KAIWAKA ~ NEW SIGNS, NEW BRIDGES
Saturday 26 March was the official opening
and blessing of the Kaiwaka footbridges and
the two new McClean Park signs.
The blessings of the beautiful signs, made
from local macrocarpa, were given by Matua
Ben and Derek Christensen along with the
unveiling of the park signs. The first sign,
pictured left with Mayor Jason Smith, John
McClean and Ben Hita) show ‘McClean Park
(1947) - Land donated by Archie and Bessie
McClean’ (featured in the last Bugle). The
second sign, pictured below, with left to right
- Derek Christensen, Ben Hita, Jason Smith,
Willow-Jean Prime MP, Tim Manning

John McClean. This sign is on Gibbons Road
next to the St. John Hall - McClean Park
(2022) - Land donated by John and
Enid McClean. The paths on this park
link under SH1 to the new northern
footbridge.
The ribbon cutting for the bridges was
done by John McClean - as guest of
honour.
The two footbridges were funded by a
grant from Central Government to
help provincial communities, and
expertly implemented by Kaipara
District Council and Bridge It NZ.
The attendees walked the paths and
bridges right through to Eutopia Café
ending the morning with further
informative speeches and a lovely
morning tea.
What a difference a few days make! These photos were taken on Monday21 March prior to the sign unveilings and
bridge openings - left is below the southern footbridge and right, at McClean Park. Saturday 26 March was a beautiful day.

HOW OUR SPORTS COMPLEX WAS BUILT
We will give some background to our complex … who remembers the Sweetwaters
Festivals? Many locals who ‘worked’ there do! It was an amazing time when we were
able to raise a large amount of money outside our small community 40 years ago.
Pictures left: A 1983 Sweetwaters t-shirt - all the bands on the back
‘The biggest money-spinner ‘was the Sweetwaters Festivals: Keighley persuaded
his brother, Daniel, who organised the festival, to hire the Eastern United rugby
club to provide security for the event. Along with the security came the right to
run a food stall. Mark Ottaway remembers the food stall was open 24 hours a day
for the duration of the festivals. “It was pretty hard work,” he says. “You just
slept when you could, and we were always busy. We always got the prime spot
next to the stage. John Keighley made sure of that.” In the busiest times the
people taking the money had no time to jam it in the till and just threw notes and
coins into the space beneath the counter, to be picked up later. Mark swears after
the first festival the back of his Austin 1800 was sagging on the ground from
the weight of coins that was going back to Kaiwaka. In all, Kaiwaka’s rugby
players and takeaway cooks worked Sweetwaters for three years and raised
$80,000.’ Ref . Stories tall, stories short - RogerTW Smithwww.kaiwaka.co.nz Kaiwaka Bugle - 28 March 2022 Page 12

IS YOUR HOUSE EARNING MORE

No. 117345 Kaye McElwain from Ray White has lived in the area for 17 years and has
worked in real estate for more than two decades as an agent and business
owner. Once a month she writes a column with commentary and analysis
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN on our local real estate market. Today, she questions if your house is a
bigger earner than you are?
N.Z.C.A.D. Architectural Over the past 12 months, the median house price for New
Zealand has increased by $161,700 while the average
household income across the country was $97,760.
Mob: 021 276 7389 It is quite likely that over this time, your house was earning more than you.

Kaiwaka 0573 income which comes in the form of ready to spend cash. As to whether your
house will continue to be a better earner than you, it remains to be seen.
At this stage, however, it does seem unlikely with median house price growth
brianwright@xtra.co.nz slowing. In some places, prices will also go backwards. Your house may have
earned more than you in 2021 but that is less likely to be the case this year.
There have been a series of
headwinds that have come into the
real estate market during the past
month. This coincides with a
considerable rise in listings which
allows buyers more choice. The
announcement of interest rates rises
together with ongoing lending
restrictions has resulted in more value
for buyers as inventory levels rise.
It is unfair to be precise about how the
headwinds may be navigated given
there are still tailwinds in the market,
but one can safely assume that the
housing cycle has begun to turn a
corner.
If you’re thinking of selling your home,
now is still a great time to take
advantage of the tail-end of this existing
cycle before a cooler market kicks in.

KAIWAKA CAN
Saturday 26 March saw the official opening and blessing of
the twin walking bridges and new park signs.
The blessings were shared between Matua Ben and Derek Christensen with the
unveiling of the park signs and ribbon cutting for the bridges given to the Guest of
Honour John McClean who has kindly donated the land by the St John hall. In
unveiling the sign for the new piece of land he said he was excited with the
planned proposals for the new park land.
Now that the bridges have been completed it is time to move to the next stage. I
know there have been those who have made comments about bridges to nowhere,
well the bridges are the start. Now it is time to put in the walkways which will
need many hands to make it a reality. Come along to our meetings or contact us
pukepunga@xtra.co.nz and learn more about our vision and perhaps join our band
of volunteers in this venture and others and help make Kaiwaka a destination not
just a town on the State Highway.
We were to hold the annual meeting next month but due to several of the executive
being unavailable it was moved that we hold it off till Wednesday 18 May.
