Earthworks at former depot on Curtis Street
In late 2015, WCC passed a district plan change to create the Curtis Street Business Area at 55-85 Curtis St, allowing the site to be developed for commercial and retail activities.
Prime Property (the site owner) are now doing earthworks to create the building platform for future buildings. The earthworks must be carried out in accordance with the consent granted to Prime Property by WCC, and WCC must monitor compliance with the consent conditions, which include:
• Hours of work: Monday-Saturday 7:30 am - 6 pm
• Limit of 6 “bulk haul trucks” per hour, 9:30 am -2:30 pm
• No work or truck movements on Sundays or public holidays
• Afterhours contact details to be displayed on a noticeboard at the site entrance
• Dust and sediment controls must be put in place
• Plans and controls are also required for noise, traffic and public safety
• Duration of works – up to 50 weeks
A copy of the full consent is on our website (www.cvra.org.nz) along with a summary of the conditions.
CVRA are meeting with the Council next week to discuss the monitoring programme, and confirm communication channels if neighbours and residents have concerns or are affected by the works.
It is likely that more regular updates will be posted on the Creswick Valley Residents Association Facebook page - so follow our page if you are interested.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
