WWO occurred mainly on private property due to incorrect or illegal drainage. The council had done significant work on council assets and intended resolving private property issues with the DrainWise programme which is funded in the Long-Term Plan. DrainWise is aimed at reducing the frequency, duration and volume of overflow events. Mr West said that unlike some councils, WWO required manual intervention in Gisborne, meaning WWO discharges were subject to monitoring and notification protocols. DWOs at pump stations were rare, with the last occurring in 2015. The council did regular maintenance and inspection of the wastewater network to manage DWOs. Wolfgang Kanz, who is responsible for DrainWise and consultation with tangata whenua, said DrainWise was targeted at poor infrastructure on private property. It included a site-by-site inspection of ON THE MOVE: The former dental clinic at Mangapapa School in Rua Street leaves the school grounds yesterday on its private property drainage.

And going off the numbers, April 1. A second cut sold for prices are about where they should be — at $175. record levels. More than 10,000 mixed-age and four-year-plus SIL ewes have passed through the Matawhero, Stortford Lodge and Feilding yards since the start of June, where an average price of $204 has been paid. This is $20 more than the previous peak in 2019, and a long way from the days of 2009 – 2016 where averages ranged from $90-$125 in all but one year. Schedules obviously play a big role in what buyers will pay. Analysis shows the market closely follows a rule of plus or minus $15 for every dollar change in the lamb schedule and plus or minus $20 for the same change on mutton schedules. Using this logic, prices are bang-on where they would be expected to be. IMPRESSIVE STOCK: Sarah Taylor’s Keith, Sky and Suzie (left) changed hands at last Friday’s sale at BEEF Matawhero saleyards.

The All Blacks coaching staff have been open about the purpose of the three tests this month — an opportunity to provide game time and rotation for the entire squad as they gear up for the first Bledisloe Cup test against Australia. Ahead of their final game before the Wallabies on August 7, Plumtree admitted Ian Foster and the selectors still hadn’t quite nailed down their first- choice team. “There are opportunities there for us to play our first team against Fiji if we want it but, to be honest, we don’t really know what that is yet,” Plumtree said. “There are obviously still some players unavailable. We’ve got a few boys to come back in so by the time we select the team and Saturday night, there would’ve been some guys that would’ve had a bit more time than others and that’s just natural over the three games. “Some guys need more time than others.
