7       Chairperson's Update

 

The Chairperson advised that:

·      Four Mile Road gravelling was scheduled for September.

·      Provision of area for rubbish bins at Lee Stream – The rubbish bin collection area requires a fence around it to prevent rubbish being blown into the paddocks and school.  The recycling bins are outside the entrance to the hall, but a more appropriate place for the bins needs to be found.

·      Trees at Hyde Domain need to be removed, there are approximately 250 trees.  Any money from the trees should go back into the Hyde domain so the fences can be maintained.

·      Sutton Bridge – A successful drop in session was held with good attendance from the local community. 

·      Weedspraying – this needs to be undertaken prior to October, as there is a lot of wind in October.

·         Walking Track to the River – discussion took place on the suggestion by Cr Wilson to create a walking track.  Members noted that the land owners should be contacted but there was some concern regarding access during lambing.

·         The Museum was wanting to know if the resource consent fees for the building to house the platypus submarine could be waivered.
