2 If your business lies within the Panmure Mainstreet area (Queens Road, Ellerslie/Panmure Highway and adjacent side streets) you are automatically a Member of Panmure Business Association and are paying.02c in the dollar of your general rates towards funding the Association. How the combined money is spent is determined by elected board members, any of whom would be happy to talk with you, tell you more about who they are, and hear your comments or suggestions. Leon Matthews Sharon Stephens Douglas White Alan Duncan Dorothy Miles Gary Davison Mt Wellington Panmure RSA (Chairman) Tamaki Ataahua Early Learning Centre (VC) Kiwibank (Treasurer) The Loft Dance Studio Sugarcrafts NewZealand Ltd Salvation Army 159 Queens Road Greg Woodcock Melissa Heard Nicolette McDonald William Harsono Josephine Bartley Keyur Patel Akl Psychological Associates Ltd Willow Hair Design Unichem Pharmacy Queens Health Maungakiekie- Tāmaki Local Board Representative Co-opt member Tamaki Redevelopement Company Panmure Business Association services include: Panmure Christmas Parade & Festival, King of the Mountain, Monthly Business Newsletter, CCTV, Graffiti Removal, Security Patrol, Under Veranda Lighting, Tastes of Panmure Promotion,Tamaki Business Breakfast Series, supporting local Community Events Chris Sutton - Town Centre Manager In September, I was asked by a local resident, why there were twelve P10 car parks still situated outside 141 Queens Rd, as she felt that they were unnecessary due to the fact that the PostShop had moved some time ago. I contacted Auckland Transport and their Parking Design Team visited the site. They noted that when the post office relocated, the P10 spaces were reviewed and public consultation undertaken. It was decided that six of the twelve P10 s would be kept, and six made P60. They realised that the six P60 signs had not been installed and logged a job to rectify the signage. We noted this was completed very quickly and appreciate the speedy response from Auckland Transport. I am very unhappy that there has been a sharp increase in the number of tags in and around the town. Our contractor Graffiti Guard has been kept very busy over the past six weeks with the extra work as the taggers have been enjoying the challenge of finding ways of climbing up onto our buildings, which is a worry as we are going into the holiday season. Fortunately, Graffiti Guard will still come through Panmure throughout December/January, only stopping for the Christmas public holidays. On a more positive note, I m delighted to report that our town centre now has 29 medical outlets, which shows just how centrally located our town centre is, as we have plenty of parking and we are close to public transport routes. Health Star Medical Centre and pharmacy has just opened at 136 Queens Rd and a Turaki Health Care centre will be opening soon in the completely renovated old Westpac premises at 66 Queens Rd. A new pharmacy will open in 6 Clifton Court, right next to the Tāmaki Family Health Centre in the New Year. This has been a year of change for the PBA office: firstly with Julie, PBA Accounts Manager resigning due to ill health and in July, Lisa decided the time was right to move to a new job opportunity. I consider myself to be very lucky as both of those fantastic staff members have been replaced by equally fantastic people. Dannielle Carter now rules the Accounts Office and petty cash had better balance or else!!! Katie Chan took over a redefined role as Communications Coordinator and has blessed us with her ability to speak both mandarin and Cantonese. Taoa has embraced technology and now has magic computer fingers and aims to learn how to txt in 2016! Chris and Taoa - The parade is about to begin! My luck continued as just when Katie decided that she needed time to prepare for the birth of her first baby, I was contacted by Kylie, a friend of mine who has worked for the Sandringham Business Association and organised events. Kylie took over the organisation of the Christmas Parade and the outcome of those dedicated hours set aside just for the Parade meant that this year s Parade was very smooth and organised. Unfortunately, the traffic management company decided to cone off all the car parks along Queens Rd instead of just focussing on the Parade route/eastern end Pilkington and Queens Rd to the small roundabout. This was not part of the traffic management plan and justifiably upset a number of business owners in the western end of the town.

3 5 DAYS TO SHOP IN PANMURE We decided to experiment with a small promotion to coincide with the Christmas Parade, to see how much interest there was from the customers as well as finding out how many Panmure businesses would encourage their customers to enter the competition. Over the 1st 5th of December, 902 people entered the competition and 21 stores promoted the competition. The highlighted stores below collected the most entry forms. Amaize Big Broz Bridge-It Cafe Carol s Cafe Golden Roast Goods 2 U Hansan London Dairy Winners Purchased from these businesses Amaize Golden Roast Goods 2 U Hansan Shoe Zone Thank you Eric and Jessica from Ace Tech Computers 8 Basin View Lane for the supply of the 5 Samsung Galaxy Tablets.

Who says Samsung Galaxy Tablets are only for young people? Pictured are 2 of our lucky five winners, Leo and Tweeda The long awaited demolition of Clifton Court will start early in the New Year, in preparation for the building of New Zealand s first social housing project specifically for the Asian community. The Chinese New Settlers Services Trust (CNSST) is an accredited Community Housing Provider and will be building a four storey building containing 36, onbedroom apartments and their head office on the ground floor. The mock up of the apartment building in Clifton Court. Since being granted this opportunity by the New Zealand Government in 2013, the CNSST have been extremely busy obtaining Resource and Building Consent and networking with similar social housing providers to exchange information and ideas. The main contractor is Robert Cunningham Construction Ltd, a Panmure business whose head office is situated in 11 Forge Way. CNSST s Social Enterprise Manager, Bill Guan is very keen to ensure that the demolition of the old building and the construction of the new building will not impact too greatly on the surrounding businesses in Clifton Court. Bill has already put in place a demolition meeting so the Clifton Court businesses can meet with the Project Manager to find out more about the project timelines as Clifton Court Service Lane will be closed for the realignment of the sewer and water pipes.

8 Security Report Taoa is our Security Officer roving the town of Panmure. Taoa has been looking after our businesses for 12 years. Please don t hesitate to talk to Taoa about any security advice. Taoa is in Panmure Monday to Friday keeping a watchful eye over our town. He is also a Minister of the Congregational Church of Niue. The back door of a business that backs onto Dunlop Lane is repeatedly targeted by some boys who bang loudly on the door and try to damage the security grill as well. This is very frustrating for the business owner and he would appreciate any support from local businesses that may see these boys in action. Trouble Makers A group of young boys, on bicycles and skateboards are creating problems for many of our business owners as they are shoplifting or demanding that he store owner just give them what they want as they say they don t have any money. These boys are well known to us and please immediately report any such incident to the Police, get an Incident Number and let us know as well. These boys can be easily trespassed from your store. A young man asked one of our business owners if he would like to buy a power tool and a few days later, drugs. Please report such incidents to the Police and let us know as we may have CCTV footage of the incident. As we are heading towards the Festive Season, I would like to say fakaaue lahi mahaki (thank you very very much) for your continued support for myself and the PBA team but also your support for the surround business community.

9 PREVENTING CRIME THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN 借助环境设计提防犯罪 The layout of the store and design of the physical environment of your building can reduce your chances of becoming a victim of crime. This can also increase the feeling of safety among your staff and customers. Store design Keep windows clear of posters, shelving and advertising that block the view into the shop. Make sure people outside can see clearly into the shop. The darker your shop is, and the more hidden you are from the street, the greater the opportunity for theft and robbery. Install a good quality CCTV system. Put a video monitor and surveillance camera at the entrance so customers can see themselves in the monitor when they walk into the shop. Put up clearly visible signs that let customers know you have security measures, such as cameras and drop safes. Make sure the interior of the shop is well lit during work hours and after hours. Put the cash register at the front of the store near the main entrance. This will help deter thieves, as they will have to walk past your staff when entering or exiting the store. Make sure all areas of the shop can be seen from the sales counter. Raise the sales counter to increase visibility of merchandise. Keep shelves low so staff can see over them. Eliminate hidden or blind spots that make it easier for someone to steal items. Keep displays full and in order so staff can see at a glance if something is missing. Keep expensive goods in the back of the shop - on display but under lock and key. Train staff in loss prevention and detection techniques. Do they know how to apprehend shop thieves? Territorial design reinforcement Make sure the entrance to the store is clearly defined. This will avoid customer confusion and give good reason to question people who loiter in entrance ways. Make sure there is no easy access to the roof, from either inside or outside the building. Ensure entrances and exits are monitored and controlled. Make sure the exterior of buildings and loading areas are well lit, with no blind spots or hidden areas. Put up signs in loading areas to display designated delivery hours, giving staff justifiable reason to question trespassers. Try to ensure parking areas are clearly visible from the building or street - and preferably visible from the store. Create clear lines of sight into and around the perimeter of the store. Shrubbery should be trimmed so that the view is as clear as possible between 0.7m (2 ft) and 2.2m (7 ft), and remove other obstructions someone could hide behind. Clearly delineate private areas from public areas. This gives staff a good reason to question people hanging around areas they ought not to be. Set up barriers to keep people out of certain areas. Question any person who heads into an out of bounds area. Clearly define areas and pathways in the store for customers to browse and purchase. This will make customers feel more comfortable and will help to highlight people who are in the store for illegitimate reasons. Use signs to clearly direct customers to entrances, exits and parking areas. 商店的布局和建筑物的设计, 能减少您成为犯罪受害人的几率 增加您的员工和顾客的安全感 商店设计 保证您的商店橱窗上没有可遮挡看到店内情况的海报 货架和广告, 也没有在窗前放置货架 保证路上的行人能清楚地看到您商店内的情况 商店内光线越暗, 您的店铺从街上看就越隐蔽, 被盗和被抢劫的几率就越大 安装一套质量好的闭路电视系统 在店门口安装一个视频监视器和摄像头, 使顾客在走进店里时, 能在监视器中看到自己 张贴显眼的告示, 告知顾客您这里有保安措施, 如摄像头和现金保险柜等 确保商店内部在营业时间和下班后都有良好的照明 把收银机放在大门附近 这样将有利于吓走窃贼, 因为他们会觉得出入商店都得在您的员工眼前经过 保证在收银台能看到商店的各个区域 升高收银台的高度, 扩大观察店内商品的视角 货架要低, 保证员工能居高临下 消除利于窃贼偷窃物品的死角 保持货架整齐并满架, 使员工可随时一眼看出物品缺失的情况 将用来陈列昂贵货品的陈列柜上锁, 并将钥匙放在店铺门口收银员可以看见的地方 训练员工防范丢失和侦查技巧 帮助他们了解扣留商店窃贼的方法 区域强化设计 商店入口处应明确界定 这样做将避免顾客的误解并使员工有充足的理由质疑那些在入口处闲逛的人 确保建筑物的内部和外部都没有易于进入屋顶的通道 确保出入口都有监控措施 确保建筑外围和装卸货物区域有良好的照明, 没有死角 在夜间打开阳台或雨棚的照明可以阻止有人在附近游荡 在装卸货物区域张贴告示, 显示指定的供货时间, 使员工有充分的理由质问非法闯入者 应确保能从建筑物或街上 ( 最好能从店内 ) 看到停车区域 商店内和周围的视野应当开阔 应修剪灌木, 其高度应保持在 0.7 米和 2.2 米之间以确保有清晰的可视度, 并挪开人能藏匿在后面的障碍物 清楚地划分私人和公共区域 给员工充分的理由质问不应在此逗留的人 应设置隔离物, 将闲人阻挡在特定区域以外 盘问进入限制区域的任何人 为来店内观看和购买物品的顾客清楚地标明区域和通道 这不仅会让顾客感到舒适, 也会让非法在您店内逗留的人无所遁形 利用指示牌清楚地引导顾客至出入口和停车区域 保持场所外部整洁, 不要有垃圾或涂鸦 这样商店看上去是有人管理和照顾的 NEWSLETTER 133
