Lakeweed Control Work at Lake Maraetai
Week beginning 20 April
Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) will be carrying out weed spraying at Lake Maraetai
in the week beginning 20 April to control the lakeweed hornwort.
This work will involve a helicopter spraying weed beds with the herbicide diquat. The
spraying will take place in an area of the lake offshore from Mangakino.
Diquat has been used in New Zealand lakes for more than 50 years as a safe, efficient and
cost effective method of weed control. The concentration of diquat used for this work is
less than the rate of chlorine used in swimming pools. Scientific studies have shown that
there are no detrimental effects on water, fish or people.
As a precautionary measure only, LINZ advises the community not to use this area of the
lake while spraying is underway, or to take water from around the treatment area to
consume or for irrigation until 24 hours after treatment has been completed.
Signs will be placed at authorised public boat ramps before the treatment begins and will
be removed 24 hours after treatment. There will also be staff patrolling this area of the
lake shoreline while the work is underway, advising residents and lake users of progress.
If you have any questions about this activity, please contact LINZ’s Biosecurity Project
Manager Marcus Girvan on 0800 638943 or marcus.girvan@boffamiskell.co.nz.

Police Community Report – April 9th 2015
This week it appears to have been a traffic focused week. We still keep one eye on the
thieves too, remembering that thieves use the roads as well so we certainly come across
them easily. Several locals have recently had their licences suspended for excess demerits
and not only does traffic offending hurt the wallet, it takes away simple freedoms such as
the ability to freely drive a car. The common theme is that it is the driver’s fault their
demerits have risen, some are slow learners. We are aware of a few other stupid drivers
and will punish them when we catch them involved in unsafe or idiotic behaviour.
On Friday we had to educate a visitor to town about how to drive sensibly. Making a car
slide sideways to show off cost this man his car, several fines and a Court appearance. The
worst part of it is that he was a suspended driver and should not have been in the driver
seat in the first place.
As a reminder to parents and caregivers, please make sure your young ones have plenty to
do these holidays. We do not need to see them wandering the streets because as we know,
boredom is the beginning of mischief. We have so far been impressed with the behaviour
of the youths in the town and have had very few reports about them.
Remember if you see anything suspicious or wish to let us know about vehicles with
unrestrained children, you can do so anonymously by calling crime stoppers on 0800 555
111. To call our office it is 07 882 9070 (office hours only). For all noise complaints call
882 8700 (during office hours) or 0800 275 832 (after hours). In emergencies dial 111.
For traffic complaints call *555. Until next week, stay safe.
