Zoo Plan

Geoff from Rototuna North

Zoo Plan

Submissions close this Friday 19 May 17 for the Zoo Plan.
The Zoo Plan consultation was the result of Paula Southgate using her casting vote to push it over the line.
The Master Plan details Phase Descriptions with time lines but all costs are TBA, the Capacity Calculations and Summary of Guest Features and Facilities have no costs and there is no funding allocated to the plan. Council will consider funding the plan as part of its 10-Year Plan process.
Council is asking ratepayers to consider the plan when they are totally denied any cost(s) or budget. The only mention of any money was $15.5m from the mayor during debate of the Zoo Plan.
Ratepayers being asked to decide on a project with no cost(s) – Would make a good Tui ad.
Whether you support caged animals or not – tell councillors your views.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
