Hutt Valley water bottling consents
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.
