‘We did get it wrong’: Council failed to consult boat operators on new fee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whitianga Wharf is notorious for being crowded during the summertime. Photo/ Dominico Zapata, Waikato Times Whitianga tour boat operators, who may soon face an extra $1-a-passenger fee, have blasted the council for not consulting them. Staff at Thames-Coromandel District Council have recommended a “district-wide $1 passenger fee for tour and charter operators using council-managed harbour facilities”. A report to the council’s September meeting proposed introducing it by November 1. Two angry Wh
Century-old human remains at risk of slipping on to highway (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Tararu Cemetery is perched directly above State Highway 25. Photo / Christel Yardley Weaving past ancient human remains isn’t what people expect on a trip up Coromandel’s State Highway 25. It’s a real possibility, however, as about 10 graves from the historic Tararu Cemetery in Thames are “at risk” of slipping on to the road below, according to a Thames-Coromandel District Council report.

‘Bent over backwards’: Govt should accept eastern merger, councils say (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thames-Coromandel Mayor Peter Revell (centre) had a fair few amalgamation options to choose from. Photo / Mark Taylor, Waikato Times The councils in a potential Waikato eastern bloc say they’ve “bent over backwards” to tick the Government’s boxes for amalgamation. The three councils involved have all agreed to the proposal and their mayors reckon Wellington won’t need to make any changes. The proposal would turn Thames-Coromandel, Hauraki and Matamata-Piako District Councils into a single unitar
