2 Public Forum
2.1 Aaron Smith, NZ Police
|
Senior Constable Aaron Smith, NZ Police, introduced himself to the Board and advised that he had been in the area for five weeks to date. Senior Constable Smith commented that he had already met many members of the community, and encouraged Board members to keep in touch with him if there were any issues at all where his input could be helpful. |
2.2 Freedom Camping
|
Neil Kennedy and Gavin Meade addressed the meeting concerning freedom camping, and the possible acquisition of the ex- Tomahawk School site by the Motor Home Association, which they represented. The Association had approximately 64,000 members nationwide with 1,000 members/supporters in the Dunedin rating area. They were interested in acquiring the site, and were sought support of the Board and the local community. Mr Pope mentioned that the Board would be holding a community clinic at Tomahawk in the near future, and the matter would be brought up at that stage. |
2.3 Fundraising Application for Macandrew Bay Newsletter Committee
|
Lynne and Colin Aldridge addressed the meeting concerning the funding application for $500 from the Macandrew Bay Newsletter Committee. The newsletter was delivered quarterly to households from St Ronan's Road to Company Bay. They also provided further details on advertising income. |
2.4 Submissions on Tidewater Drive
|
Messrs McLennan and Bennett addressed the Board regarding the recent flooding at Tidewater Drive. They were grateful for the assistance of the Fire Brigade but were concerned at the on-going nature of flood events, brought about by king tides coinciding with strong southerlies. In their view flooding events could be mitigated by: • a valve on the drainage pipe to the harbour to avoid tidal surges back up the pipe during king tides, and • co-operation with the adjacent landowner providing a ditch at the rear of the affected properties. The Board agreed that it would be added to the Board's Action list, and that Paul Pope and Christine Neill would be in touch with the affected residents. |
