The Moutere Hills Residents Association would like to invite you to their Annual General Meeting on
Tuesday 24 September 2013 at 6 pm at the Upper Moutere School Hall
The committee will present updates from the Community Pathway project - creating a walk- and cycleway between Upper Moutere Village and the Community Centre.
We will discuss Speed Limits in our area, namely on those roads where there is local residents concern and which we are trying to get looked at by council. Our ward councillors Cr Trevor Norris and Cr Brian Ensor have confirmed they will be present and available to discuss the subject.
Also, all constitutional association issues will be addressed at this meeting (accounts review, elections and plans for the next year) - please see the full agenda for more details.
This is a public meeting and all the community is warmly invited to attend and take part. Please note that only association members will be able to vote in the elections.

Speed Limits Submissions (Update)

The MHRA committee presented our submissions for reduced speed limits on various roads in the area to council at a hearing on 16 April. The official report from that hearing was presented to full council on 26 June and can be found on the TDC website.
While we found that the roads of concern to us could not be addressed during the current review - they not yet having undergone a consultation process as other locations have - it was noted by council that these "needed to be fully investigated as part of a future speed limit review".
We have since inquired when such a review might next take place and have received word from Cr Brian Ensor that this was being discussed by council staff and could happen "inside the next twelve months".

With the previously mentioned Speed Limits Bylaw Review in process, we have been busy trying to ensure local concerns are heard by council. Based on input from individuals and groups of residents the MHRA has composed and filed three submissions on speed limit restrictions in our area.
These are:
- Old Coach Road - requesting a general speed limit reduction from 100 kph to 70 kph, and a 50 kph school zone [read full submission here]
- Moutere Highway - proposing a speed limit reduction for the section between Upper Moutere village and the Moutere Hills Community Centre from 100 kph to 70 kph in order to calm traffic and enhance road safety both at the community centre entrance and leading up to the village [read full submission here]
- Lower Neudorf Road - requesting consideration of a speed limit reduction on Neudorf Road from Prices Corner to corner of Rosedale Road/Kelling Road from 100 kph to 80 kph, as it is being applied to several comparable local roads in the Ruby Bay/Tasman area [read full submission here]
In addition, a number of local residents have created and filed their own submissions on related issues and locations.
