Retaining wall collapses, road falls into the sea and more trees cut down:

This is the situation on the property in September when the komiti began actively recording the damage and looking into the situation regarding Mr Julian Batchelor's resource consents.  The retaining wall collapsed, several kauri trees and other vegetation had been removed and this was just the beginning of what was to come.

The road also collapsed into the sea directly in front of Julian Batchelor's collapsed retaining wall at the same time.

During the next six weeks or so Mr Batchelor - a real estate agent who knows the rules but chooses to ignore them, went ahead with further major works without consent from the Far North District Council, without consulting hapu or iwi, and in breach of the bylaws.

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...
