Mayors call on National to keep promise to scrap Three Waters

North Canterbury’s mayors are hopeful the incoming Government will stick to its promise to scrap the Three Waters reforms.

The Waimakariri, Hurunui and Kaikōura councils have been among the more vocal opponents of the Labour Government’s Affordable Waters legislation.

The legislation, which was revised earlier this year, proposed the creation of 10 entities to control the country’s Three Waters infrastructure, with the North Canterbury councils included in the Canterbury/West Coast entity.

The National and Act parties campaigned on a promise to repeal the legislation and replace it with a new proposal based on community ownership of water services.

"We look forward to the new Government swiftly repealing the outgoing Government’s legislation to honour that commitment," said Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon, co-chairperson of the lobby group Communities for Local Democracy (C4LD).

"Both leading into the campaign, and during the campaign, they’ve been clear with Kiwis that this was their intention, and they have the electoral mandate now to get on with it and fix this flawed reform."

Gordon said reform was urgently needed, but central and local government needed to work together to ensure the best outcome.

Three Waters was suggested as a solution to the country's ageing water service infrastructure.

The legislation aimed to give the new water organisations greater financial flexibility to make infrastructure upgrades to improve the safety, reliability and affordability of water services.

An alternative model was presented by Gordon in November, alongside Auckland mayor Wayne Brown and Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger.

It would see the water regulator, Taumata Arowai, remain in place alongside local ownership.

Localised Regional Water Organisations (RWOs) were suggested as an alternative to the government’s proposed 10 entity model, which would be set up in partnership with Mana Whenua.

It was proposed the RWOs have access to investment capital through a new Water Infrastructure Fund, administered by central government’s Crown Infrastructure Partners.

The degree of any formal co-governance would be determined by local communities in consultation with mana whenua, rather than by central government, Gordon said.

Kaikōura mayor Craig Mackle said his preference was to join a North Canterbury RWO, which could include Kaikōura, Hurunui, Waimakariri, Christchurch and Selwyn.

Hurunui mayor Marie Black said her district had been concerned about the "loss of ownership" from early on.

"We look forward to progress being made on that commitment once the new Government is in place.

"There is a little bit of uncertainty at the moment and it will take a bit of time, but I have a high level of confidence because of the determination the parties expressed in the campaign."

She called on the new Government to work in "true partnership" with councils across the range of reforms, including the Resource Management Act reform and the future of local government.

Comment has been sought from Te Kura Taka Pini (the Ngāi Tahu freshwater group).

A Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu spokesperson said the rūnanga is "apolitical" and works with the government of the day.

Canterbury receives ‘paltry amount’ of national road funding – Waimakariri mayor

Canterbury receives a "paltry amount" of national road funding, Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon says.

In a submission on the Government's national roading priorities, Gordon said the Woodend Bypass and Ashburton State Highway 1 bridge were the only significant Canterbury projects in the mix.

"The Ashburton bridge and the Woodend Bypass are important for the entirety of Canterbury and for the country," Gordon said.

"We need to advocate strongly for Canterbury. What we receive in Canterbury is a paltry amount compared to the overall funding for roading."

He said maintenance funding and subsidies needed to be at a level that allowed councils to keep roading networks up to speed.

"When we get behind it is very hard to catch up, so it is something we prioritise here."

In the submission on the draft Government Policy Statement on land transport, the Waimakariri District Council supported its "general direction", but said it would like more Canterbury projects in the mix.

The policy statement, released by Transport Minister David Parker in August, sets the Government’s priorities for future land transport investment.

The inclusion of the proposed Woodend Bypass in the plan saw it move into the top three projects in the draft Canterbury Regional Land Transport Plan 2024-34. This guides land transport planning within the region.

The other significant Canterbury project brought forward was the Ashburton State Highway 1 bridge.

In the submission, Gordon welcomed plans to widen the Ashley River Bridge as part of the Woodend Bypass project.

"We hope this will allow for cycling and walking."

However, he called for an underpass to be constructed near the Pegasus/Ravenswood roundabout to improve cycle and walking access across SH1.

Gordon also wanted the immediate purchase of land required for the Woodend Bypass to give property owners some certainty.

He also called for other Waimakariri projects to be given great priority, including the proposed Skew bridge upgrade (west Kaiapoi), Lineside Rd safety improvements, the Rangiora western link, the proposed Rangiora eastern link road and transportation infrastructure to support the development of Māori Reserve 873.

He also advocated the call from Greater Christchurch Partnership’s (a coalition of local government, mana whenua and government agencies) for more funding for public transport and infrastructure enhancements.

Other Canterbury projects in the GPS included funding for public transport, Rolleston upgrades, Brougham St safety improvements, increased public transport capacity on Halswell Rd, rural intersection safety improvements, and SH1 resilience in Timaru.

For now the Rangiora western link, eastern link road and Skew bridge projects sit at numbers 20, 24 and 25 in the draft Canterbury Regional Land Transport Plan 2024/34.

The Greater Christchurch Partnership’s public transport initiatives is in the top four, along with the Conway River bridge replacement in the Hurunui district.

"The benefit of the regional approach is that councils work together effectively to advocate for regionally significant and nationally significant projects," Gordon said.

Earthing/Grounding - Reconnect to Mother Nature to restore and Maintain Health

Hello Neighbours
I am totally in love with Earthing/Grounding. "WHY"? I hear your ask, well I will tell you.
Grounding is a practice whereby individuals are put in direct contact with the surface of the Earth. It includes walking barefoot outdoors, swimming in the oceans and lakes or sleeping, working and relaxing indoors with bare skin in contact with conductive mats, pillows etc, in order to maintain the body at Earths electric potential.
(I have a grounding mat under my bare feet while at my computer)

The earths negative electric surface charge is virtually limitless reservoir of free electrons that is constantly replenished by the global atmospheric electric circuit. The Earthing hypothesis states that when direct skin contact is made with the Earths surface or a ground system indoors, the body's electric potential equalises with the Earths potential thereby maintaining the body's access to the earths negative surface charge (electrons). This contact prevents build-up of static electric charge on the body and allows the body to store a supply of electrons.

Published research indicates that grounding yields a broad array of intriguing positive changes within the physiology and bioelectrical construct of the body. Multiple reported benefits include the following.

Improved sleep, decreased pain, a normalising effect on cortisol, reduction of stress, diminished damage to muscles caused by delayed onset of muscle soreness, lessening indicators of osteoporosis, and improved thyroid function, glucose regulation, immune response, and blood fluidity. WOW!

But what I want to show you today is the benefits that grounding has on our face! Increased blood flow to the face is seen as a major natural way to rejuvenate the skin of the face. A study was done on grounded and ungrounded subjects at BioMed IRB of San Diego.

“The results demonstrate, for the first time, that even one-hour contact with the earth restores blood flow regulation to the face that may enhance skin tissue repair, health and vitality, and optimise facial appearance, which may also have broad implications for overall cardiovascular function and health.”

If there are improvements on the exterior while you ground, it’s because there are improvements to the interior.

Every day is Earth Day!
