A date for your diary...
This year's Annual General Meeting will be on Wednesday 19 September 2018, 7pm at the Moutere Hills Community Centre.
More information will be available as we get closer to the date.
The Mapua & Districts Community Directory is a handy directory of businesses and residential listings in your local area.
You can always pick up the latest printed copy at the Upper Moutere General Store, Mapua Country Store, Mapua Library, or First Class Accounts. The business listings can also be viewed online at http://mapua.co.nz/
Why not check out the latest copy and see if your details are still correct?
If your details have changed, or you are new to the area and would like to add your information to the residential listings, or you know of somebody who is still listed but definitely no longer lives in the area, please help keeping the listings up-to-date by sending a note to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (or by using the update request form at the back of the printed directory).
The listings are not updated automatically, so the directory relies on the community to advise the MDBA (Mapua & Districts Business Association) of any changes - your help is much appreciated.
Our next public meeting will be
Tuesday 20 March 2018, 7 pm at the Moutere Hills Community Centre
This will mainly revolve around TDC's consultation on the Long Term Plan 2018-2028.
It will be a great chance to meet your Councillors, Council staff, and Mayor Richard Kempthorne.
Thanks to all who attended our AGM last week. Our three ward councillors were present and TDC staff Brian McManus and Giles Griffith reported on transportation issues and river works in the area.
Overall, we had around 50 visitors, making for a lively discussion when the three parliamentary candidates, Damien O'Connor (Labour), Maureen Pugh (National), and Claire Holley (GOdsownNZ) made their presentations.
At this meeting, we also confirmed our new Chair Faris Mali and new Deputy Chair James Stradling and the remaining committee and officers of the Moutere Hills Residents Association.
