DCC is responsible for trimming vegetation half a metre past the water table beside our roads & footpaths. The present system has the Transportation Department responsible for the actual roads and footpaths, but Parks & Recreation Department responsible for trimming vegetation. There have been some problems with this system and that will change from 1st May when Transportation takes responsibility for all of it. After speaking with folk who actually use the bus service from Dunedin City to the north coast area, we have submitted a draft preferred bus timetable to Otago Regional Council for discussion. We have asked for a service that recognizes that people have to get to the city in time for work and return afterwards; that people would like to go to the city at weekends, and also in the evenings to go to a movie, a concert or a sporting event. We will keep you updated with progress. The Board is allocated a Discretionary Fund of $10,000 each year which is used to provide financial assistance to community groups. If you, or someone you know, would like to apply for a grant, you can find the application form on the Dunedin City Council Website under ‘Community Boards’. Alternatively, you can speak to our Governance Support Officer, Rebecca Murray, on 477 4000, or have a chat with any of the board members. On the DCC Website you can also find Agendas, Meeting Minutes and Meeting Schedules. Our next formal meeting will be held on Wednesday 18th March. in Karitane Hall. Please feel free to give me a call with any concerns or comments you may have. Alasdair Morrison, Chairman, Waikouaiti Coast Community Board.

    ADVERTISING FEATURE | DUNEDIN NZ WILD AT HEART Albatrosses and sea lions, little blue penguins and takahē live next door to humans in Dunedin, a city perched on a knot of land on the Otago coastline. THERE IS ONLY one place in the world where albatrosses nest on the mainland, and it’s no coincidence that it’s a fort. The terraces that were once part of a pā site at Taiaroa Head provide ideal platforms for albatross nests, and the windy, exposed promontory that affords a six-inch gun a view of the sea to ward off a Russian invasion makes a perfect airstrip for incoming adult birds. This season, there are 28 chicks in the colony, with 56 adults coming in to feed them at any one time. The chicks are sitting on their nests, dotted white across the headland. I walk up to the viewing area and peer through binoculars at their beautiful bulk and serious-looking expressions.

My name is Maria Bartlett. 2. I joined Toitū te Whenua, the environmental unit of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (“Te Rūnanga”) on 21 February 2011. 3. I was seconded to Toitū te Whenua from the Consents section of Environment Canterbury for a year as part of the Tuia programme between Ngāi Tahu and the regional council. 4. Prior to my secondment I had spent the better part of ten years processing resource consents for Environment Canterbury, with a focus on surface water consents and river works in the Waitaki catchment and south of the Rakaia river. This included co-ordinating consents for the Project Aqua proposal of Meridian Energy Limited for the Lower Waitaki River, participation in development of the Waitaki Catchment Water Allocation Regional Plan, co-ordination of consents in the Upper Waitaki Catchment and presentation of evidence at the hearings that followed. 5. Since arriving at Te Rūnanga, in addition to engaging in Resource Management Act processes and reforms of the local government sector, I have spent the last three and half years working on the minerals, oil and gas kaupapa, beginning with response to individual mining permit applications notified to Te Rūnanga by NZ Petroleum & Minerals (NZPAM) in accordance with the Crown Minerals Act.
