Hello and welcome to another edition of Newsline.
With February behind us, like many of you, Council is back into the full swing of things and looking ahead to what will be another busy year. It will certainly be challenging but myself, your elected members and Council staff will do everything to ensure the best outcomes for the district while keeping you informed.
At the Council workshop on 4 March, we hosted the Chairperson for Environment Canterbury (ECan) along with other elected members and discussed a raft of issues.
We discussed the issue of nitrates within the Lower Waihao water scheme and the St Andrews landfill remediation. Council will work with ECan and other stakeholders to find affordable and sustainable solutions for both problems.
Council stressed the importance of wallaby eradication programmes not only within containment areas but also surrounding regions. We expect continued momentum on the Wilding Conifer Control Programme.
Until next time, take care.
