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.
The Tasman Area Community Association is organising community planting days which will help raise money towards the new Tasman Community Pool (at Tasman School). See below for more information and planting dates.
The folks at Tasman Bay Estates have joined forces with Tasman Area Community Association and the Tasman Environmental Trust to organise some community planting days.
You’ll get a first look at the new reserve and clifftop walkway planned on the Tasman Bay Estates site that will give public access to this part of the beach for the first time.
And for every tree or shrub you plant, Tasman Community Pool will receive $1 from Tasman Bay Estates!
TDC is currently performing a survey of all water connections on the Dovedale Rural Water Scheme.
The survey aims to collect data on types of water use and total numbers of residents connected to the scheme. Obtaining this data is essential for making decisions on the future development of the scheme.
If you are connected to the Dovedale Water Scheme then PLEASE complete the survey.
All users of the scheme should by now have received an email notification to complete the survey online, and a written survey form as well which can be used to send the answers in by mail.
Council has so far received response from only 42% of users which is not near enough data for planning. So if you are on the scheme - whether with a rental or your own property - and have not yet completed the survey, please do it now.
If you know somebody who is connected to the scheme but has not yet heard of the survey, please let them know they can contact council to get signed up by email - or go directly to the survey website to complete it online.
