Submissions for Eskdale Park
Submissions on the draft reserve management plan for Eskdale Park have been extended to Wednesday September 7, 2022 by 5 pm.
This is great news because it means there is still time to have your say on the draft RMP for Eskdale Park.
Here are the links to view the draft plan and the summary draft plan

When looking over the draft plan you will find many good things and some not so good things being proposed as part of the draft RMP. Please look closely at the draft RMP especially Zone C, as this basically paves the way for a members only group to have a large car park and structures in the park and then to take recreation across the river on private land.
Once you have looked over the draft plan write down your thoughts, opinions and comments about the draft plan. List what you like about the draft plan and what you don't like about it. Tell HDC what your vision is for the park. Then send this off to HDC as a submission by 5 pm on Wednesday, September 7, 2022. It's that easy.
With time being short please consider emailing or hand delivering your submission to HDC.

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
