These open days will help people to make informed submissions that help us reach workable solutions to the complex issue of water HOUSELOT quality in the Waikato and Waipa rivers.” The Healthy Rivers/Wai Ora Proposed Regional Plan Change 1 was approved by INSTALLED FROM the council recently for public notifi- cation. The proposal was put together by a multi-sector Collaborative Stakeholder Group under the oversight of a committee $3999 made up of regional councillors and river iwi representatives. Mr Payne said it was important for people to put their views forward. “These are your rivers, this is your plan, make sure you have your say. “The opportunity to influence a major Natural Decoration* policy like this only happens once in a decade. “The open days are designed to maxi- mise understanding by enabling one-on- one discussions between council staff and potential submitters.” PAY The nearest days for our readers are: Otorohanga Club, Thursday, December 1, 11am — 3pm; Matangi Hall, Thursday, NOTHING December 8, 3pm — 7pm. ■ The full proposed plan change is available online at www.waikatoregion.govt.nz/ FREE until August healthyrivers 2018 Underlay STOREWIDE! * & Installation Calhoun 65oz SmartStrand Rhino Carpet Amore 60oz Solution Dyed Carpet Belle 50oz Solution Dyed Carpet www.carpetcourt.co.nz
