A pensioner’s housing plight has raised questions about whether people living in commercial buildings could actually help revitalise towns.

Dave Stewart - a 74-year-old recent cancer survivor - was late last year served with an eviction notice by his landlords to be out by Christmas Day from business zone premises in Te Aroha’s Whitaker St.

And as New Zealand faces housing shortages and struggles with empty shops in town centres, some are questioning the “black and white division” of business and residential.

The visionary project to create a public outdoor education and recreation park around the new lake filling a former mine at Kimihia in Huntly is in part being enabled by a trust originally established to build a school camp near Raglan.

The Huntly Karioi Trust was established in 1972 to facilitate outdoor education opportunities for the students of Huntly College. It was incorporated the following year, as camping and other outdoor training classes were getting underway at the College.

By 1976 the Trust had raised in excess of $30,000, a significant amount at the time, achieved with the support of the College’s staff, local farmers and the community at large.

Two significant fundraisers had been a raffle for a new car, and the running of a relay from Wellington to Huntly in just under 44 hours by nine students, including Lynda Topp, and teacher Brian Curle, as pictured below.
