New cellphone tower for Doves Bay
We have been notified that a new cellphone tower is to be installed on Doves Bay Road, Kerikeri. This appears to be a non-notifiable activity for which the FNDC has already issued the requisite Resource Consents. The location will be on the road reserve immediately adjacent to the road boundary of the property at No.5 Doves Bay Road, some 100 metres from the dwelling at No.1, 60 metres from the dwelling at No.9, 25 metres from the yet to be built dwelling at No.5, and roughly opposite the mailbox of No.2. The tower is to be 15 metres high and the associated structure/cabinets will cover 2 m2. The entire structure will be located on the council road reserve. As the cellphone reception for Vodafone has always been poor around much of the Doves Bay, Opito Bay, Kerikeri Peninsular area, it is assumed that the new tower is to be a Vodafone tower although this remains to be confirmed. A transformer to supply power to the tower has already been installed on the site adjacent to the small group of kanuka trees on the road reserve. For further information see the attached Resource Consent application and environmental assessment report from the Rural Connectivity Group.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
