We need your help.....
Dear Friends,
It’s been a fair old while since you were emailed by BVCG.
We are cranking up the old system because… well because the Council are cranking up an old attack on your Recreation Reserve. Justine is attaching a copy of the submission I have just lodged on behalf of BVCG, which explains what has happened in the two years in between, and how Council have been knocked back in their daft intention to create tourist development in the upper Brook Valley. They persist, you know, despite the Environment Court advising them that what they had done was unlawful. Have a look at the last Council meeting on live stream video.
We would like everyone to make a submission in response to recent public notices, in part objecting to their not having called for objections in the Public Notices, as they are obliged to do. They try to be sneaky, you see, cut corners, and it never works, not so you would notice.
Just email submissions@ncc.govt.nz and say you want to be heard at the Hearing on November 1st. Tell them you want your Recreation Reserve back, thank you. Tell them you are not happy with their Draft Plan and want them to revisit it. Tell them it is blazingly obvious that the Sanctuary is a still dying duck, probably from brodifacoum, and that you are well aware that the commercial support that was supposed to be coming available to them from NMIT, DOC, and the bloody Gondola has all vanished. What remains is a permanent drain on ratepayers to watch slip after slip taking place, just as we told them it would. Their Vision 2 was a group hallucination. Time for reality. Leave the upper Brook alone! Better, protect it!
Anyway, all the best in your real lives. Do this for us, please. We have the backing of the Nelson Residents Association, who are making their submission alongside ours.
Yours,
Christopher St Johanser
Chair
BVCG.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Emma’s wedding dress reveal tells a different love story
A Valentine’s-inspired wedding dress show at Ryman Healthcare’s Logan Campbell Village is providing the perfect opportunity for residents to share memories of their romantic day.
But for Emma Muller, it has also turned into an opportunity to celebrate her late daughter Nicola, who died 19 years ago at the age of 37.
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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.2% ... It is complicated
