Still struggling to understand the reason why the Council voted to close the Waikanae Recycling Center. Can anyone enlighten me?
Is Waste Management not making enough profit? Should profit be a priority here? One would think there are relatively small amounts of money involved in relation to the Councils overall budget.
It seems we are to be kept in the dark on this, which immediately raises my suspicions that all is not above board. The Councils autocratic and high-handed action in closing the center with no public explanation leaves me wondering what else is going on. Their actions, in ignoring the submissions and workshop support for keeping the center open, along with failing to consult with Waikanae residents, contravenes the Local Government Act (2002). It is also inconsistent with their waste reduction policy.
At the first workshop on the long term plan, the proposal to close the center was discussed. However there was no publicity elsewhere on the issue and no feedback from Waikanae residents was sought. Putting something in the long term plan does not constitute public consultation. At that first workshop there was a majority of support from Council members to keep the center open. Subsequently, three Councillors changed their minds. Why? I would be very interested to hear the reasons for this. Also interested to hear why they thought it acceptable to close the center when the majority of submissions supported keeping it open and Waikanae residents were given no right of reply to the proposal to close it. It seems this issue was kept very much under the radar and only those "in the Know" had the opportunity to comment on it. How Council can justify this closure without consultation and against the backdrop of a climate crisis beggars belief.

Does anyone have one going or not, that they no longer require? I need to replace some parts on mine, they are a cheap brand I know, but at least the coffee capsules are easy to recycle /refill.

Our SPCA Pet of the Day is Opal, who is approximately ten months old.

"Hi there, my name is Opal and I am special girl looking a special home. If you are looking for a goofball dog then I'm the girl for you. I can be very silly, so if you are looking for a laugh then look no further. I am looking for a home with adults only and without small animals due to my quirks and behaviours shown previously. This kind of environment will help me to thrive in training and help me to settle into my new home. I always have a pep in my step and worm my way into peoples' hearts in very little time. I look forward to continuing training with my new owners and am sure to put a smile on your face at the end of a long day. I do come with a medical waiver that my new owners would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the gal for you, contact the canine team for more information."
