Papakura goes trolley-mad!

Elliot Street in Papakura became a race track for a few hours on Sunday as the 2009 Blue Light Trolley Derby took over the street and some outrageous creations raced down the hill. Top speed on the day was 38 km/h; above, Makayla Ranken, 5 (car 51) and Natasha Reid, 6 head off on their semi-finals run.


SECURITY CHARGE AT
PARK AND RIDE

A security charge is now payable for all users of the Papakura Park and Ride car park at the Papakura rail station.

The charge will be $2.00 per car per day. It offsets the cost of providing security staff at the Park and Ride.

Three “pay and display” ticket machines have been installed in the car park, and tickets must be
clearly displayed inside the car.

There are a range of free all-day car parks in the town centre including the Davis Car Park at the northern end of town and the ground floor of the two-level car park at Accent Point in East Street. Farmers Car Park in O’Shannessey Street also provides for all day parking and has security monitoring services.  Read more.

TRIMMING TREES ON YOUR PROPERTY

Changes to the Resource Management Act regarding tree trimming came into effect from the 1st October 2009.

Some of these changes relate to the trimming of protected trees. Trees which are protected are defined in the District Plan.

You still cannot cut down trees that are protected. However, you can now trim trees that are protected in the urban area.

The changes to the Resource Management Act do not specifically define trimming. However, Papakura District Council has issued the following guidelines to assist you stay within the new law and avoid prosecution:

Trimming should be carried out with hand operated tools and in accordance with recognised arboriculture practice which is not likely to result in:

  • the death or destruction of the tree or cause irreparable damage

  • major change to the height or shape of the tree.

If in doubt, please contact Council on 295 1300 before carrying out any work.
