Application for Stop Work Notice.

Te komiti o te Kaitiaki o Opourua me Araaka me Hauai have requested that the Far North District Council issue Julian Batchelor with a Stop Work Notice and Abatement Notice and ensure that he ceases the works and developments he is carrying out on the property at 147 Rawhiti Road at Hauai because of serious damage to the surrounding environment and the effect of this damage on the local people, as well as breaches of Far North District Council bylaws.



Above is an image on Mr Julian Batchelor's slick website, this is one example of the scope of Mr Batchelor's plans for not only the land he occupies, which is under Treaty claim and should have been returned to iwi by the former occupier as Mr Batchelor is well aware, but his plans to control access to and exclusive use of everything in sight including the track to Rakaumangamanga which currently under Department of Conservation management.  Mr Julian Batchelor has also taken the liberty of renaming everything in sight too, including our maunga tapu Rakaumangamanga (which he and others refer to as "Cape Brett"), our moana, Opourua, which he (and others) have renamed "Oke Bay", among other taonga and cultural heritage.  Not only is this disrespectful in the extreme, it would seem to be illegal.  The recent earthworks certainly are.

Julian's dodgy land acquisition - first attempt to bribe the occupier and the judge, then petition parliament to overturn the decision of the Court

This is Julian Batchelor's account of how the whenua he currently occupies at Rawhiti was acquired. This account is biased and prejudiced, and inaccurate and misleading. It can be seen that the acquisition involved attempts to bribe an upstanding Judge, the advantage of superior legal resources to achieve a desirable outcome regardless of right, and the last resort, the use of a petition to the parliament (signed by one person) to overturn the Court decision in order to achieve a blatantly unjust advantage and repugnant to the laws of natural justice for indigenous owners.

Tena koutou, emails recently received from the Far North District Council provide further information, but not much.  Still incredibly vague and inadequate: 18 February 2016 Tena koe Katherine, Further to my last message concerning 4 outstanding items of information, Mr Batchelor has recently met with Council staff and agreed to try and find the Public Liability insurance policy for you. I have some details of the road repair in 2013 and attach a plan showing the position of road repair, a photo showing the damaged road prior to repair, and retaining wall then constructed on the seaward side of the road. I have reminded monitoring staff that I still need to hear from them about the possible marine pollution. Regards, Detlef Davies Local Government Lawyer Far North District Council ________________________- 18 February 2016 Tena koe Detlaf, Thank you for this information. 1.  Has Mr Batchelor provided any of the information requested in the letters to him from the ...

On Julian Batchelor's profile at Barfoot and Thompson Julian says he is the director of a Christian charity.  There seems to be some discrepancy regarding the ownership of the land, the put it mildly.  Te komiti asks the hard questions:  Email sent to Grant Rose, the manager of the Greenhithe branch of Barfoot and Thompson on Tuesday 2 February 2015: Tena koe Mr Rose, I spoke with your wife Michelle yesterday regarding the issue of Mr Julian Batchelor's advertised Christian charity which is included in his Barfoots profile (copy attached).  We are reviewing Mr Batchelor's compliance and consultation with hapu and tangata whenua following recent concerns regarding developments on a property which Mr Batchelor claims is owned by a Christian charity, and variously Mr Batchelor claims that the property is owned by a limited liability private company in his applications to local government. We would appreciated it if you would please provide all information h...
