The Work of The Predator Free Tamahere Group.
Our latest tally stands at 6894 pests removed, including 1156 possums. This spring has seen an expected increase in re-invading possums, following a particularly quiet winter. The AT220 auto-traps have proven invaluable and help mitigate against the complacency of re-baiting & resetting single-kill traps.

Councillors Report for Sept, 2024 - Roading Cuts!
From Councillors Beavis and Keir.
Lower than expected roading subsidies from the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) for local roading projects will leave Waikato District Council tens of millions short for planned new roading projects over the next three years. So far it’s been reported that the Council will be about $35m short - and this is likely to force the Council to defer some projects until 2027-28.

Community Asked To Keep an Eye On The New Public Toilet in Tamahere Park After Vandalism
Following the 5th March Committee meeting residents are being asked for support to report vandalism. The TCC has some initiatives to manage the issue.
The Council does not plan to provide for drying your hands or a toilet seat due to vandalism, which understandably is a real problem. The Committee suggested the following:
Provide signage that states what can be flushed down the toilet plus signage that provides a number to call if vandalism is occurring or has occurred (so it can be reported immediately).
Bring the matter to the attention of the Tamahere Community so that people are more aware.
Encourage the Council to speed up the CCTV project so that CCTV monitoring can assist with identifying the culprits.
TCC to liaise with Hamilton East, Tamahere and Matangi Community Patrol.
Please call 111 to report activities of vandals or vandalism and remember to grab 'happy snaps' of any perpetrators.

Update on the NZTA/HCC Changes Morrinsville/Matangi/Silverdale Intersection.
The Transport Committee will be approving a preferred option for walking and biking improvements along Morrinsville Road between the Cambridge Road/Morrinsville Roundabout and Jansen Park.
You can find detail of this on pages 54-61 and Attachment 3 (pages 78-101) of the Committee agenda here: AGENDA PAGE. The two options being presented are:
Option 1: Separated cycle ways with raised safety platforms on Morris Road, Berkley Ave and Mullane Street, signalised raised crossing near Cambridge Road, upgrade to the existing signalised crossing near Mullane Street with raised safety platform.
Option 2: Separated cycles ways with raised safety platforms on side streets as per option 1, signalised crossing near Cambridge Road, kerb build outs (these create safer and shorter crossings for pedestrians) to the existing signalised crossing near Mullane Street.
This follows previous Committee approvals for the design and construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Morrinsville Road, Silverdale Road and Matangi Road and surrounding pedestrian and cycling facilities. Thank you for your interest in this project.
