So much written about Lake Rotoiti and so very little written about Lake Rotoroa. We would like to change this.
If you could please get in touch with me. Thank you.
We would like to get in touch with any of the families who are decendants of the settlers of this area. We know some of their names. We know some of the stories but we want to know ALOT more. We know about the history and are proud of the families who survived and tried so hard to make a go of it. We want to celebrate them.

The Poole Family. The Bagust family. The Willetts family. The Gibson Family. The Booth family. The Fittus family.
The old diggers from the area.....Rudy Lublow, Peter Johansen, and so many others.
We want to preserve the history and the stories and talk to people who have them to tell.
Please get in touch....we are hoping in January 2019 to hold a gathering of interested people to gather with our extended family and CELEBRATE our love for this place.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

The Brook Valley Community Group and the Court of Appeal hearing June 2018

This appeal was based on the previous judgement that hazardous substances such as eco-toxic poison baits are not seen as a substance when in a river or on a riverbed and the costs awarded by judge Churchman against Brook Valley Community Group (BVCG).

Below is two short videos with Lawyer Sue Grey.

Video 2: Sue Grey: Poison Legalities
youtu.be...

Some staunch Sanctuary/council supporters would prefer BVCG to pay up and go away. The legality of this poison drop has nation wide implication which needs to be settled by law hence BVCG is following through what we started even though our Valley were poisoned.

As for paying up. This is my personal view: 'The question of why should a community group pay the Sanctuary expenses when their legal representation had been pro bono? David Butler announced during the Sanctuary AGM that they had received the value of $600,000 pro bono work from their law firm and in addition the Sanctuary set up a Givealittle page and received further $32.000 from donations towards legal expenses. I don't believe it is right. Aren’t the council/raterpayer donations enough to keep their $300,000+ salaries per year enough?'

The appeal was held in front of three judges, no new evidence were allowed into the hearing. It is expected to take about 2-3 months before we hear the outcome of this appeal.
