 years of experience to put together the best possible quote/itinerary which I will send you via email. I will get you great value for your money!
The best part is that next...... I will leave you alone!
I believe in providing no pressure/no obligation quotes so you do not have to worry about being chased by a pushy salesperson. Just simply email me back if requiring further info or wanting to go ahead. Nice and easy!
Regards
Steve Wilson
