Well done to the Petone community board for their unanimous vote on Monday night on the water bottling motion. I am thrilled with the outcome and had to stop for a photo of the Buick St aquifer tap to celebrate!

Angela McLeod you have been an amazing public advocate for this issue from the start. While sitting in the meeting I was thinking of all your hard work and your assistance in helping me understand how govt processes work.

Purpose of the report

To consider a Notice of Motion recieved from Ms Pam Hanna, Chair of the Petone Community Board.

Recommendations
That the board:

(i) requests the central government and / or Greater Wellington Regional Council, with due respect to all of the four community well-beings (social, environmental, economic, and cultural) in the Local Government Act, to place an immediate moratorium on any current consents for the extraction of Waiwhetu aquifer water for water bottling purposes;

(ii) also requests that any future such applications are put out for public cosultation; and

(iii) asks that Hutt City Council assists in achieving these two outcomes.

NZ Could Be A Bargain Buy

Michael from Pinehaven

Trump wants to buy Greenland the largest island in the world but a much smaller trio of islands could be up for grabs in an equally remote part of the world.

Trump wants to buy Greenland the largest island in the world but a much smaller trio of islands could be up for grabs in an equally remote part of the world.

NZ is not only mineral rich, but it is oil and coal rich just what Trump is all about. And land is cheap here especially in and around Auckland.

As well we have in Trump's mind similar looking population stats: 50,000 (Gld) and 5,000,000 (NZ).

The Greenlanders are not much at enthusiastically greeting their owners or potential owner/s but a full Maori group of hundreds with waka and haka would look and sound a lot more impressive than cold handshakes from a huddled group lasting all of 35 seconds.

There could be a Trump Tower in every city in NZ. I'd pitch for one in Silverstream overlooking the Hutt River.

NZ would be a bargain for Trump and the USA as NZ seems to be folding into a recession not only because of the Ardern Government economic and social bunglings but because Trump has been the major architect of a world wide economic and power playing disorder.

Gee, taking over NZ, Trump could look at building the greatest wall in the history of mankind and dinosaurs right in the middle of the Tasman Sea and stop Australia from sending Kiwi crims back to NZ.

⚠Gibbons St update⚠

The Team from Wellington Water

Gibbons Street has some rough areas after the wastewater renewal project. We've scheduled road surfacing repairs for this summer because the warmer, drier conditions are better for asphalt performance.
