Shade Sail for Children's Playground

 

 

                                                            The OKRA successfully made a submission to Taupo District Council

                                                            Long Term  Plan (LTP) for the installation of a Shade Sail over the

                                                            playground area adjacent to the OK Community Hall. The cost of the

                                                            Shade Sail and installation was $30K, of which OKRA has committed

                                                            $10K and the balance to be paid out of Council LTP funding.

 

 

Council has accepted a quotation, and installation is to commence shortly. The design of the Shade Sail is  pictured below. Your OKRA Committee are very pleased with this outcome. We believe this is an excellent way of partnering with Council over capital purchases for the long term benefit of the Omori Kuratau Community.”

Omori Kuratau Pest Management Update

Omori/Kuratau Pest Management Report for June 2018 Rats: Based on previous years, June should have been fairly busy month which has averaged between 45 - 60 rats over previous years. However it was not: This June we took out only 34 rats – 
our smallest June tally in 7 years we have been trapping. 21 of the 34 rats taken out were caught on Donated Trap Lines and 9 of these were caught on the South Omori Stream line – the top trap line for June. Stoats: The same as May – 1 stoat and 1 ferret – our second ferret ever. Cats: 12 Cats taken out (15 last year) LONG LIFE LURE TRIAL Our trial with long-life lure trials will start on 7th August when Michael Jackson from Victoria University will be coming up to talk to us all and show us how to house and load the special lures he has developed.
