Moved: Cr Gerard Minehan Seconded: Cr Jerry Greer That having considered all matters raised in the report:
a) That the Strategy and Wellbeing Committee note feedback given by elected members but leave formal adoption of a growth scenario until Council meeting on 30 July, to allow further advice to be considered before the adoption of a growth scenario. |
Mrs McGrath presented the report.
It was noted that risk analysis surrounding such topics as the District’s water security; and the capacity of infrastructure assets to respond to projected growth; is planned for within asset management and activity management plans that feed into the Long term Plan. Furthermore, Northern commute patterns in and out of the District will be considered within the Growth Assumptions planning.
|
PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide the Strategy and Wellbeing Committee (Committee) with an update on progress and priorities of the Waste-Free CHB strategic goal as well as to provide context and further updates with reference to the Environmental and Sustainability Strategy, the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and a specific Waste Free CHB communications campaign.
|
|
Moved: Cr Gerard Minehan Seconded: Cr Kate Taylor That, having considered all matters raised in the report, the report be noted. |
Cr Minehan as a CHB Waste champion, tabled a document regarding the issue of roadside rubbish. Cr Minehan stated that the Waste-Free CHB strategy would include a section with ideas and solutions (in collaboration with NZTA) to the problem of roadside rubbish and its clearance. Tools such as signage discouraging littering could be erected, alongside other Council and community-led initiatives, such as community clean up days, involving schools and encouraging wider community involvement in environmental clean-up.
Officer Lloyd and Mr Robinson presented the report.
Noted that silage wrap recycling initiatives were being investigated, including collaboration with regional partners, with the intent of diverting silage wrap waste from going to landfill. A plan will be rolled out in regards to subsidising the cost of bailage wrap recycling. This will be a one-off solution but if effective, could be an ongoing initiative and a sustainable programme long term.
Mr Robinson provided an update on the ‘Trash to Fashion’ project articulating that though a good initiative, it was not as successful as hoped and that Covid-19 would likely have had an impact on participation levels.
Mr Robinson updated the Committee on the initiative of schools visiting the landfill, stating that as the leachate to landfill project is in progress there is heightened awareness around the safety of viewings. After the leachate to landfill work, school viewings can recommence.
Mrs Henderson updated the Committee on current communication strategies educating the community on the impacts of waste and informing of Council initiatives in place. A communication plan will be launched 20 July 2020, and the key objective is engaging and educating community, bringing sustainability and environment to the forefront of community thinking.

Mayor Walker spoke to the motion, reflecting on the high quality of the information provided and work being done, noting the positive impact it is having on the community. That, as per the report, progress is considerable from the initiation of the Plan to now.
