Olive trees that produced an award-winning oil are on the chopping block, with Wellington City Council proposing to remove them from a central Wellington street. The tree roots are causing some real problems, but is that reason enough to chope them down and replace them?

Our Annual Plan 2023/24 will have an impact on everyone living in Kāpiti. It will lay out all the mahi (work) we intend to do between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024 - the planned activities, services, and projects we plan to progress and why, how much things are likely to cost, and how we plan to pay.
In a nutshell:
💪🏼 We’re sticking to our Long-term Plan, making only minor changes. We will continue to invest in our resilience, making sure we have the infrastructure, services, and facilities we need to meet the challenges we are facing and support our whole community to thrive.
🚧 The year ahead is going to be far from plain sailing – the cost of delivering our projects and services continues to increase, and we have supply chain challenges and workforce shortages to contend with too.
💰 We've worked hard to reduce the rates impact from the forecast 14% increase (Dec 2022). The average rates increase for 2023/24 is 7.8%, just below the 7.9% forecast for year three of our Long-term Plan. This will vary depending on the location and value of your property.
The Annual Plan and associated rates paper will go to Council for discussion and adoption on 29 June 2023.

New fleet of trains for Kapiti Coast and Wairarapa.
The new trains will operate using electricity wires, batteries and fuel, reducing over half a million tonnes of emissions.
What chance of extending the service to Otaki now they run on batteries?

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.
Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.
Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.

Installing water meters on all Horowhenua properties connected to the water network is the preferred option of the Horowhenua District Council.
An extra $6.1 million has been budgeted for the installation of water meters in Council's consultation document to amend the 20 Year Long Term Plan (LTP).
The proposed plan states, "Forty percent of the district currently has water meters...for the purpose of detecting leaks and further reducing water losses."
"Without district wide use of water meters
as leak detectors, we would need to accelerate
investment into our water infrastructure...which is something we simply cannot afford."
"Council is aware of concern about the potential costs to ratepayers when a leak is found on their property. Council will look at different ways to can help to manage the costs through the next LTP. Options may include a targeted rate to pay the cost back over a number of years."
The extra $6.1 million is part of an extra $75 million being sought by Council for Levin Wastewater Treatment Plant ($14.5 million), Foxton Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant ($3 million), Levin Water Treatment Plant ($21.5 million), Levin water services ($4.8 million), Shannon water services ($3.5 million), Poads Road water storage ($2.5 million) and Stormwater improvement ($11.8 million).
The Council's proposed amendments received an 'adverse opinion' from the Audit Office for, "assuming that it will retain ownership of three waters infrastructure assets and remain responsible for the service delivery of three waters services" for the next 20 years.
The Audit Office report stated, "The assumptions are therefore not reasonable or supportable, which affects the credibility of the proposed LTP amendment."
The budget blowout is one of the reasons why Council is consulting on a 7.9 percent increase in general rates instead of the 6.5 percent rates limit set in consultation with the community in 2021.
Other reasons include, "costs have skyrocketed. Since 2021, construction costs have increased significantly driven by the cost of materials and the price of fuel."
The Council is also proposing to fund the increased costs of upgrading Foxton Pools from the Foxton Beach Freeholding Account.
If Council did agree to use the fund it says it would be breaching its own policy, "to have a minimum balance of $5 million cash in the account at all times."
"If Council were to approve the use of the
Freeholding Account for the Foxton Pool upgrades the balance would reduce to $4.2 million. This would be a further breach the policy.
"A breach of policy is not ideal, but this breach would not have any legislative consequences. If the funding did not come from the Freeholding Account it would need to be loan funded."
Consultation closes on 1 May

This Westinghouse oven has had very little use. Was one of a pair and was only used for deserts - non meat, therefore extremely clean. It comes with all trays and grill shelves. Buyer will need to collect, and if quick can have both ovens. Call Sandy on 021 683113
