I want to cover two topics: first, the Greytown Water Treatment Plant consultation we are doing this month and then SUIP’s which have been a topic of conversation over the last month or so.
Firstly, 30 percent of Greytown’s water supply comes from a bore in Soldiers Memorial Park.
That bore/treatment plant are in poor condition and needs to be replaced. Consequently all ratepayers connected to our water supply/treatment plants will contribute to the funding of this project either via a District targeted rate, (Martinborough, Featherston and Greytown ratepayers) or a Local targeted for Greytown ratepayers.
There are three options on where the new bores/treatment plant should be placed in Greytown and Council need your input on where they should go, taking into consideration the costs for each option.
The first option within Memorial Park, where a new bore will be drilled and the water treatment plant with an estimated cost between $3.3m to $4m. The cost is between $66 and $80 per ratepayer, per year either by a District targeted rate or a mix of District targeted rate.
A District targeted rate means that all ratepayers across the whole South Wairarapa connected to town water supply will pay towards this project. … Continue Reading

The tournament at the Carterton Club attracted 37 players from as far away as Auckland, Rotorua, Waitara, Wanganui and Wellington, as well as club members from the Martinborough, Featherston and Masterton clubs, and some ‘independent’ players.
“We were delighted that Glenys Hansen of our Martinborough Scrabble Club, who was competing in her first ever scrabble tournament, won 2nd prize on both tournament days in her D (for debut) grade,” said organiser Vicki Jones.
It was also a great weekend for David Robinson of Carterton, who easily won first place in the same grade in the Sunday tournament. Fran Lowe of Featherston won 3rd prize in the C grade on Saturday. … Continue Reading
Martinborough golfers say it’s hard to believe that just over 12 months ago they were still in the old clubhouse _ “and now we have a spectacular new building.” “To get where we are today has meant a huge fundraising effort and amazing support from members: we couldn’t have done …
We start at the end of the month, when the annual Baabraa Trophy between Martinborough and Eketahuna was fought out on a glorious Sunday in Martinborough. A field of 70 played a stableford round and the average stableford points for the two clubs were calculated. Eketahuna scored an average …
