Natural heritage protection - information sessions
Council is in the early stages of strengthening protections for important native flora and fauna habitats and coastal and inland landscapes and features.
Council is now starting a series of drop-in information sessions for property owners who have had potential sites identified on their land. The sessions provide additional opportunities for affected property owners to have one-on-one discussions with Council staff, ecologists and landscape architects.
The first drop-in session is at the Kelson Community Centre, 5A Timaru Grove, Kelson between 4 and 8pm on Wednesday 7 March.
Another will be held at East Harbour Women’s Clubrooms, 145 Muritai Drive, Eastbourne between 4 and 8pm on Monday 12 March.
A Wainuiomata session will be announced once a date and venue have been confirmed.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
