Kingseat Village

Welcome to the website of Kingseat Village, a small rural settlement in the north of Franklin District, now Auckland Council, New Zealand.

Whatapaka Estuary is a Maori Reserve

Here is the vertabim text of an excerpt from a 1991 issue of the NZ Gazette (official notification bringing regulations into force)

Auckland Council has brought it to light in it's research for the Kingseat Plan Change 28  (development of a village and extensive housing)

This makes clear that Whatapaka Marae has fairly comprehensive rights and control over the entire estuary, and will give them a significant say on the coastal and village development as it affects the estuary.

 

Copper wire thefts

Thieves continue to steal copper wire from power lines in the area.

A pole three poles east of Kingseat Vegies had it's copper earth conductor stolen recently.

Counties Power were promptly on the job, replacing it with a steel conductor with very thin copper sheathing. This should be less attractive to thieves, as it's worth a lot less, and is harder to cut down.

There are over 500 earth wires needing replacement, so the crooks have been very busy.

Kingseat Village Inc Meeting Minutes 16th Dec

Minutes of Kingseat Village Incorporated Society

Meeting No. 13

Date: Wednesday 16 December 2009

Held at Karaka Memorial Hall

New Vege shop opens

Parma Pabla's Kingseat Fruit & Veges new shop has now opened on Linwood Road.

The new shop is a completely new build, to the south east of the old shop.

The old shop was dramatically demolished on the Friday night before the opening, being completely levelled and removed by about 2:00am. 

Regular customers were surprised by the rapid overnight change

The new shop is light and airy, with more room for fruit and vegetable stock. and a larger atmosphere.

Broadband working

Traffic

Yes, Kingseat does have ADSL broadband.

It works, it's reliable and it's fast. I'm getting raw connect speeds of 7,000Kbit downstream, 730Kbit upstream. Throughput is excellent, reaching 300KByte/second at times. Ping latency times are low, around 20milli seconds, which is superb. I have not recorded any outages work time outages since the change over to the new cabinet in late July.

Speed Limit Reminder

Just a reminder to residents that the speed limit on Buchanan and half of McRobbie is 50Km/hr, to many cars are racing down both these road well over this speed limit, and with children frequently in the street on the push bikes ect this is not acceptable, and will be delt with if it continues, Franklin has a race track and buchanan and McRobbie arnt it.

The only Broadband Update you wanted to read

New cabinet is set for switch-over tomorrow morning, Tue 28th July 2009 at 6:00am.

It's taken more than a year! Let's hope it's worth the wait.

Broadband improvements slow to happen

Further update, May 2009

The cabinet is complete, and the cross patch wiring.& asam installed.

It is now awaiting a new fibre feed to the cabinet. The existing 12 core fibre is full. It carries Karaka, Waiau Pa, Clarks Beach and some of Waiuku. The existing fibre is direct-buried, meaning the fibre is just plowed into the ground, and can't be upgraded.
