As announced earlier, our AGM/candidates meeting originally planned for today has been postponed due to Covid-19 and the postponement of the General Election itself.
We're happy to announce a new date for this meeting. This will now be held:
7pm Tuesday 29th September
at Moutere Hills Community Centre
We look forward to seeing you there.
The new meeting will form the official AGM date for the Moutere Hills Residents Association, and it will also be the local Meet-The-Candidates event. Drinks and nibbles will be provided at the venue. We may carry out some member voting on association matters and updates online prior, in order to save time at the meeting.

The MHRA secretary will be emailing a brief agenda and report to association members and AGM matters including acceptance of previous minutes, financial report, election of officers, etc. will be voted on by association members and confirmed via email.

TDC held two public meetings on 25 August 2020 to present the initial concept for the proposed footpath from Upper Moutere Village to the Community Centre.
TDC's road engineer Graham Rimmer and Transportation Manager Jamie McPherson presented proposal drawings and plans.
Both meetings were well-attended and a lot of overall positive feedback was provided. Our ward councillors were all in attendance, as were the principal of Upper Moutere School and representatives from other local community groups.

Footpath: What About The River Routes?

Prompted by questions at the public footpath consultation meetings, we are here summarising the various considerations and developments with regards to route options along the rivers:
History
For several years, the Moutere Hills Residents Association (MHRA) had been investigating the possibility to create a pathway between Kelling Road and Supplejack Valley Road alongside the Moutere River, or alternatively along the NZ Company Ditch to the East of the village.
As is the case for the highway route options, public land availability has always been a major limiting factor. Some sections of the river route had been available for the pathway at different times, but at no time was a complete, continuous route available.
See below for all the reasons now supporting the highway route.

FOOTPATH PROPOSAL: HIGHWAY ROUTE
The TDC transportation department has invested a lot of time and effort investigating possible routes along the highway - including options on both sides, with or without pedestrian crossings, crossings on the open highway and/or inside the village.
The route now proposed is to start right in the village centre from the end of the existing footpath just outside the Upper Moutere Store, then run entirely along the west side of the Moutere Highway down to the Kelling Road intersection and there connect to the existing footpath just outside the Country Kids preschool.
This route has been chosen because it is the only option that entirely avoids any highway crossings, which is an obvious huge safety benefit.
