Council 50%
subsidy further
reduces connection
price for Ruakaka
south residents.
The price of a connection to the Whangarei District
Council’s Ruakaka wastewater system for each
householder in Ruakaka South has come down to just
over $10,000 g.s.t. inclusive. When a Government
subsidy of $6.79 million for this project was announced
in June it was estimated the cost to each householder
would be around $15,000. However, the Whangarei
District Council has since agreed to subsidise the
disposal and treatment component of the cost of this
project by 50%. This Council subsidy will only apply
to householders and will not be extended to the Bream
Bay Motel and the Ruakaka camping ground.
The reticulation scheme would serve 467 residential
properties south of the Ruakaka River Bridge on
Marsden Point Rd., on the side roads Seaview Rd,
Princes Rd., Camellia Ave and Marsh St. and along
Ruakaka Beach Rd., Bream Bay Drive, Slako Crescent,
Kingfisher Court and Garland Rd. as well as the
campground (which is estimated at 48 households) and
the motel (estimated at 8 households).
The houses currently use septic tank systems for
wastewater disposal. The camping ground uses septic
tanks with the addition of settlement ponds to treat its
wastewater.

It would be interesting to know who authorised the
election hoarding of the Mana Party leader and Te Tai
Tokerau MP, Hone Harawira alongside the Bream Bay
Community Trust building on the corner of Takutai
Place and Peter Snell Road, Ruakaka. If the placement
of this hoarding does not amount to an endorsement of
this very controversial and polarizing politician, then it
certainly looks like it. As the Bream Bay Community
Trust purports to offer services to all members of the
Bream Bay community and, no doubt, applies for public
funding on this basis, this would seem to be a rather
foolish move. What next, Labour Party hoardings in
the grounds of Bream Bay College, a National Party
sign on the roof of the Ruakaka Police Station?
The Whangarei District Council’s development of a
Rural Development Strategy seems a bit like trying to
shut the stable door after the horse has bolted. Rural
subdivision has already occurred in some very unlikely
places. The best we can do from here on in is to make
the most of the situation we have.
Small lifestyle blocks don’t necessarily mean land
becomes unproductive. There are many small block
holders who come up with innovative ways to make
their land pay. Those who farm rabbits, worms, alpacas
or goats, grow macadamias, lemons, olives or grapes
might well be pointing the way to the future.
I think the debate between farmers and greenies, that
has stymied earlier attempts by the Council to update
its rural planning rules, should be lifted to a higher
plain. We are all in this together. It is not a matter of
the economy verses the environment. In rural New
Zealand the economy is the environment. If the bush is
destroyed, the land eroded and our streams and rivers
silted up and poisoned with chemicals, then there is no
future here

The first market in the marquee at the Marsden Point Marina (held on Sunday 16 October) has been declared
a success by the organisers who decided to move the Ruakaka market to One Tree Point after it failed to attract
people to its former venue on the grass field behind the Ruakaka Library. Stalls lined the big marquee while
dancers and Zumba exponents entertained. Outside there were pony rides, pizzas and barbequed sausages
fror sale. Above Ngaire Cotton buys flowers from Nerida Hawkins and Tarsha Dean”s stall.
Bream Bay College board chairman asked
to resign.
Rick Stolwerk has stepped down from his position as chairman of the Board of
Trustees of Bream Bay College after he was asked to resign by the other members
of the board.
Rick was recovering from an operation and a spell in hospital last week and did
not attend the board’s October meeting held on Tuesday 11 October. He declined to
make a statement on his position to the Bream Bay News.
Graeme Hargreaves has been voted in as the new board chairman. When questioned
about Rick’s forced resignation Graeme said, “The working relationship between
Rick and Wayne (Wayne Buckland the school’s Principal) wasn’t the best.”
Rick replaced the Reverend Peter Dunn, who until the beginning of this year had
held the position for 11 years . School boards elect their chairperson at the beginning
of each school year.
Boards of trustees serve three - year terms The current board was elected in 2010.
Rick remains a member of the school’s Board of Trustees and is also a member of
the Waipu Primary Board of Trustees.
Solar generation system stolen
from Helmsdale Rd.
An entire solar electricity generating and storage
system including: solar panels, storage batteries,
a power inverter and a petrol generator was
stolen from a house in Helmsdale Rd., Waipu
last month.
The theft occurred somewhere between Monday
19 September and Saturday 24 September and
it is likely that the thief or thieves made more than one trip to the house, as the
owner noticed the generator missing on the Monday but thought his tenants may
have borrowed this for some purpose.
He returned to the property on Saturday 24 after the theft of the system had been
reported to him. While he and his wife were inspecting the loss, a vehicle, similar to
the one pictured, turned up the drive and then backed out again, driving westward
in the direction of Maungaturoto.
The estimated value of the items taken is over $10,000 while re-installation would
cost another $1,500. The house had been running on its own independent electricity
generation system for the past five years.

It makes you realise.
How about as the Bay of Plenty is the main breeding
area for NZ dotterals and there are only 1500 left,
that a big effort is made to ensure the breeding pairs
in the remaining areas have a successful season to
help mitigate the effects of all of that oil. When some
thing like this happens it makes you realise that all of
the breeding sites are critically important.
This could be a good time to invite the support from
the public to give better protection to sea and shore
bird nesting and roosting sites.
Awww imagine a tailing dam collapse in the Kaipara
Catchment. It is definitely on the cards if gold mining
goes ahead North of Whangarei.

Ruakaka Fire Brigade Raffle
By Jeff D’Ath
The
Ruakaka
Fire Brigade recently had this

which we decided to raffle. We
had ticket buyers
from all over our
area and New
Zealand partake
in the raffle. The
Ruakaka Chief Fire Officer Darrell
last wave of buyTrigg congratulating the raffle winers were made
ner Chalky White
up of a pride
ing up to and including the World Cup rugby semi final
between Wales and France.
The princely sum of $400 was raised from the raffle to
go into our “Rescue Gear” account, which is a fund we
continuously work to keep up to purchase equipment
we need which is not funded by the New Zealand Fire
Service.
With all the tickets then being sold we held the draw,
and to the delight of the crowd (of Lions), the winner
was actually present, one “Chalky White” from Auckland. He put his new jacket on (which fitted) and I never saw him take it off either night of their visit.
The Rugby was exciting too, and at the time of writing
there was some disappointment that Wales had failed
to deliver and beat the French , even with a Welshman being given a leaving card the same colour as his
jersey, leaving a team of just 14 to battle most of the
of “Lion members and their partners from all over game. Bah!!

our guests for dinner at the station on the nights lead- the raffle so successful for the Brigade.
Council subsidy
reduces connection
price for residents.
Continued from page 1.
Engineer Fraser Campbell (who is working with the
Council on this scheme) said no formal vote would be
taken amongst affected residents about whether they
wish to proceed with reticulation and pay the $10,000.
Two public information days on the subject at the
Ruakaka Surf Club – the first of these on Saturday10
December from 10.30am to 2pm and the second on
Saturday 7 January starting at 2pm.
Discussions are also ongoing with the Ruakaka Reserve
Motor Camp, Bream Bay Motel and Patuharakeke Te
Iwi Trust Board.
If the council decides to proceed with the scheme, all
households would be required to join and to pay the
$10,000. Residents would be given the options of
paying for the connection with a lump sum or paying it
off over six years at an interest rate of 6%.
Mr. Campbell said he expects the Council to make a
decision about proceeding early in the New Year. If the
go ahead is given, work would begin after July 2012.

the Big Tomato shops on Port Marsden Highway, Ruakaka are Naresh and
Ansu Patel of the Oasis dairy at Ruakaka Beach.
Naresh said that he and Ansu will be forced to stop selling alcohol from
the Oasis store when the Alcohol Law Reform Bill becomes law. This is
expected to happen in March 2012.
Under the new law, district councils will be able to consider “amenity” and
“good order” when they make decisions on granting and renewing liquor
licences and will be able to take into account such matters as likely noise
nuisance and vandalism problems on nearby businesses and residents. As the
Oasis dairy is situated in a residential street at Ruakaka Beach, Naresh thinks
it would be difficult to renew his license to sell alcohol at this location.
The application for the new liquor store was notified on 30 August 2011.
Naresh said the date of the opening for the new liquor store would depend
on when the Whangarei District Council granted a licence.

Only 2 weeks until the Bream Bay fun run and walk those who have the
training sorted, keep up the great work. For those of you who talk about it but
never do it, this is your chance to get your summer started. With a 5km and
10km option almost anyone can do this event. Create successes and cross the
line with your family, friends and neighbours and make your health and fitness

Fitness Tip: Are you sitting there reading this article thinking “I can’t do that”
I am “not fit enough”, “don’t have time” etc. These are called OBSTACLES
and BARRIERS and they often stop us from doing really great things. You
can always find an excuse not to do something, but if you break down the true
obstacles and barriers to your goal you will often find that you can overcome
them. All it takes is a “can do attitude” and “self belief”. Achieving small
things today will give you power for the bigger things tomorrow.

On Saturday 24th September, the Waipu Caledonian
Society held its Sponsorship Dinner at the Caledonian
Hall. The Sponsorship Dinner Sub-committee, Ken
Couper, Fraser Sim and Annie Everson-Dawn have
planned the dinner since June and their efforts paid off.
Approximately 60 invited guests turned up to experience a totally enjoyable evening.
Everyone was greeted at the door with a dram glass of
Athol Brose, which is a Scottish liquor, made for the
occasion by Fraser Sim.
As people gathered and chatted, Bain McGregor entertained with the bagpipes and then when everyone
was seated, the Waipu Pipe Band played several Scottish favourites, followed by four little Scottish dancers,
who performed to the tune of Bain’s bagpipes. The
favourite dance was the Highland Fling, which was
performed without fault.
Several speakers addressed the guests, one of whom
was Richard Guy, who talked about the Barn which is
in the early planning process stage.
The Waipu Caledonian Society is working with the
Waipu Hall Committee and a group representing the
community, chaired by Richard Guy, to ensure that the
resulting building meets as many of the community
needs as possible. Richard also informed the gathering that he felt every dollar raised by the Waipu Community would help the project to raise a further four
dollars from national funding bodies
Richard explained the various steps and funding that
is needed to be completed before the building can be-
gin. He said, this exciting venture would benefit all of
Waipu and the surrounding area, including Whangarei
as the Barn will host many functions, markets, competitions, etc. and its size will accommodate large groups
of people.
The Chairman, Don Ewen, introduced Pat Hellier,
who is well known to Waipu as he is the number one
performer Heavy Weight contestant at the Highland
Games. Pat described his experiences at other games
that he has entered internationally, as well as the enjoyment he experiences at the Waipu Games each year. He
has only missed one game and that was when he attended the Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada
in 1994. Unfortunately he didn’t end up competing, so
he laughingly said he should have come to the Waipu
Games after all!
Pat said that the Waipu Highland Games are well
known and respected around the world by athletes who
compete in world heavy weight competitions.
The evening ended with a lucky ticket draw and a bottle of Drambuie was won by Harold and Mary McIsaac.
Harold is currently the High Commissioner for Clan
Donald in NZ.
Everyone was applauded for attending and resisting
the urge to stay home and watch the ABs trounce the
French.
Please note that the next Highland Games 2012 will be
held on Monday the 2nd January. This is because the
1st January falls on a Sunday.

New student representative
for college BOT.
Year 12 student Makay Crawley has
been elected as Bream Bay College’s
student representative on its Board of
Trustees.
The election took place at the end of
last term amongst the school’s year 9
to 13 students. There were two other
nominations for the position: Laura
Andrews and Ciara Swords.
Makay takes over from Year 13 student
Samantha Ellis, who stood down from
the position on the eve of the election.
Samantha attended the board’s last
meeting with Makay to show him the
ropes.
Makay said the membership of the
Makay Crawley
school board is a “very big position and
I hope I can fill the shoes that Sam has left.”
He said he understood the job to be “representing the school’s students on the board
and taking a student perspective to the board’s meetings.”
It is a tradition that when new members are elected or appointed to the Bream Bay
College board they bring a cake along to the meeting for board members to share
for supper.
Makay said, “I will have to get Mum to help me with this. I am a terrible cook.”
A working group has been formed to advance the cause to the Waipu to Waipu Cove
cycle and walking trail.
The group comprising: Megan Lea, Mark Fuller, Juanita McGoldrick, Don Ewen,
Lyn Jordon, Richard Greaves and Marilyn Cox meets once a month and is looking
into becoming a registered trust so it can apply for funding.
The Whangarei District Council supports the project and has appointed a young
engineer, Daniel Richards to work with the group. Councillor Shelley Deeming also
attends monthly meetings.
On the advice of Brian Plunkett, who has been a major player in the building of a 15
kilometre walking trail in Paparoa, the group has decided to commission a scoping
report looking at the route the cycle way will take, methods of construction, likely
obstacles and approximate costs.
The first stage of the trail has been decided and will run between Waipu township and
Riverview Place – a distance of approximately three kilometres. At the September
meeting Don and Melanie Mitchell who own the farm between the Flagstaff
Subdivision and Waipu said they supported the idea of the cycle and walking trail
and would allow the trail to run over their land.
The project has also gained the support of Waipu Primary Year six students who
wrote letters to the Council urging that the cycle way be built.
On Friday 23 September Deputy Mayor Phil Halse returned to the school to thank
the children for their support for the project. He told them that the Council has taken
notice of their submissions and the Waipu to the Cove cycleway is now part of the
council’s plans.

Jean Dyer’s Garden
A bright red bromeliad perched on a tree trunk
blends in with the garden behind.
I have heard a lot about Jean Dyer’s garden and,
as it will be one of six gardens to feature in this
year’s Marsden Bay Garden Club’s garden visits
on Saturday 29 October, here was my opportunity
to have a look for myself.
When Jean and her husband Lloyd moved to this
two and a half acre section adjoining the Ruakaka
River it was a bare paddock. That was forty - five
years ago and now there are many large towering
trees and the garden is filled with birdsong.
“It’s not all in garden,” says Jean. “Quite a bit of it
goes down to the river.”
Nevertheless this is a large garden and it is
remarkable to think that this sprightly seventy-six
– year - old woman cares for it pretty much on her
own.
The garden has many plots of roses. Jean and
Lloyd were both members of the rose society and
Jean has kept up this interest since Lloyd’s death
23 years ago. At this time of the year the first roses
are just starting to appear. A big dusky pink rose
bud is opening on one bush.
“That’s Silky Mist. It does well for us at the shows,”
Jean says.
Lily ponds at varying levels, so the water flows
down from pond to pond are another feature of this
garden.
Jean explains the connection been goldfish ponds
and roses.
“When we first tried to grow roses here we had
By Marilyn Cox
a lot of trouble with possums. Lloyd came up
with the idea of making a kidney shaped rose
garden and surrounding it with a pond to keep
the possums off.”
As the ground was at different levels this became
two ponds with a narrow bridge across to the
rose garden.
Jean thought the possums would go across the
bridge but for a long time they never did.
When one finally worked out how to get at the
roses, she put a trap on the bridge and caught
him.
She is keeping a close watch on a hollow branch
high up in a Melia or Indian Bead Tree. For the
past two years kingfishers have nested here. A
prospecting kingfisher is showing interest this
spring. We catch a glimpse of turquoise wings
as he takes flight.
Tui also nest in some of the taller trees. As for
blackbirds and thrushes, Jean needs to keep
solid wire-netting hoops over her strawberries
otherwise she wouldn’t get a look in.
The vege garden plot isn’t as large as it was.
“You don’t need so much when there is just one
of you”, says Jean. She uses part of the vege
patch to strike cuttings. There are lots of blue
flowers around to attract bees.
In fact the whole garden is rich with flowers.
Monarch butterflies are present all year around.
There are many special rare plants, not lined
up on a hothouse shelf, but incorporated into
the garden design. The deep red flower spikes
of the Poor Knights lily sit in front of some red
geranium, white cherry blossoms and yellow
daisies.
Jean has the largest Tecomanthe Speciosa vine I
have ever seen.
“Many years ago we put this here beside the
tap so we could keep it watered and it just grew
from there.
A single specimen of this plant was discovered
on Great Island in the Three Kings group during
a scientific expedition there in 1945. No other
specimens have ever been found in the wild.

Organisers hope to top
500 participants at this
year’s Bream Bay Tides
Out fun run and walk
The entries are starting to come in for this year’s Bream Bay Tides Out fun run and
walk.
The organisers are offering a special early bird prize, a pair of running shoes donated
by Smiths Sports Shoes to be chosen from one of the people who get their entries in
by Monday 31 October, less than a week before the event on Sunday 6 November.
In past years the bulk of the entries have come in during the last week. Organiser
Susan McRae says it makes things a lot easier if the completed entry forms arrive
early so all the processing can be done before the last minute panic, which always
occurs before the starting gun fires.
To encourage young people to take part there is a special prize – a skateboard
donated by the Whangarei shop Inferno, which will be given out as a spot prize to
a school student.
There are also special spot prizes for participating family groups.
As usual there is a huge list of spot prizes for participants including: meal vouchers
to the Pizza Barn and to Bream Bay restaurants Waterline and Y/Not, passes to
Northland attractions such as the Kauri Museum, Fullers cruises, the Whangarei
Aquatic Centre, Whangarei 10 Pin Bowling, and Auckland attractions such as
Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World and Rainbow’s End. There are plants donated by
garden centres and books donated by publishing houses, vouchers from SeaChange
Cafe, McDonalds, the Cheesecake Shop and Dominos Pizzas, a night for two at the
Heritage Hotel in Auckland, a family portrait session with professional photographer
Peter Grant, gift packs from Orrs Pharmacy the list goes on and on.
Last year, when the Waipu Primary PTA (Parent Teachers Association) ran the fun
run, there were 499 registered entries. This year the Bream Bay College PTA is
hopeful the number of participants will top 500 for the first time in the event’s eight
year life.
A number of local businesses: Firth Concrete, Northpine, Green Electrical, Marsden
Point Construction, Westpac Bank, Portstar Products and Fresha Valley have made
donations which will cover the costs of running the event so all the entry money
will go towards this years fundraising aim – the upgrade of the Bream Bay College
grounds.
Masseurs from the Northtec training course have been booked as has a bouncy
castle. There will be face painting, raffles, food and drink to make this an enjoyable
day for participants and non participants alike.

North Sawn Lumber - one of this
district’s fastest growing businesses.
Most local people don’t know

“We keep things pretty quiet.

requirements. The treatment process is computer controlled so there is no excess
chemical. The floors where the treated timber is stored to dry after it has passed
through the treatment tanks have bund walls to contain any drips and are solid
seamless concrete.
All treatment operations are subject to independent, third party audit and compliance
and the treatment operations at North Sawn Lumber are recognised as being among
the best in the industry.
Such is his company’s reputation and mode of operation that resource consents to
build the new plant to treat pine timber to a standard for outdoor use (posts and
decking) went through the Northland Regional Council and Whangarei District
Council consent processes without a hitch.
Reliability is another of the company’s strong points.
Garth – “I learned early on that it pays to invest in good machinery. If things break
down and you have down time, that is the real killer.”
One of his business philosophies, which he passes on to his employees, is that they
need to be problem solvers.
“A guy might have twenty problems sitting on his desk and he doesn’t want us
ringing him up with another one. If we can solve one of his problems for him he will
remember us next time around.”
Rather than phoning up a customer with a sticky situation he instructs his staff to
phone up and explain the difficulty but to also say ‘here is a way we can solve it for
you.’
Another service North Sawn Lumber offers is logistics. Timber lots can be sorted
for clients and transported directly to their customers once the treatment process is
complete, making for efficiencies in handling and transportation. Up to 15 truck loads of timber can pass through the site each day so the handling and dispatch of
timber products needs to be well organised.
Once the new plant is complete, it will provide eight more jobs bringing the total
number of people employed at North Sawn Lumber in Ruakaka to 32.
Garth says he employs skilled people who he can confidently leave to oversee the
various operations, while he concentrates on business development.
North Sawn Lumber began in 2001 in Whangarei before moving to Ruakaka. In 2003
most of the company’s operations moved to Ruakaka because it “needed space to
grow.”
In 2007 the company purchased a treatment operation in Mount Maunganui, which
services a number of customers in that region including Carter Holt Harvey.
At present the timber processing and treatment plants take up three hectares of space
leased from Mr. Keith with another 2 hectares available, if and when it is needed.
Garth says John Keith is “a good accommodating landlord. He has helped us out and
has worked with us through the ebbs and flows of business and support like this is
important when a company is growing.”
Does all the negative talk around about the state of the American and European
economies worry him with so much investment at stake?
Garth acknowledges that recent times have been tough. But he leaves the overseas
marketing to his customers and concentrates on providing a good timber processing
service for them.
“Recessions come and go in cycles and things will pick up again. You have to be
ready and waiting, so that when there is an upturn you can take full advantage of it.”

Ruakaka farmers ask - Why should
people living in Whangarei have a
say over how rural land should be
managed?
The travelling road show, which is the Whangarei
District Council’s Rural Development Strategy, came
to the Ruakaka Ratepayers’ Association meeting last
week and received a bit of a barracking from some
Ruakaka farmers who said they “felt insulted” that they
had been left until the last week of the consultation
round.
Peter Batten - “It sounds as if you have been talking to
a lot of people at a higher level and not to us farmers

Melissa McGrath, Council senior planner with the
WDC, said she and her colleagues had come to the
ratepayer meeting on this particular date (Tuesday 11
October) because this is when they had been invited.
The Rural Development Strategy team held a similar
meeting with the Waipu Ratepayer Association on 31
August.
Mr. Batten said the booklet should have been posted
out to all farmers.
Mrs. McGrath said this would have cost too much.

Graeme Finlayson wasn’t happy that people living in
Whangarei would be having a say about “how the rural
area should be.”
Councillor Deeming seemed to agree with him, “They
want the land looked after and they don’t want the
terrible, dirty farmers messing it up but they don’t think
about who is going to do the looking after.”
However she said, “Everybody had been given the
chance to have a say.”
Peter Hope asked if this was the sum total of the public

Councillor Deeming recalled how in 2006, early in her
Lu Cummings - 432 8414
career as a district councillor, there had been attempt by
GIVE
YOUR
G
GARDEN
A BOOST
the Council to develop a Notable Landscapes Policy.
“There was a meeting at Forum North with forty angry
farmers who had suddenly found that lines had been
drawn over their properties.”
The Council had learned from this experience and was
trying to be very careful and thorough as it introduced
the rural strategy.
Comments on the consultation booklet were due at the
council last week, however, Councillor Deeming, who
chairs the WDC’s Environmental Services Committee
(which deals with planning issues) said if people
wanted to send in their comments later than this they
would still be considered.
Mr. Williamson said one of the important issues the
rural development strategy would be seeking to address
was the proliferation of lifestyle blocks.
He said his brother was a milk tanker driver for Fonterra
and he had been out on a run with him.
“There might be thirty lifestyle blocks on a rural road.
There are people out pushing prams and walking their
dogs. They don’t expect to see a milk tanker driving up
the road.”
“Lifestylers come into a farming
area and stop farmes using sprays
and bugger up a good operation.”
Don Fraser – said lifestylers “come into a farming area
and stop farmers using spray and bugger up a good
operation.”
However, another farmer, Graeme Finlayson said
farmers should be able to subdivide if that was the only
way they could get a good return on their land.
Mr. Williamson asked, “Should we be planning for the
productive use of fertile land in the rural area and just
letting lifestylers have the leftovers. Should we have
special lifestyle zones? Where should they go? Should
they be close to town or far away from town?”
He said while the council couldn’t control how people
used their land, it could make things very difficult
and expensive if it didn’t want things to happen in a
particular zone.
Five years ago Environment Court Judge J. Newhook
imposed a 20 - hectare minimum lot size rule on coastal
countryside and countryside zones in the Whangarei
District as a holding measure until the Whangarei
District Council put in place planning controls to
protect landscape, bio-diversity, land productivity and
amenity values in its rural areas.
In the face of opposition from some landowners, who
did not want additional controls on the use of their land,
the council backed away from the Landscape Review it
attempted in 2006.
The fourteen relevant issues identified in the Rural
Development Strategy consultation booklet are:
• Rural economy, commerce and industry • Rural
settlements, character and sense of place • Open space
and recreation • Subdivision and land use • Landscapes
• Indigenous vegetation and bio-diversity • Heritage
• Reverse Sensitivity • Transport • Minerals and
aggregates • Network utilities • Contaminated sites •
Hazards • Energy.

Support service for the families
of people affected by mental
illness.
A free support service for the families of people affected by mental illness now
holds regular clinics at the Bream Bay Community Trust. The next clinics will
be held on Wednesday 9 November and Wednesday 7 December from 10am to
midday. Appointments are preferable but not essential.
Francil Tarau- Eagle said Supporting Families in Mental Illness is a service that
supports family (whanau), work colleagues and friends who look after someone
affected by mental illness. The service is mobile, independent and confidential.,
“We can visit you in the home, at a mutual setting i.e. at a café, in our office at
4 Donald Street, Regent, Whangarei or at the Bream Bay Community Support
Trust.”
Francil said, the service can offer help in understanding mental illness and how it
can be treated. It can assist in identifying and contacting mental health services,
preparing for meetings to ensure that your views are heard and give tips on how to
best support your friend or family member.
Francil said Supporting Families in Mental Illness is also a place where families
can vent their frustrations, either over the phone or in a meeting, and also provides
a support group where families with something in common come together and
discuss some of their issues.
The service is also considering holding a clinic in Waipu.
For any further information, phone 430 3844 or ring 0800 732 825 and speak to
someone at the organisation’s head office who will refer you to someone from the
Whangarei office. You can also email: [email protected] or find out more
