  • Hamilton City Council
    Submission by Hamilton City Council WATER SERVICES BILL 26 February 2021 1.0 SUMMARY OF HCC’S KEY POINTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1.1 HCC’s previous submission on the new Crown agency Taumata Arowai supported the agency and resource management reforms that would provide clear, consistent leadership and guidance, build capability, support suppliers, manage risks and improve environmental performance. 1.2 We support the overall intent, direction and proposals in the Water Services Bill insofar as it provides a regulatory framework aligning with fundamental principles of drinking water safety. 1.3 Under three waters reform, there will be different models of service delivery for water services. The Bill does not provide enough clarity on these models as they relate to owners, operators and suppliers and their points of supply and the division of responsibilities. The duty to manage, monitor, notify and remediate risk has not been considered in the context of the best entity to comply with duties. 1.4 We recommend a review of the models of service delivery, suppliers and their points of supply, source water management, and a re‐evaluation on how these relate to powers and duties. 1.5 HCC also recommends better direction and integration of wastewater and stormwater services in the Bill. Giving effect to Te Mana o te Wai could also be better integrated throughout the Bill. 1.6 Emergency powers of Taumata Arowai as they relate to civil defence is not supported as there appears to be an over‐ride of powers. A Territorial Authority’s own powers to enforce measures to protect supplies must also be strengthened in the Bill.

  • UC Campus Developments
    UConnect UC Alumni and Friends Newsletter, July 2013 In this edition: Campus developments UC QS Five Star ranking Innovation and Research Alumni benefits UC Careers Kit Events and more UC campus developments The University of Canterbury, like the rest of Christchurch, is in full recovery mode and is steaming ahead with a range of exciting and significant developments that will place the University in a strong position for the future. We have launched a new marketing campaign, “UC More, Feel More, Do More”, established an innovation hub for students, developed a careers kit to help students envisage their career pathways, and launched a Quake Centre to work with industry on earthquake engineering projects. We’ve seen a record number of PhD students enrol at UC this year and we have retained our QS Five Star ranking. You can read about all of these developments – and more – in this newsletter. The University has also released draft plans for the possible development of the perimeter of the UC campus. There is no guarantee these developments will go ahead as they need to be funded from external sources. However, we are excited by these plans, which could include a UC Research and Industry Zone, an archives facility and a boost to student accommodation at Bishop Julius Hall. The briefing document can be found here. For those of you who have been on campus recently, you will have noticed the extensive refurbishment of the area under the James Hight building. Known as the Undercroft, this area is now a vibrant, sophisticated student lounge with a selection of cafés and retail outlets as well as areas to relax in.
