Events and dates for your calendar Excuse the fonts folks - they jump all over the place, resize etc on this low cost web site. Wednesday, 26th September 2018. Public Discussion on keeping vehicles and dogs out of Waipu Wildlife Refuge and dunes. 7.30 pm. St Peters Church, 10 Nova Scotia Drive, Waipu Following the Waipu Residents and Ratepayers Association AGM will be a discussion on solving the problems of vehicles on beaches, sand dunes and the wildlife refuge. Their local Councillors are likely to be there so support from a broad section of the community would be helpful for as many people as possible to turn up and enter this discussion. The focus will be on the north side of Waipu river mouth as the southern side is well managed. David Lourie will provide a power point presentation based on photos and an explanation of his perspective on the current situation. If anyone would like to put together a short presentation to share your knowledge of species, habitat, or concerns. There will be a projector you can use but we will need a couple of days notice to make sure the projector is compatible will your device. Please forward this notice to whoever you think may be interested in attending.
