It was a long day from 5am till 7pm, with 30 volunteers and 10 staff. This was a great success with 90% of waste diverted. We believe this is the highest diversion rate attained at any event in Aotearoa of this size. BUSINESS VISITS - we have been visiting our kindergartens offering assistance to install recycling systems and model sustainable behaviour; including diverting compostable waste. Once systems are setup, we will pass this on to a Community Compost Connection co-ordinator. We have highlighted successful waste reduction in Te Wawata, who were delighted to show us their reduction from one rhino of waste each week, to one wheelie bin of nappies. While River kids were happy to share online their success in reducing paper towel waste to one small plastic bag every three weeks. POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR RECREATION SERVICES LTD (RSL) Facebook compliment on Northland Grapevine “How far does “thank you” go” … A BIG shout out to FNDC Recreational Services! 3 days taking driftwood and debris off Ti Beach and Paihia beaches so families can picnic and play in the sand on our wonderful beaches. Well Done. So next time you see a Recreational Services truck…honk, wave or say thanks for a job well done.

The draft Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) has been approved by the Regional Transport Committee with the consultation process occurring through March. To maintain the District’s roading network in a satisfactory Despite less activity completed in January that originally anticipated condition and in accordance with initial assessments indicate good progress was made throughout national safety and engineering February and a high level of confidence remains for the completion standards. of the significant 2020/21 Capital works programme. Monthly updates continue to be provided to Council’s highlighting any “at risk” or “managed risk” projects, the volume of which is presently <5% of the total annual programme. While the installation of signage is currently on-track for completion at the end of February, with implementation of new Okaihau – Kaeo - Waimate catchment speed limits scheduled for March we are encountering significant apparent opposition to the changes from community demonstrated through an unsustainable rate of vandalism of associated new signage. Revenue received from ticket sales for the 2020/21 financial year to date is approximately 16% higher when comparing the same period for the previous financial year, primarily as a result of a strong domestic tourism market due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Customer interaction numbers have increased in February, in part a result of the dry weather impacting on the ability to complete full maintenance interventions (grading etc.) on the unsealed network. In addition, the interaction numbers within the Roading Correspondence category remains unusually high. Page 10 of 184 2021/24 AMP DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS Waka Kotahi are continuing the review and moderation process of the submitted the Draft AMP document and the financial requests from each Council, the last version of which was submitted at the end of January 2021. Some additional AMP Programme activities and improvement works may continue over the next few months but are likely to only impact the next version of the AMP document. Changes to the current final AMP document will only be required to be made if Waka Kotahi make significant changes to the requested programmes as a result of the moderation process, or Council’s make significant changes to their programmes as a result of LTP consultation. Waka Kotahi intends to consider the final submissions for the Maintenance, Operations and Renewals Programmes, (MO&R), in April 2021. Any final submissions on the Council’s Capital Improvements Programmes are to be submitted by 21st May 2021 and will be considered by Waka Kotahi in June. This will include the prioritisation process of major Regional projects by the RTC following the RLTP consultation in March as detailed below. Final approval of the NLTP programme will be considered by the Waka Kotahi Board by late August and the final approved NLTP is due to be published by early September 2021. Waka Kotahi CE Nicole Rosie provided an update on the NLTF funding and constraints through a Zoom Conference with Local Government Representative on Tuesday 16th February which was followed by this press release from LGNZ.
