Piha R&R News Update - 15th October

Cyclone Gabrielle damage from Road Reserves: If your property has been impacted by damage to the Council Road Reserve, there may be assistance available soon. Get in touch with Tony Profit of STAR (Stickered Titirangi Area Homes HERE, Councilor Ken Turner and see the item in the Auckland Recovery Office Newsletter HERE.

Skate Park Project: The Piha R&R Community Association is continuing to work with all the local Skate Park interest groups to find a way forward with Auckland Council. While the focus is on the Piha Domain as the preferred site, it is becoming obvious that this is the most difficult option due to Council Management Plans and Bylaws. If the community could agree on an alternative site, progress might be smoother and quicker.

Auckland Council Recovery Office have published the latest Update. It hold little interest for most of the Piha community except as mentioned above, and addresses none of the problems that still exist in Piha related to clearing of storm water drains, etc., that your R&R Association is still fighting for. See the latest Auckland Council Recovery Office Update HERE.

Road Repairs: Currently there is very little information available that affects Piha. There is no information available about that “seemingly small and stupid” orange pole diversion an West Coast Road in Oratia. Karekare Road will remain Closed till Christmas and when opened, Lone Kauri will be Closed. See the latest Auckland Transport information HERE..

Treasurer: The Association Treasurer has retired and we are interested in hearing from anyone local who has book keeping experience and may have an interest in getting involved. Email us for more information if interested.
