Time to celebrate Waitakere #39;s unsung heroes
Audrey Chan was one of the citywide award recipients at last year's Waitakere Community Boards Unsung Hero Award.
It #39;s time to recognise those people and organisations that keep our
community ticking by nominating them for the 2010 Waitakere City
Community Boards Unsung Hero Awards.
Now in their third year, the awards are a chance for local people to
celebrate and honour individuals or small groups that have done
something worthwhile in their community.
quot;This is a great way for us to recognise the amazing people in our
community that generously volunteer their time for the benefit of
others, quot; says selection committee chair and
Henderson Community
Board member
Shirley Savage.
quot;It #39;s our chance to say #39;thank you #39; for the many incredible things
they do which often go unrecognised. quot;

Housing Retrofit project gets green light
Policy and Strategy Committee chair Penny Husle says retrofitting homes has big benefits for people's health and wellbeing.
Waitakere City Council has given the green light to
partnering with the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority
(EECA) to deliver the city's housing retrofit project.
Those homeowners who wish to or have already undertaken some form of
retrofitting will be able to apply for a loan from council to carry
out approved retrofitting work.
Homeowners who take up the opportunity will be charged a special
targeted rate to repay the loan, in addition to their rates.
quot;People can already access government funding to contribute towards
clean heating options or to insulate their homes. What our programme
will do is provide the top-up funding to allow homeowners to take it
a step further, quot; says Policy and Strategy Committee Chair
Penny Hulse.
