Pikia (Waikato, Ngāti Hikairo, Ngāti Maniapoto)
E te hunga mate, te hunga kua whetūrangitia moe
mai rā, moe mai rā, moe mai rā, haere ki te huinga o te
kahurangi, ki Hawaiki nui, ki Hawaiki roa, ki Hawaiki pāmamao, haere,
haere haere atu rā. E te rangatira a Anzac, kāore mātou e taea
te kimi i ngā kupu hei whakamārama i te tino pōuri o tātou
katoa. He rangatira hūmarie, he rangatira marae koe. He tangata koe e
ngākau nui ana ki te mahi pāpāho me te kapa haka. E kore koe e
wareware i a mātou. Ka tuku au i ōku mihi aroha ki te whānau
pani.
The Henderson-Massey local baord would like to express its sincere condolences
to the whānau of Anzac Pikia. He was involved in Māori broadcasting
for the past twenty years as a journalist. Anzac’s commitment to te reo
Māori and his vigour for allowing Māori to openly share their stories
must be commended. The tributes of Anzac across the nation reflects his love
and commitment to serving his community. He was a unique person with a heart of
gold who deeply cared about the welfare of his people. He was dedicated to the
revitalisation of te reo Māori and to his work as a broadcaster. Anzac was
a great friend to many and he will be greatly missed. The Henderson Massey
Local Board sends our aroha to his friends and whānau during this time.

8.2 Deputation
on the 24 hour restaurant in Te Atatu
|
|
Purpose
1. There has been a huge community and public concern at
the proposed 6:00am - Midnight hours and drive thru at the new
development at 543 Te Atatu Road (next to Luscious Food Store).
2. To ensure a thorough democratic process occurs and for a true
representation of the potential and actual effects a
proposed extended hours and / or a Drive Thru will have on Te Atatu
Peninsula we implore that the decision for be fully notified.
Executive Summary
The residents of Te Atatu Peninsula ask that they
are given the opportunity to engage in this process with all
relative negative effects clearly and carefully considered. Some
potential effects include:
· The
amendment to the current consent includes a reduction in on-site parking in
an already parking lacking area.
· Danger to
cyclists and obstruction of cycle ways.
· The very
real effect on the nature of the character of this residential community.
· Detrimental
effect to an already crowded traffic system in this one way in - one way out
peninsula.
· Increased
traffic congestion in both directions on Te Atatu Road.
· Increased
traffic means more noise and air pollution for the area.
· The eye
sore and detriment to the character Te Atatu Peninsula due to the
advertising/ promotional signage.
· Safety
concerns due to increase in traffic across footpaths and pedestrian
access
· Concerns
over documented smell generated by McDonalds franchises
· Light
pollution at night from signage
· Noise
pollution for immediate neighbours.
· Increase
in rubbish due to McDonalds franchise only offering disposable packaging. As
a community without a McDonalds we already find litter from this franchise on
our streets.

Recommendation/s
That the Henderson-Massey Local
Board:
a) Receives the petition from the
representatives of the “No 24-hour drive through restaurant in Te Atatu
