Coastal Erosion Committee - A sub-commitee of the Haumoana Ratepayers has been formed to investigate positive ways to stop the erosion and degradation of properties in Haumoana, Te Awanga and Clifton. More Info here>>

Upcoming events:

Membership Drive: Membership numbers are important to have a loud voice when lobbying local council on issues such as rubbish collection, erosion etc.

Beach Clean Up: From time to time our beach gets littered with empty cans, empty bottles, empty sandwhich wrappers, empty bags, and full nappies. On May 31st we are having a clean up session. We will be meeting at the groyne between 9 and 9.30 on Sunday, May 31st. The clean up will take a couple of hours and be followed by a sausage sizzle lunch. Gloves, rubbish bags and sausages will be provided. Come along and take pride in our environment.

Mid-winter bonfire and sculpture competition: Our annual mid-winter get together is scheduled for the Winter Solstice, June 21st. A bonfire at the Groyne with sculpture building throughout the afternoon, twilight judging, great prizes and a barbecue. The cancellation date for this event should it be really windy is June 28th.

Lemon Day: In Spring we will be holding our 4th annual lemon day. Last year we had 225 eentries in the Bridge to Rivermouth race - what an amazing turnout.
