TE PAE TATA
Making
a stand
against
meth
A hui is planned for next week with the aim of
making a stand against the drug methamphetamine.
Karen Baker from ‘Detect It’, Detective Nicky
Schrafft and It’s Not OK advocate Phil Paikea will be
sharing their experiences about the drug invading many
regions, including the Ruapehu, at Te Pae Tata next
Monday.
Ruapehu Whānau Transformation (RWT) operations
manager Danielle Vaughan said the idea for the hui
came out of the last RWT community reference group
meeting.
“A number of different groups and agencies were
raising their concern about the dramatic increase of
meth-related issues in our area.
“Instead of working individually, we decided that
we can make a better impact through forming an action
group of heath and support agencies to collaborate
together – this is the whole premise of the Ruapehu
Whānau Transformation plan; to bring people together
to make a difference.
“It’s also a way of finding out who is doing what
in the Ruapehu region, where there may be additional
support needed and to also minimise any duplication
of services.”
During the implementation of Te Whare Āhuru
Ki Ruapehu, the RWT team are working alongside
a number of homeowners in Raetihi, Ohākune and
Waiouru to ensure the properties are safe and warm.
“Everyone knows it’s out there but like the rest of
the country, we need to make a stand and realise there
is an issue.
“We are currently doing 101 building warrant of
fitness audits and, with all the publicity about issues
with meth in housing, RWT were looking at testing
options.
“We realised that if we did find any positive readings
we needed to have wrap-round support for our whānau.
“It is ok to talk about this problem and seek support,
but if we do get asked, how as a community can we
support our families? We have to be better educated as
a whole community to be able to help each other.”
Whether a personal or community/agency related
interest, everyone is welcome to attend the hui on 1
August between 4pm-6.30pm at Te Pae Tata.
For more information call Mrs Vaughan on 021 811
670.
A veggie medley takes shape
Sculptor Mike Walsh works on shaping the head of a carrot caricature on Friday – one of the ‘famous five’ vegetables
that will feature at the Rochfort Park Big Carrot project later this year. Mike – well-known in Auckland for his years of
work on parade floats and other promotion projects – is creating the caricature creatures which include a Brussels
sprout, a potato, a parsnip and a swede as well as the obligatory carrot.
Little big air
on the snow
Noah Harto, from Raetihi, placed 6th in her age group in the Mini Big Air contest at
Whakapapa last week.
Ohakune's Full Service Property Managers
Flying through the air with tricks on
the way was the order of the day for
kids at Happy Valley, Whakapapa last
week as part of the school holiday Mini
X Games.
Skiers and boarders up to age 12
showed off their best trick on a purposebuilt jump, with judging based on
height, distance and style.
Mt Ruapehu events staff said it was
an “awesome event”.
“There were so many talented kids
showing us their skiing and riding
skills.”
The free event, which included a day
of boarder cross and skier cross races
and a day of mini-big-air, was promoted
as “ideal for kids new to competition
events on the snow”.
See Page 15 for results.
From holiday houses to long term rentals, the team at Ruapehu Chalet Rentals
will professionally, and with care, manage your property; removing the stress and
worry of protecting your investment.

“Corrections values the
commitment of our community work agency sponsors like Stuart Shaw of
the Te Peka Trust,” says
Taumarunui Community
Corrections service manager Frank Mariu.
“Stuart’s passion and
commitment have rubbed
off on the offenders he
manages, with many saying they enjoy the work
and how meaningful it is
to them.
“Work at the reserve
involves clearing bush,
maintaining the walkway, building steps and
developing the walkway
to enhance it as a public
attraction.
“Offenders
have
given back to their local
community and learnt
some new skills along the
way.”
Te Peka Trust manages
projects at the Te Peka
Reserve and Lookout,
located at the northern end
of Taumarunui. The Trust
has been a community
work agency sponsor
for approximately seven
years. Mr Shaw and his
team manage up to three
offenders on placement at
any one time.
Mr Shaw also served
the community for several
years as a Ruapehu District
councillor.

commissioner
Paul
Tomlinson
presented
Stuart with the award at
Taumarunui Community
Corrections on Thursday.
The awards are a
way for Corrections to
acknowledge individuals
or organisations with an
outstanding commitment
to providing meaningful,
challenging projects that
allow offenders to make up
for their offending, learn
new skills and behaviours,
and provide role models to
make a positive difference
to others.
Corrections
manages
offenders to hold them to
account to comply with
their sentences and orders,
reduce their likelihood of
re-offending,
minimise
their risk to others, and help
them become productive
and contributing members
of society.
Online options for Ruapehu business
The local council wants to get all
Ruapehu businesses and organisations
online and making the most out of the
opportunities the internet offers.
As part of this drive Ruapehu District
Council has organised ‘Loading Ruapehu
Week’ (1-5 August) with a series of social
media for business workshops, which
includes the release of an inspirational
video featuring Ruapehu businesses
successfully using social media and the
internet, and the offer of a free hosted web
page for all Ruapehu businesses.
RDC environmental planner Lauren
Gram said that these activities were part
of the Digital Enablement Plan (DEP)
that was submitted to government in
September last year, advocating for
Ruapehu to be included in the next round
of government’s broadband investment
rollout.
“The DEP needed to show how
Council would support our communities
with getting connected and enable them
to reap the benefits of improved internet
services,” she said.
“The Social Media Workshops are
designed to do just this and help give local
businesses the practical skills they need to
get online and take full advantage of the
opportunities and benefits this brings.”
They are being held in Taumarunui
(Council Chambers 2 August), National
Park (The Park 3 August) and Ohakune
(Council Chambers 4 August) all starting
at 6.30pm.
“The inspirational video featuring
Ruapehu businesses succeeding through
social media and internet use has been
produced to help encourage others to
do the same and contains a range of
different enterprises including; farm
based specialty products, iwi, tourism and
retail.”
“People will be able to see how being
online is helping these enterprises to
be more effective and successful and
hopefully be inspired to do the same.”
Ms Gram said that in addition Council
is offering all Ruapehu businesses and
organisations a free hosted web page on
Ruapehu’s AboutUs website.
“For anyone who isn’t yet online, or
even if they have their own website, they
should take advantage of this opportunity.”
“AboutUs provides a free online presence along with
lots of helpful advice on how to best use the internet to
increase sales, reduce costs and grow the bottom line.”
More information on Loading Ruapehu Week can
be found on ruapehudc.govt.nz or alternatively call
Ms Gram or Samantha Arthur-Curtis via local Council
offices.

a table of diners from Ruapehu Alpine Lifts (pictured) joined
by over 80 locals and visitors in celebrating the Māori New
Year. Led by Luana Akapita, on Friday the talented chefs from
Maungārongo Marae served a number of traditional Māori
dishes including kau horopito (horopito grilled beef), toroī
(cooked mussels and silverbeet) and kānga wai pungarehu
(traditional or corn prepared in ashes with cream). In keeping
with the local theme, throughout the evening guests were also
treated to the music of band Common Unity who performed a
number of sets ‘unplugged’.

TLC grief
• I have read with interest your recent articles on
the pricing methods of The Lines Company and of the
excessive grief it brings.
I do not agree with TLC’s pricing method. Taking six
usage peaks in winter and applying that to determine the
charge for the rest of the year is questionable. This is akin
to asking me to find my warmest, heaviest winter clothes
and being told to wear them all year.
But if TLC will rigidly keep to its method of ‘peak
monitoring’ for determining the next year’s monthly
charge, could I suggest: TLC find my six peaks in winter
this year and then bill me the following year for my
winter monthly usage, then find my six peaks in summer
and bill me for my summer months.
It is illogical (unethical?) to say that those winter peak
times also apply in spring, summer and autumn months,
which are producing less load.
When I came to Ohakune in 2004 I paid about $35 for
‘lines’ contribution. At that time there was ‘load control’
and several blackouts. Since TLC took over, I still have
‘load control’ and there are still blackouts, but I now pay
up to $104.12 for the same ‘delivery’ service, depending
on my winter usage. Shouldn’t a new company look at
what it buys, fix it, and price accordingly? I have been
paying, monthly, for about 10 years of no improvements
from TLC.
Since Ohakune is not likely to go away, TLC could get
a substantial loan, given the present cheapish bank rates,
and fix the infrastructure and finish with ‘load control’
forever? I would happily pay, according to my yearly
usage of power, a fee to help pay for the loan.
I also noticed with intense interest the 15 July National
Business Review’s article on TLC headed “Stupid is as
Police File

Stupid Does.” Is there a suggestion here, from a financial
expert, T Hunter, that TLC might be making some
questionable management decisions?
Could it be time to abandon the current pricing model?
Often a step backward is a good step forward and
admission of failure is seen as a strength.

Editor’s note: this letter is abridged. (letters are

The starting gun
• So the starting gun has sounded and the race is on
to see who will form our new councils this October.
But before we make our choices let us hope we have
a positive campaign of ideas that will guide us in our
choices and help us elect councillors who will address
long-standing problems and put in place planning and
infrastructure that will serve not only ourselves but
coming generations.
Climate change, urbanisation, regional population
shifts and ageing and the substantial likely effects
on local economies, stewardship of biodiversity and
freshwater, the impact of changes in work, equality
and social cohesion are the long-term challenges we
face. To face those challenges we need a broader civic
participation, together with much higher degree of
engagement between regional and district councils,
councillors and their communities. Anything less will
simply pass on our problems of local governance to our
children and grandchildren.
When you cast your vote this election make sure we
are all up to the task ahead.

Obituary ~ Dennis Beytagh
The founding editor of the Bulletin
was farewelled at the Ohakune Club on
Thursday 7 July.
Dennis Arthur Leo Beytagh was born in
Shanghai in November 1924.
One of his schoolmates at Cathedral
School in Shanghai, J G Ballard, became
the subject of a Steven Spielberg film,
Empire of the Sun, Ballard’s semiautobiographical story of his capture in
Shanghai and imprisonment in Japan
through WW2.
In 1935 the family fled ahead of the
imminent Japanese invasion, settling
in Vancouver, then England. Dennis
completed his schooling at Kingham
School in the Cotswolds.
In 1942 he joined Royal Navy, served
in Normandy and later joined the Royal
Indian Navy, where he developed a love
of Indian cooking, later offering Ohakune
residents regular banquets at his ‘Curry
Club’.
He started on the destroyer HMS
Stevenstone, patrolling the English
Channel and seeing action against
German E-boats, afterwards taking on his
officer training.
He served as a Midshipman on the
destroyer HMS Versatile in the North
Atlantic escorting convoys and chasing
U-boats, then in the Mediterranean.
During the D-Day operation, HMS
Versatile patrolled the length of all the
sectors of the Normandy invasion.
In 1944, he transferred to the Indian
Navy, serving on the HMIS Shillong in
the Bay of Bengal.
Arts training
After the war he trained at London’s
Central School of Arts and Crafts, then
worked in London from 1949 until 1955
for industrial designers Raymond Loewy
Associates, then advertising agency
Colman Prentice & Varley. He worked on
freelance book jacket design and taught at
St Martins School of Art, Regent Street
Polytechnic, Hammersmith School of Art,
and Brighton College of Arts and Crafts.
He also designed furniture, with his
work featuring in Vogue Magazine.
In 1955 he and his wife fled England
with their three young children, to escape
facing a post-WWII atomic cold war
conflict.
They sailed on the RMS Rangitane to
Wellington, were worked with advertising
agency J Inglis Wright, then Goldberg
Advertising.
He began freelance design and
illustration
work
for
numerous
organisations including AW&AH Reed,
Albion Wright, National Publicity
Studios, also RALTA product design.
His was the era of poster colour,
gouache and watercolour on art boards
with overlays.
His well-known poster from the time
promoted New Zealand’s tourist delights
to weary London commuters – described
as a feel-alive mix of good humour and
acute observation, an image that was his
own view of an adopted country.
The family built a house in Roseneath,
Wellington, with Dennis also working part
time at The Dominion on the night shift,
wrapping and packing the next morning’s
paper, then delivering 400 copies each
morning in a Morris Minor convertible.
The car choice was ideal because, with
the hood down, he could throw the papers
from the road while steering with his
knees. He kept to this daily routine for six
years.
Book cover designs
He designing dust jackets for numerous
books including Janet Frame’s Owls Do
Cry and covers for the New Zealand
School Journal.
His masthead designs included one for
the New Zealand Listener.
He designed book tokens for the
National Booksellers Association every
year, with a fresh approach every time.
Much of his work is lodged with
the Alexander Turnbull Library, with
his designs described as outstanding
for its combination of sophisticated
draughtsmanship, charm and vigour.
In 1960 he became involved with what
became Wellington Polytechnic design
diploma programme.
In 1972 he became design editor of the
Australian edition of the Readers Digest
Repair Manual for three years, returning
to Wellington and teaching.
He returned to Sydney and Readers
Digest in 1980, then in 1982 returned to
New Zealand and moved to Ohakune.
With the advent of computer technology
in graphics … “and slightly failing
eyesight” he switched to writing, reporting
for the Turangi and Ruapehu Chronicle
and in 1983 became the founding editor
of the Waimarino Bulletin, later Ruapehu
Bulletin.
His meticulous attention to detail was
renowned and is shown in an article in the
first-ever Waimarino Bulletin on how they
chose the name.
He lists all the alternate titles used in
New Zealand, starting with ‘News’, then
‘Times’, all the way down to ‘Sentinel’.
There were no ‘Bulletin’ newspapers.
Dennis Beytagh.
Founding publisher John Sandford recalls that Dennis
was paid a modest allowance for the use of his car. He
asked for a little more if his “little station wagon” was
sign-written. John said he didn’t think the faded red,
partially rusty, clapped-out van presented the image they
wanted.
“Dennis accepted that decision with his usual good

Power company makes
farming waves
Local power company
King Country Energy
(KCE) is making waves in
the farming community by
bringing back good oldfashioned ‘face-to-face’
communication.
KCE is the only power
company to establish a
‘Key Accounts Team’
based in the King
Country, totalling five
staff, dedicated solely to
meeting the electricity
needs of large farm and
business customers.
And according to Key
Account manager Laura
Knowlson, the response
from farmers has far
exceeded expectations.
“Members of our Key
Accounts team regularly
visit our large farm and
business customers across
the King Country. The
positive feedback we have
received from customers is
overwhelming,” she said.
“Our
face-to-face
service is what seems to
stand out most. We drive
out to our customer’s farms
to assess all their sites
and connections and help
simplify their electricity

friendly approach is what
makes us stand out from
other large businesses.”
Farming
customers
have also commented on
the benefits of KCE being
available to them on a
priority Key Accounts
phone line.
“It’s
the
personal
relationship we have with
our KCE Key Account
Manager that has made it a
good experience. If I have
a problem, I can call her
anytime and she’s there,”
one customer said.
Laura said the team
was set up because KCE
recognises
the
rural
community has more
complicated
electricity
needs
than
standard
residential customers.
“We will continue to
provide this service to
them for as long as they
feel it’s valuable.”

to farms, homes and
businesses throughout the

Ill-equipped Crossing hikers
putting their lives in danger
T
hree overseas tourists were
helped off the Tongariro Alpine
Crossing on Friday after they
found themselves in difficulties on ice.
Police received a call at around 11am
from a Slovenian couple in their midtwenties on the Crossing.
After starting the Crossing from the
Ketetahi Hut end, they negotiated around
the Blue Lake where they encountered
ice. They both slipped and fell into the
North Crater but thankfully did not suffer
any injuries.
The pair was able to walk to the Emerald Lakes where they called Police for
help, advising they could not continue
due to icy conditions.
While the pair had adequate clothing
with them, they did not have any equipment such as an ice axe or crampons.
There was low cloud covering and the
Greenlea Rescue Helicopter, with Land
Search and Rescue (LSAR) personnel
and a paramedic on board, could not
reach the couple.
Two Department of Conservation
(DoC) staff members based at Mt Ruapehu set out on foot to assist, along with
LSAR rescuers.
The rescuers found the couple safe and
well and the group began the walk out
to Oturere Hut. They then came across
a man in his late twenties, from China,
who was using rocks to cut steps in the
ice to climb Oturere Valley.
Rescuers used their equipment to help
them reach Oturere Valley where they
were picked up by the helicopter and
flown to Mangatepopo Road, with no
injuries.
The helicopter then flew back to pick
up the rescuers.
Unprepared
Taupo Senior Constable Barry Shepherd says he is concerned for the safety
of anyone going on the Crossing without
adequate equipment, including the large
number of tourists.
“Locals have to ensure they are giving tourists good advice as they may not
fully appreciate the extreme conditions
this part of the country can experience.
“The mountain was very busy (on
Friday) with lots of people under the
supervision of guided tours who know
the area well and do a great job. I would
encourage more people, especially visitors to the area, to seek advice from these
people before attempting the Crossing
alone.”
Constable Shepherd says the group
was very lucky in this case.
“Thankfully all three tourists are safe
and well, however the day could easily
have turned out very differently.
“Going out in New Zealand wilderness
without proper equipment is a recipe for
disaster. The conditions can change rapidly and while you start out with sunshine
and clear skies, if the cloud comes over
the snow can freeze making conditions
very slippery without proper equipment.
“People are very seriously putting
their lives in danger by not having the
proper equipment with them,” says Constable Shepherd.
He said anyone going hiking should
seek advice from experienced locals,
ensure they have adequate clothing and
food and make sure they have the necessary equipment on them.

Ruapehu’s newest
hi-tech learning facility
TE PAE TATA
Ambitious project takes shape
Ruapehu Whānau Transformation’s
(RWT) most ambitious and visionary solution yet has come to fruition with the
doors opening at Te Pae Tata, a community learning and tech hub in the old senior block at the back of Ruapehu College.
Exactly three years ago Ngāti Rangi,
with the assistance of a Community Reference Group (CRG) made up of people
from all walks of life in Raetihi, Ohākune
and Waiouru, launched a 23-step plan
aimed at helping all those living in the
shadow of Mount Ruapehu flourish.
With a number of the solutions already
implemented, RWT implementation manager Erena Mikaere-Most said Te Pae
Tata is their biggest, most ambitious project to date.
“Through the RWT research our statistics highlighted that across all three towns
we have low qualification attainment
levels when compared to the national average especially at the higher end (bachelors and above).
“Couple this with the fact that the better
qualified you are, the better life outcomes
you can potentially achieve, we needed to
do something to help encourage a positive
change.
“Te Pae Tata takes care of two of our
23 solutions in one go, the first was
about having a community learning
centre, a place where anyone can come
to for predominately post-school learning
opportunities.
“Whether this is enterprise training,
one-off courses, degrees, pretty much
anything our whānau want to learn, or do
to up-skill themselves.”
Dramatic advances in technology over
the last decade now mean the opportunity
to study is available to those living
outside the major centres but only if they
have access to the technologies needed.
“We have whānau who are in the CRG
who’ve rangatahi in their families that
would go away to university and find out
they couldn’t flourish for a number of
different reasons.
“So instead of finishing their studies
they would just pull out, come home and
not continue studying even if they could.
“With the advances in technology they
can now do them from home here in the
Ruapehu and we wanted to have a space
where people can get dedicated support
with others who can help motivate them

The Ruapehu Whānau Transformation Plan’s biggest solution has launched with a
number of low-cost or fee-free technology programmes starting at Te Pae Tata next
week.
The new open education and conference facility provides the space and opportunity
to help grow Ruapehu learners, creators and leaders including free access to high-speed
fibre internet, computers and a relaxing breakout space, between 8.30am and 5pm.
The first round of educational programmes are starting next week at the Ruapehu
community learning and tech hub housed at the back of Ruapehu College in Ohākune.
For tamariki and rangatahi, an eight-week course covering computer science basics,
coding and an introduction to robotics starts on Monday along with a more advanced,
exploratory class, learning to solve problems utilising technology beginning on Tuesday.
Both programmes cost $10 a session.
Whether wanting to learn how to use a computer or the internet, gain help with
extramural study or see what post-school learning opportunities are available, Tuesday’s
drop-in sessions for adults are free and open to anyone in the community.
Also housed at Te Pae Tata is a fully functioning conference centre and meeting
rooms, which are all available for rent.
With the ability to host up to 120 seated guests, or 300 standing, with a two-metre
video wall, this conference space has been purpose-designed to include some of the
latest in technology.
Three other smaller meeting rooms are also available on a daily basis and can cater
to up to 40 people.
To book a place in any of the community tech programmes or find out more
information on any of the facilities available at Te Pae Tata, call Hub administrators

Over the last year teams of local volunteers
both young and old have been working to help
complete Te Pae Tata – the new community
learning and technology hub in Ohākune.
With the first round of Computer Science
programmes for all ages starting next week,
Ngāti Rangi’s Ruapehu Whānau Transform
Plan implementation manager Erena MikaereMost said the refurbishment of the old senior
block at Ruapehu College in Ohākune, could
not have happened without the on-going
support of local whānau, and community.
“We walked into the building a year ago and
it took us a couple of months to scope out the
changes that we needed to make to achieve an
inspiring, safe facility for learning.
“We had to look at what was going to be
needed in terms of deferred maintenance, what
we were allowed to do legally and then at
concepts to make this space inspirational.
“In October, builder Karl Cane started on
the massive refit and Ruapehu REAP took an
office, helping Te Pae Tata become a one-stop
learning shop.”
This was followed by Ruapehu Recruitment
in November and Ngāti Rangi’s Kaitoko
Whānau team in April moving to the hub.
“There was so much painting to do and so
many people standing up and volunteering to
help.
“People off the street who we were just
talking to about Te Pae Tata, kāumatua, my
netball team, our families and friends all came
in, it’s been an amazing collective effort.
“Even when our new Hub administrators
[Chaana Morgan and Robyn Matthews] came
on board, they were doing some painting –
without everyone’s help it would have taken so
much longer.”
With Phase One now complete and the space
now open to the public, work has begun on
scoping the kitchen along with the co-working
space with 16 hot desks and two smaller
meeting rooms to be complete this year too.
Should funds be available, planning is
also underway for more advanced tech
hardware, exploring outdoor seating areas,
and the possibility of a shower block for the
convenience of facility users.

Ohakune educator Korty Wilson tries out
virtual reality goggles at the Hub.
Brainstorming ideas was a huge part of setting up the Hub.
Ambitious

Mt Ruapehu is proud to
support Te Pae Tata.

The second RWT solution implemented here was about creating a space where the
latest in technology was available at little or no cost to all whānau for them to learn.
“The tech hub is about encouraging our whānau of all ages to get involved.
“Digital technologies are causing such change in our everyday lives we wanted to
make sure our tamariki and their parents and grandparents have the opportunity to be
aware of and keep up with the change if not one-day lead it.
“Along with low-cost computer science programmes we have free internet and
computers available for anyone who wants to drop in.”

But a week or so later, John
received a photo of Dennis posing
with his wagon outside the Bulletin
office with “a rather large Waimarino
Bulletin sign”.
John says his blood pressure rose
then, knowing Dennis, realised he
and the staff had mocked up the sign
to “crank his chain”.
In retirement, Dennis continued as
court reporter for many years, filling
in as relief editor and also did proof
reading until not long before his
move to a rest home in Feilding.
He continued with design work
in retirement, working on the first
edition of New Zealand Geographic
and designing the Waimarino
District Council logo, later adapted
for the Ruapehu District Council.
His retirement allowed him to
spend time on numerous projects
including the establishment of an
ice skating rink and covered pool for
Ohakune, better tourism signage, rail
travel information and TV weather
reports inclusion.
He was a staunch defender
and promoter of Ohakune and
Mt Ruapehu, through numerous
letters to the editor and government
ministers.
Spielberg made another film that
Dennis had a connection to – Saving
Private Ryan. Among Dennis’s
many letters to correct errors, he
wrote to the director pointing out
that the opening scene was not right.
On D-Day, the scene was wall-towall ships; the sky thick with barrage
balloons and the sea full of landing
craft. Dennis pointed out to Spielberg
that his backdrop of an uninterrupted
horizon was not possible.
An article that was written about
Dennis’s design career wondered if

Ruapehu College student Waimaria Matete, at centre, received the
Waiouru ‘Commander’s Coin’ earlier this year, following the CACTUS
Longest Day youth development programme. She was presented
the coin by Lieutenant Colonel Tim Marsden, at left, with staff
member Jason White. The ‘coin’ is presented by the Commander in
recognition of significant achievement by TRADOC (Training and
Doctrine Command) personnel or as a gift to visiting dignitaries.
The coin was presented to signify that Waimaria had “demonstrated
the personal attributes, drive, commitment, resilience, beyond that
which is normally expected by her performance on the Longest Day”.
Waimaria had been unable to be at the dinner due to an injury she
sustained during the day.

FARM SUCCESSION
Succession is defined as the transition of property,
assets or rights from one person (entity) to another
which will carry on the life and / or production of
those property, assets or rights. It is a challenging
consideration for farmers and their families and will
be as time goes on. This is particularly the case for a
rurally dependent economy like New Zealand.
The average age of the population is increasing and
that of farmers in all forms of agricultural activity is
climbing also. Every farm situation is unique. In some
cases there will be no successor in the family, so the
strategy would be to pass the farm by sale or other
consideration to a farm manager or another entity. In
many cases the successor emerges from the family.
Children directly working on the farm may take over
and / or may retain control but pass the running of a
farm to a manager or management company.
Where challenges arise is where there are multiple
siblings with interest in the farm assets but each
wanting to exercise their rights (real and perceived)
in different ways.
While trusts are part of the tools that can be used in a
family to manage assets structure it doesn’t and never
will actually solve succession issues. A succession
plan is the crucial tool – and surprisingly the majority
of farms do not have one.
An effective succession plan will answer the
following questions:
• Is there a desire for the farm to stay in the family?
• What do Mum and Dad want to do as they
get older?/Where do they want to live?/What
income do they want?
• Is there a desire for all family members to be
treated equally or fairly (remembering fairly does
not mean equal)?
• Are there off-farm assets that can be utilised to
release money for other family members?
• Can some of the land be sold off to release income?
• Will other siblings want their share out or are
they prepared to stagger the release of money?
What compensation do they want for that?
• Is there a way to provide “insurance” that if an
advantage given to the continuing farmer that
they won’t just sell up and pocket the cash (it
can be forced through relationship issues)?
• How can we plan for a transition? What impact
does this have on budgets and financial structures?
• What estate planning (e.g. wills) have we done
– note that estate planning is not succession
planning but is a core component of the wider
succession plan
It’s not surprising that we often hear “it’s all too
hard, we’ll just sell up and everyone can sort
themselves out”. But, at Balance, we believe that
solutions can be developed and we have had
success in doing that.
The key to succession success is communication
and trust. And good advice.
