Keep Dunedin Beautiful Graham McArthur attended the last meeting. An upcoming event would be Clean Up Week, 10-16 September. An initiative would be based on the Town Belt, but it was suggested that the Board could initiate something, in particular with the amount of rubbish along the roadside. Richard Saunders advised that roadside rubbish should be advised to Transport as this was part of a contract. If it was in a gully etc, then that should be community based. The Keep Dunedin Beautiful Co-ordinator had advised that Keep Dunedin Beautiful were keen to do a clean-up at Harington Point on 6 October.
Rural Roads This had been dealt with earlier in the meeting.
Business Directory Christine Neill and Paul Pope met recently and Paul advised that Christine had done a wonderful job with this.
Emergency Response Plan Two key things were to assess the plan, SIMS process, and practice afterwards. Information from Lox Kellas had been supplied to go into the database. A desktop exercise would be held with the Coastguard. Lox will let the Board know when this was happening.
Members' Area Updates Hoani Langsbury asked whether the Council was still involved with rural broadband. It was advised that Harwood would have fibre by 2020, announced by Chorus earlier in the year. An update was requested from Chorus and Lesley Marriott, who would finish in September. A new drain had been laid along the front of Otakou. Above all the new pipes, someone had planted trees, and there was concern around this.
Christine Neill advised that the rubbish dumped on Camp Road had been removed, and the resident sent an email advising what a fabulous job that had been done. She was currently organising the meeting with local tourism operators and was expecting around 25 to attend. Fulton Hogan would also attend to provide an update. |

The meeting concluded at 12.02 pm.
