Episode 03

In this episode, we hear from new Golden Bay Community Board Chair David Knowles about his priorities for the triennium, how the Board can better champion local concerns and ideas to Council, and what’s hoped to be achieved at the upcoming March community drop-in sessions.
The sessions will run from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm at the following locations: Pākawau Hall – 2 March, Bainham Hall – 3 March, Onekaka Hall – 4 March, Golden Bay Rec Park Centre – 5 March, East Tākaka Hall – 9 March, and Upper Tākaka Hall – 10 March.
We then turn to the Strategy, Finance and Performance Committee for discussion about how national economic trends are influencing Tasman and the impact of interest rates on funding for the June–July recovery work.

There’s also an update on the Lower Queen Street Bridge Capacity Upgrade project in Richmond, the latest Annual Quality Report, and what’s being done to manage the safe disposal of lithium-ion batteries following a spate of fires at our Resource Recovery Centres.
