If you want to have a say about the councillor election system and whether or not community boards should be established in Tauranga you can do so by completing the form online or in writing. Google "Tauranga City Have Your Say" for the online form. Copies can also be picked up at your local library or the Council will send you one if you make a request.
The Review will determine how many councillors there should be and how they should be elected. Options 1, 3 and 4 councillors are elected from several wards but electors are only entitled to vote for the councillors from their ward.They may not vote for councillors from other wards. Option 2 provides for 9 councillors to be elected from one city-wide general ward and for electors to be entitled to vote for all 9 councillors. Maori ward electors may only vote for Maori ward councillors.
This is the first time that a Tauranga Council has given residents the opportunity to decide if they want community boards to be established. Community boards give residents a chance to have a say on local matters at a local level. Boards are managed by local people elected for 3 years from the community they represent. A board's forums and meetings are conducted in local venues where residents will feel comfortable having their say. This is real grassroots democracy.
Representation Reviews take place every 6 years.There won't be another opportunity to have your say until 2027. If you haven't already done so, make sure you let the Council know what you think before the survey closes on Friday.

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.
"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”
The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.
On Friday the Council will commence its engagement with the community about the system that will be used to elect councillors at the next election.

Details of the options will be posted on the Council's website on Friday. Google: Tauranga City Have a Say. Three of the options are aligned with the previously used ward system and one offers a new system that would see 9 councillors elected to represent all of Tauranga. Under the ward system voters can only vote for the few councillors in their ward but under the new system they can vote for all 9 councillors.
Also up on the website will be a survey to find out if people want community boards.The boards would be led by locally elected members who would have legal power to hold public forums and advocate for the needs and preferences of their local area. Boards are funded by the Council but they are not expensive. The yearly cost of a board would be no more $4.50 per head of population and possibly much less than that. If boards get the go ahead they will start operating next year.
Tell the Council you want boards so you can have your say at a local level.

Sheep farming was established in New Zealand by the 1850s and has played an important role in the economy ever since. For several decades wool accounted for more than a third of New Zealand’s exports by value with the sheep population peaking at just over 70 million in 1982.
This number is significant when comparing it to New Zealand’s human population. By 2020, sheep numbers dropped to 26 million, following a decline in profitability compared to other types of farming, particularly dairying.
While also farmed for their meat, today’s article focuses on sheep wool and its environmental attributes.
Wool is a natural and renewable resource and as long as our beloved sheep are eating the tasty green pastures from New Zealand farms they will always produce wool. Wool has amazing properties that make it ideal for many applications from home textiles through to incontinence underwear.
At this point in time, cotton and synthetic fibres are the most commonly used and produced fibres globally, however their performance does not come close to wool, in particular the environmental benefits.
From wool to yarn: The wool clip (total yield of wool shorn during one season from the sheep) is sent to the scourers where the wool is cleaned and dried, and from there to a woollen spinner where the fibre is spun into yarn. The yarn is then sent on to the manufacturer of textile products where many different processes are involved.
The yarn is wound onto dye cones and dyed to the required colours. Next the yarn is warped onto beams. These warp beams are then threaded through the looms so that the weft yarn can run across the warp to create a woven fabric.
The fabric is then inspected and then washed and dried. Very few chemicals are used in the processing, typically only water and heat.

Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.
Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.
My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.
