Waka Kotahi NZTA have provided a summary of engagement about the recent consultation regarding the two route options and the feedback received.
Once the emerging preferred corridor has been identified, and after they have met with potentially affected landowners, they will publish the emerging preferred corridor on their website. The next round of engagement will get underway in early-2021 and will be focussed more on highway design elements including intersections, access and walking and cycling. As well as their ongoing online engagement, Waka Kotahi NZTA are also planning to host community events in February 2021.

Let's talk about the waterfront! Today we are launching our Waterfront Precint Plan engagement and we want your input on this very special part of the city.

www.wdc.govt.nz...

Help us develop a 20 to 30-year shared vision for the Whangarei Waterfront for how it will change and develop.

Over the next few weeks our team will also be going to events around Whangārei – the Night Market, Artisan Markets, holding meetings with key stakeholders and the general public (at A’Fare, 10am-12pm on 3 December and 5pm-7pm on 10 December) and holding drop-in sessions at the Central Library on Thursdays from 11am-12pm and 5pm-6pm on 19 and 26 November. Find out all about this project and tell us what you think!

Over the past 25 years, numerous plans and/or strategies have been developed and projects completed for the waterfront area. The Waterfront Precinct Plan will develop a cohesive vision for the waterfront area drawing on past work, existing projects and guiding future development in a consistent and integrated way. A precinct plan enables all of the projects to be considered together in one document.

A plan like this is likely to affect development for the next 20-30 years so it is vital that it reflects the wishes of the community, mana whenua and key stakeholders who will be living with the results. This Precinct Plan will inform future projects and planning, public space improvements, infrastructure spending and the Whangārei District Plan.

These units can be plumbed into any “existing” conventional domestic or commercial low-or- high pressure water cylinder, or specifically made h/w cylinder with heat exchange coil.

Free inspection and discussion of the working principle behind this technology, including observation of a working solar hot water collector “evacuated tube type” and the principles and features of how the basic solar controller manages to convert solar energy into hot water.

The average PV panel offered to “Joe consumer” on the market today is 15 to 20% efficient in harnessing the available energy from the sun PV panels offered for Industrial purposes, that are financially cost prohibitive for domestic sale are 22% efficient

By comparison, the technology utilized by the “evacuated tube principle”, used in solar hot water collectors is 72% efficient in collecting the available energy from the sun

Available in 20, 25 and 30 tube models

Due to the potential for damage to occur to the evacuated tubes from rough handling by freighting companies, these units are only offered for sale where the buyer is willing to either pick up, or pay transport costs for me to personally deliver to an address within a 300 km of Whangarei, or part way towards an address.
