I would demolish the toilets, and move the hall to that vacated area, leaving the art space and Library where they currently are. The kitchen area could be demolished also and replaced by a concrete pad with the back room of the gallery that currently sits above it held up by pilotis. A new kitchen area could be added onto the side on the relocated hall; it needn't be large or fancy, basically a sink and cupboard/shelf area is required so cups/wine glasses can be washed and stored. Looking at this below from a Waiheke Local Board Meeting in 2018,...

Just an addendum... does anyone know why the council visited the island in the company of Chairman Clews to inspect for asbestos in the Hall complex?

How do you propose to encourage new people to become part of the RRA committee?

I'm always keen on self-determination, with the proviso that safety is paramount, especially in a potentially life-threatening situation. First and foremost I want to see some education around fire hazards; wood/charcoal-fired BBQs, candles, faulty appliances (gas fridges!), fireworks, dry dead vegetation, etc. It's hard to avoid an 'act of god', but careless human behaviour can be curtailed. I also think the rules for Rakino aren't up to scratch. We should have the same fire rules as apply to the conservation islands in the Hauraki Gulf.

"This study was carried out as a desk-top assessment relying on existing reports and informationand no site visit was carried out." Oh my god, Mark, you are correct...

Attached now! It's not too dry..

I just realised I didn't attach the Tonkin and Taylor report... I'd best do that, though engineering reports are dry and unreadable, unless you are an engineer!

Cheers, Emily! 🙂

Thank you Carole! I only just saw your kind comment. 🙂

Thank you, Kevin!
