Te Puna Community Plan March 2007 Page 36

Appendix 8 – Heartlands Inc. In October 2001, a group of Te Puna residents met to discuss ideas and opportunities that would bring their local community together to focus on issues affecting Te Puna. A number of options were identified as a means of achieving this goal: promotion of local activities or features create opportunities for people to feel more ‘connected’ co-ordinate publicity of organisations within the community. Our first objective was to become an incorporated society and then to be recognised by the Western Bay of Plenty District Council and the community as a group which could represent issues affecting Te Puna. Since then we have published a Te Puna brochure, worked with local residents and the Council on issues such as water quality at Te Puna West, the upgrade of Waitui Reserve, revamp of Maramatanga Park and roading issues. We have also made submissions to Council on recreation and a range of other planning issues. Efforts have also been made to liaise with local groups and support their endeavours where asked. The present committee is: Robyn Roan, Acting Chairperson Beth Bowden, Secretary Heather Lowes, Treasurer Peter Lochhead Kelvin Youngman Nolene De Luca Richard Comyn. The group has been supported in our endeavours by local councillor, Jo Gravit. Te Puna Community Plan March 2007 Page 37
