FAST TRACKING HIGHWAYS NEW ZEALAND – GERRY BROWNLEE TALKS NORTHLAND’S NEW BLUE HIGHWAY BUILD

Northland is a fun region of North Island, New Zealand known for its beach life, farming, education, agriculture, innovation in machinary design, art - as well as being an entrepreneurial sanctuary haven with picturesque properties. Billionaires have homes in the beaut North.

Northland is also set to be a converging destination of the wealthy and famous, when Orion’s Larry Ellison and the America’s Cup yachting team begin practice-training on Northland’s ocean waters in the near future in their preparation to The America’s Cup.

What Northland may benefit from though is a new streamlined road. A proposed blue highway to the north’s coasts – that opens up the region, so that guests will appreciate with ease, the place that was the first capitol of New Zealand in history. As mentioned a lot on this blog, it is also the place where our founding document was inked too in good faith, as a nation of one people under Fun.

Te Tai Tokerau Northland  is what our founding fathers and mothers of NZ, christenedthe birthplace of a nation.

The highway’s cost is $2 billion. In Beverly Hills, a figure like $2b can be described as being like a year of wrangling on the stock market. For example watching the markets, from 7am to 10am, Mon-Fri – with the rest of the days free -  are all in a billionaire’s mornings of trading. They have it sweet. That was when the markets were in more trustworthy days.

So with billionaire earning caps on then, a 2 billi road is totz achievable. A doddle. Needless to say our elite rising sports stars and their audiences would appreciate this enhanced road to get to the significant sights of cultural importance. in the birthplace of the nation region.

I wonder what oil wells in the South of New Zealand could pay for this important road? Just kidding. :)

Like all builds, the benefits vs disadvantages of a floated spend when investing in vital infrastructure projects of all kinds in New Zealand – need to be discussed as a normal process in a democratic nation’s dealings and planning efforts. The discussion is taking place at the moment. It should alway start with the minerals map, really! And a region’s agricultural potential and lay out. These two factors always determines the shape of a road if a road is designed smartly. If we get this right, the region’s growth is more robust, and people can enjoy the weekends with a better roading system created too.

TVNZ’s Bernadine Oliver-Kirby and Rene Graham brought an exciting story for  Te Tai Tokerau Northland’s future on the topic.

It’s also a New Zealand story, as instead of going to Aussie all the time, on vacations; Kiwis should just spend a week in Northland bonding with family at the beaches instead during summer. Our domestic tourism would love the thoughtfulness of Kiwis as we seek to rebuild our economy.

Northland is a playground for too much ocean fun, as epitomized in the smiles of our bronzed blonde Maori hockey babes, the Harrisons, for example, at London’s Olympics this year. It is these athletes home hood and playground. Ye-ah!

MP Gerry Brownlee of Ilam, Otautahi, South Island (aka Christchurch), gives the highway a nod in the news. So: Kia ora. Life be to you and our hardy hearty people in the South’s mainland too.

Hollywood Northlanders travel story time: (It is Sunday): Once upon a time, a young lad grew up playing the guitar in church in a town called Memphis.

He sung gospel tunes. His hero was his momma.

Observing the talent of his African-American neighbors, he went on to borrow their sound, put his own spin on the music, present it in a sexy way as a white small town boy, American music artist. As we know, his name was Elvis. His legend: from gospel roots Tennessee to the King of Rock N’ Roll.

Today in Hollywood, his image is used in niche supermarket stores like Trader Joes, to make even rice and water blended drinks, more appealing. The power of good art and marketing as something Elvis helped add to as an artist of pop art’s legacy. It is still on show today.

Summary of Elvis highways in NZ: It would be really cool to listen to some classic Elvis anthems, sunnies on in a convertable - heading to the beach on the new blue highway of Northland. Groovy summer fun, without the snooze fest of compulsory patience testing with roadway congestion on Northland roads at peak times.

Updated: Good News for Christchurch peoples too: Q+A: Gerry Brownlee (11:59) - Rebuild should get underway before year’s end.

NORTHLAND YACHTING NEWS: RUSSELL COUTTS, LARRY ELLISON & ORACLE CREW LOOK FORWARD TO SAILING AT MARSDEN

[American billionaire Larry Ellison and Russell Coutts on BMW Oracle Racing's America's Cup yacht--Northern Advocate].

New Zealand is rolling out the red carpet for the rock stars of yacht racing.

After scouring the world, America’s Cup holder Oracle Racing Team has opted to base itself in Northland to prepare for its next defence of the coveted trophy, known as the Auld Mug.

(The trophy, although definitely golden, is apparently, not related to Myanmar’s Nobel Peace prize winner - attending Westminister events this week, or, themes of classic Scottish celtic anthems either).

American billionaire Larry Ellison is bringing his team – including yachting superstars Russell Coutts and James Spithill – to Marsden Cove marina for a spot of sailing.

The four times divorced, Ellison is known for developing IT software for the CIA and creating data banks. A relational model of data for large shared data banks is what Larry schooled himself in to make the big bucks.

As you do, he also collects fighter jets, racing cars, islands, super yachts as a hobby and generally still advancing business, regardless of what bankers are engineering in the world. He’s his own economy and a peer of Warren Buffet of Omaha and Bill Gates of Microsoft to boot.

Oracle ground crew will start arriving in October, with racers coming in early January and expected to stay near the waters of the refinery, till the end of May 2013.

San Francisco-based Oracle approached Hopper Development, who has a minor stake in managing the mariner, to book 50 accommodation facilities for the team.

“These guys are the rock stars of ocean racing,” a local exclaimed.

Northport’s deep water conditions are well suited for yacht racing. Core Builders Composites of Warkworth has a contract with the crew.

Whangarei mayor Morris Cutforth welcomed the prospect of the VIP visitors’ arrival, which is expected to boost the local economy by millions.

“I expect come summertime, half of Northland will be out looking for the best vantage points to watch the Oracle team on the water,” Cutforth said. “We expect this will inject a lot of new life into the area. It is very exciting.”

When Ellison visits town, he will be one of two billionaires in Northland, with Russia’s Alexander Abramov building in Helena Bay at this time. Billionaires are quite rare, almost endangered species in their own people way. In safe waters, away from conflict, it’s nice to see we can turn on a boat show for the world in Te Tai Tokerau, Northland. NZ has Emmys winning yachting film crew citizens, (we don’t just sail) so the footage will be worldclass and swell.

Alright, complimentary pineapple lumps all round for our yankee, ocean boating guests then when Kiwi lad Russell Coutts brings them into port.
