EAST TAMAKICONNECTION

THE NEW MOTORWAY CONNECTION TO EASTTAMAKI AND THE HIGHBROOK BUSINESSPARK IS RAPIDLY TAKING SHAPE.

The $66 million East Tamaki Connection, which is expected toopen in April 20 07, is designed to improve access and relievecongestion in this fast-growing area.

The project will also help to concentrate heavy trafc on toarterial routes, improving safety in Otaras residential and retailareas, and the main arterial roads in Pakuranga.

Currently under construction is the Highbrook Drivemotorway interchange. This includes new motorway on andoff-ramps, an overbridge and a new roundabout close to theOtahuhu power station.

This interchange will open access to the new HighbrookBusiness Park, where its estimated 10,000 peoplewill eventually work, and provide direc t access to East Tamakifrom State Highway One. A new cycleway and footpath willprovide access between Otahuhu and Otara, and across OtaraCreek to Waiouru Peninsula and the business park.

Recently opened is a new northbound off-ramp at Princes Stin Otahuhu to replace the old Water St off-ramp. Trafc lightshave been installed on Albert and Princes Street intersection,and the light phasing is being reviewed to give best results.

As part of the motorway widenin g over the Tamaki Rivercontinues, the Trenwith Street Bridge is also being widened.Because of the hazards of travelling n ext to this work and tominimise disruption to residents, Trenwith St will be closed untilearly 2007.

The latest statistics from the ManukauBeautication Charitable Trust, whichoperates the councils grafti removalprogramme, shows the problem hasgrown signicantly in the last year,particularly in Howick and Pakuranga.

Somewhere between 20,000 and30,000 tags are cleaned up each month,with a whopping 330,000 removedin 2005.

A team of 25 staff work six days aweek and use approximately 2500 litresof paint every month to cover up grafti.

Tags range in size from a 50 centpiece to very large, covering whole wallsor fences, Tagging Eradication ManagerBarbara Carney says.

We cover them with paint, or takethem off with chemicals or waterblasting, depending on the surface.

The grafti eradication teams workon all main roads, parks, reservesand council buildings from Mangere,Manurewa, Papatoetoe, Otara, Botanythrough to Howick, Pakuranga and rightout to Kawakawa Bay.

The group also removes tags fromprivate fences if they have the correctpaint colour on hand. If not, a letter isleft in the owners mailbox asking themto phone if they need help.

Barbara says the majority of taggersare aged between 12 and 17 and thepractice is often the beginning of

criminal activity for them.Because they are seeking fame

through their markings, the mosteffective treatment is rapid removal,she says.

Once grafti is reported, all tags arephotographed and then removed within24 hours. The images are stored on adatabase to aid future prosecutions.

The trust also runs a volunteerprogramme called Adopt a Spot, wherelocal residents take care of an area closeto their homes such as a bus shelter orwalkway. If you are interested in helpingto clean up grafti in your own

neighbourhood, and would like to adopta spot, contact the trust on 269 4080.

Everyone has a role to play in helpingto get rid of grafti in Manukau to report grafti, contact the councilscall centre, ph 262 5104 at any time.

GRAFFITI

TAGGING, OR GRAFFITI VANDALISM, IS A MAJOR SOCIALEPIDEMIC COSTING MANUKAU CITY A MILLION DOLLARSA YEAR IN REMOVAL COSTS.

FAR SIGHTED PLANNING KEEPS CAP ON RATES RISEManukau has managed to keep rateincreases to the lowest in the Aucklandregion, with an average rise of 5 .9 percent.

Mayor Sir Barry Curtis says sensible andprudent long-term planning by the councilhas allowed the increase to be kept toa minimum.

Manukau is the fastest growing city inthe country and for many years the counc ilhas invested in large land purchases and

infrastructure in anticipation of futuregrowth.

The council has used statutory reserveand other nancial contributions to pay formuch of the citys requirements, includingparks, roading upgrades, major water anddrainage lines.

I am proud of what we have achieved forresidents of the city. If we had neglected tothink ahead we would be struggling to keep

our rates rises low because there would b eso much pressure to pay for costly facilitiesand services, Sir Barry says.

Over the next decade it is anticipatedthere will be small rises above inationeach year. In 10 years time Manuka us

average residential rate is expected to be$2352, while Auckland Citys will be $3705and the predicted national average $3093,

according to gures released by LocalGovernment New Zealand.

In 10 years time Manukaus average residential rate is expectedto be $2352, while Auckland Citys will be $3705...

... the problem has grownsignicantly in the last year,particularly in Howick andPakuranga.

DOG REGISTRATIONREMINDEROwners who havent registered their dogsare now facing higher fees.

If a dog wasnt registered by 31 July thefee will have increased from $90 to $120.

However it is still essential that ownersregister their dog immediately to avoid a$300 ne on top of the fee.

Dog control ofcers are now visitingowners of unregistered dogs and, unlessthey pay the late registration fee in cash,the dog will be immediately seized and the$300 ne issued. Ofcers can produce awarrant of authority if dog owners have anydoubts about their identity.

If court action has to be taken thecost of having an unregistered dog will beeven higher.

The members of the panel bring awealth of experience and expertisewhich can only have benets for ourcity. I hope that local developers andbuilders take advantage of the advicethey can provide.

The panel will review and providefeedback on how developments suchas new buildings are designed and howthey t into the community around them.The will also provide advice on civicand physical works such as roading andbridges, and heritage issues.

A CALL TO ALL DRIVERSMotorists are being urged to take more careon the road after the latest Land Transpor tNew Zealand report found that 50 p er centof injury crashes in Manukau city occurredat intersections.

Key contributing factors are driversfailing to give way or stop at crossroads andpoor observation.

City Trafc Engineer Bruce Conaghansays when it comes to road safety, peoplemust follow the rules.

Its about common sense, he says.He asks motorists to drive to the conditionsand slow down in wet weather.

Stop, think and look b efore you driveout. If you cant see any cars comingbecause your view is being obstructed byanother vehicle, then wait until your viewis clear.

The seconds saved by an impatientmotorist are not worth the loss of a life,Mr Conaghan says.

COME JOIN THE BANDIf youve ever wanted to play the Scottishbagpipes, heres your chance.

The City of Manukau Pipes and Drumswants to hear from young people interestedin forming a youth band. It takes about twoyears to become skilled at playing theseinstruments and band leader Barry Wallacesays while they have a few new learnersthey need more.

Having played since he was 15, hesays its important that older pipers getyoung people involved and teach the nextgeneration.

Theres no point getting my mates tocome along and join becausewere only going to get old and die! Mr Wallace says.

The Manukau group was formed three

years ago with the encouragement ofManukau Mayor Sir Barry Curtis after twopipers from the police band accompanieda council delegation to Japan.

Founding members include councillorsSharon Stewart and Neil Morrison, andcouncil employees Barry Wallace andMark Lowry.

Practice takes place at thecouncils Civil Defence headquartersevery Wednesday at 7pm.If youre interested in

joining the band theydlove to seeyou there.

RATEPAYERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OFIMPROVED REBATE SCHEME

MORE THAN 500 MANUKAU CITY RATEPAYERS HAVEAPPLIED FOR RATES REBATES JUST TWO WEEKS AFTERRECEIVING THEIR BILLS.

Government criteria for its rebate schemehave changed, with the income thresholdincreased to $20,000 from $7400, and themaximum rebate up from $200 to $500.In addition, the income allowance has risento $500 for each dependant, from $156.

Manukau City Council Finance DirectorDave Foster says the increased numberof applications, compared with around 150last year, indicates the change wasextremely timely.

People who are on more than $20,000could also be eligible and we urge all thoseon low incomes to check on our website tocalculate their eligibility, or call us,Mr Foster says.

Applications for the rates rebate can bemade at any time throughout the year.

Its also important for people to knowabout and take advantage of, if necessary,our rates relief policy, which allows thosewho are in hardship to defer their ratespayments.

The scheme allows payments to bedelayed, if necessary until death, afterwhich the estate would meet the payments.

This is intended to help people on lowincomes, in particular superannuitants whomight be on low, xed incomes but own ahighly valuable property, Mr Foster says.

Rates deferment is not grantedautomatically, and the nal decision isdetermined by the applicants nancialsituation. Anyone wanting to apply shouldcall the council call centre on 262 5104.

TAKING CHARGE OFHEALTH AND SAFETY

Sobering statistics released by the Department of Labour show65 workplace deaths (60 male, 5 female) occurred in New Zealandduring the last year (June 2005 to June 2006).

Of those killed, three were visitors or bystanders and 11 wereself-employed contractors.

Manukau City Council is taking these gures seriously andis leading the charge in lifting health and safety standards witha project involving construction sites, roadworks and otherphysical works.

The council is working closely with contractors, the AccidentCompensation Corporation and the Department of Labour. Togetherthey have set 20 best-practice guidelines for minimum safetystandards and, from September, workers on physical sites will berequired to meet them.

Council Health andSafety Ofcer CraigMacdonald says it takes itsresponsibility to health andsafety very seriously.

Its a key priority andwe are determined toachieve these goals withina short timeframe. Ourobjective is to make sureworkers return home totheir families safely at the end of each work day.

There are already contractors who meet the required safetystandards, but some operators need assistance. To help themachieve the standards the council a nd ACC will be providing freeworkshops and monthly breakfast forums during the next12 months.

MANGERE PHOTOGRAPHED FROM THE STONEFIELDS

recycling is the Resene Paint-Wise scheme. Householders can takeunwanted paints to Resene stores to be recycled. The returned paintis used in community cl ean-up initiatives throughout the country,including Manukau.

This is the rst extended producer-responsibility scheme theHazMobile has assisted with since its launch in 2001. It is hoped itssuccess will encourage other companies to create similar schemesfor their products.

It is important to dispose of hazardous waste properly becauseit has the potential to be dangerous to p eople and the environment.Hazardous materials stored at home can cause re or toxic fumesand can cause injury if put out with normal rubbish collections.They can also contaminate soil or water.

The service is run by Manukau City Council and other councils inthe Auckland region.

If youre bringing waste for the HazMobil e please make surecontainers are in good condition or transported in anothercontainer to catch leaks. Please label the container clearly to helpthe person receiving the waste.
