Inangahua Community Board meeting briefs:
From local democracy reporter Lois Williams:
* The tender for the $1.4 million upgrade of Reefton's water supply has gone to the Christchurch and Greymouth-based firm, Tru-Line Civil Ltd. Buller District Council will sign the contract with the company this week and work will start this month. The council has granted easements for the new pipework under The Strand and camping ground recreation reserve.
* An architect has been engaged to come up with a heritage look for new public toilets on Broadway. The council has chosen 'Permaloo' to replace the dilapidated toilet block, and build an accessible alternative.
* Some towns have fairy doors in their parks to entrance small children: Reefton will soon have mini-mine doors. Schoolchildren have helped design the decorative doors to be installed in the park area of The Strand, as a Toddler Walk.
* Fundraising has almost reached its target of $25,000 for Reefton's 150th public lighting anniversary - with a council community grant of $9900. Organisers are focusing on a week of celebrations and special events leading up to January 17. The Strand will be party central - with music, food stalls, dancing - and fireworks at the racecourse to top off the festival weekend.
