Mahurangi East Resident and Ratepayers
Mahurangi East Resident and Ratepayers (MERRA) have a vision of a Pest Free Mahurangi. They have been carrying out pest animal control at Mahurangi East settlement and would like to work with others to reduce plant and animal pests.
Mahurangi East Residents and Ratepayers Association Inc.
It’s a mouthful but we are referred to as MERRA in everyday conversation. Formed in 1968 and known then as Mahurangi Heads Residents and Ratepayers Association, it changed its name dropping ‘heads’ in favour of ‘east’ in 2005 when it also formally adopted its rules and constitution.
MERRA advocates for and promotes the interests of it members and by extension the entire Scotts Landing and its surrounding area.
Today, MERRA engages in a variety of activities which include encouraging social interaction between residents, animal and plant pest control, neighbourhood support and emergency community response, environmental care, liaison with local Government and a host of other minor work.
