Wastewater discharge in lakes and rivers - how is this still happening?

Reporter Southland Times

Hi neighbours - the Queenstown Lakes District Council is pursuing its plan to spill wastewater into the region's pristine lakes and rivers, despite strong opposition.

193 submissions were received on the resource consent application, with 190 opposed, TWO in favour and ONE in neutral.

How is this happening? Why has there been no fast-forwarding for infrastructural developments? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Poll: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

🎉 Exciting news for Southland! We’re getting a brand new museum – the Te Unua Museum of Southland!

⏳ The not-so-great news? It’s still a little way off. The Invercargill City Council has decided to wait until the museum is fully finished in late 2027 before opening, instead of opening parts early at extra cost.

We want to hear from you: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages, even if it costs more, or is waiting for the full experience the better option?
