a)   That, having considered all matters raised in the report, the report be noted.

 

Carried

Mr Chamberlain presented this report.

Councillor Muggeridge asked about shifting the additions from the general rates into the UAGC as he had concern about rural rate payers. There was further discussion around how this works.

 

Councillor Taylor spoke to the movement that rural rate payers may not directly paying for the three waters infrastructure, yet feel indirectly they are.

Mr de Klerk presented this report.

Councillor Aitken asked if the word “eliminate” could be removed from the storm water bylaw report, he was uncomfortable with this word as we will never be able to eliminate the effect on the environment. Mr de Klerk explained the wording for this as a hierarchy of controls your first option is to eliminate then mitigate, manage or control if you cannot eliminate. It is a policy statement across all bylaws to manage the sustainability of growth.

 

Councillor Minehan spoke to the motion that it was time our Council reviewed the three water bylaws as they needed to be refreshed and updated to reflect our environmental and infrastructural demands for this present time and future needs. Councillor Minehan acknowledged the thoroughness and in depth detail submissions that came through. Council has been asked over again about new build homes to capture rain water and Council can finally make that happen for the community.

 

Councillor Burne spoke to the motion that she supports the recommendation and followed on from what Councillor Minehan spoke about. Councillor Burne asked if we could incentivise water conservation to existing water tank home owners as well. Councillor Burne spoke about an  education programme to install tanks and low interest loans and that Council promoted drought resilient planting to conserve water in the summer. Councillor Burne acknowledged it is great to see we are moving in the right direction.

Seconded:  Cr Brent Muggeridge

That having considered all matters raised in the report:

a)         That Council adopt Option 4 to implement the 15 year investment programme of wastewater upgrades across the six wastewater systems through loan funding.

b)         That council endorse the approach to recover a capital contribution from Trade Waste Industry contributors in addition to the current operational charges – with adoption taking place through the Revenue and Financing Policy and Annual fees and charges setting.

c)         That the submitters are thanked for their comments which are acknowledged and further that the information contained in this report is provided to the submitters.

Carried

Mr de Klerk presented this report.

Councillor Muggeridge spoke to the motion no reason why a rate payer should subsidise business, it’s a cost they have to occur, it gives them incentive to do treatment on their own property which would reduce Councils overall costs by a significant amount if trade wasters treated their own waste on their properties.

 

Councillor Minehan spoke to the motion we as a community must all play our part in trying to solve our waste water problem. We must be mindful of passing the new Trade Waste bylaw that the trade waste industry is going to be burdened by a new capital contribution cost, but most trade waste partnerships are about community and business doing the right thing.

7.5         Long Term Plan 2021 - 2031 Draft Deliberations Report: Challenge 2 - Funding Replacement of our Assets

Councillor Minehan spoke to the motion it is very important to start doing renewals. Hopefully once the renewals get started there will be less and less complaints on water leaks. Common sense to start repairing our assets. High risk on major failures if we don’t do this.

Mr Lloyd and Mrs Wiggins presented this report.

 

Councillor Annand spoke to the motion that she is excited to see the extension of recycling and rubbish centres in to rural towns a good thing for our people and has confidence in the trailer system that rural and beaches now have the benefit of being able to take part in recycling. Councillor Annand noted “we can always go back and change things”.

 

Councillor Taylor spoke to the motion she acknowledged we wouldn’t be looking at changing if what we had was working. She looks forward to seeing the targeted rural recycling scheme develop.

 

Councillor Muggeridge was against getting rid of drop off centres but in favour of the other recommendations.

 

Councillor Aitken can concur with Councillor Muggeridge about the drop off centres but agrees with Councillor Annand in saying “we can always change things”

 

Mayor Walker noted roadside recycling will lessen the amount that goes to landfill and reduce the amount of contamination and the “big bang” for this is the increase in curb side recycling to rural townships outside of Waipawa and Waipukurau.
