Franz Josef ‘held to ransom’ by delay

From local democracy reporter Brendon McMahon:

Westland's mayor says the Franz Josef community is being "held to ransom" by a standoff delaying floodwalls on the northern bank of the Waiho River.

Helen Lash welcomed the announcement last week that work was to start on the first stage of the Hokitika River scheme, but said the delays further south around the Waiho Scheme were exacting an unacceptable toll on the glacier town.

"I would like to have thought we would have got Franz under control by now," she said.

The standoff with Scenic Circle Group with both the Westland and West Coast Regional councils was generating an unfortunate level of uncertainty in the glacier village.

"It's a really unfortunate situation. It frustrates the hell out of me that we've had the delays that we've had," Lash said.

"I just don't think it's right that an entity can hold everyone to ransom. We're talking about livelihoods and the economy. It's gone far too long. I just want to see some motion."

West Coast Regional Council chief executive Heather Mabin said there had been no movement since Scenic Circle Group declined in December to give affected party approval.

The north bank work was poised to go, with the lower part of the scheme towards the Waiho loop already under way.

However the crucial phase, including bolstering protection from the river bordering the northern outskirts along State highway 6 - where the school, commercial business park, and the site of the now abandoned Scenic Circle Mueller Wing sit -- was still a sticking point.

Mabin said a hearing triggered by Scenic Circle Hotel Group's refusal to give affected party approval to the scheme would now be held mid-May after the mid-April date had to be vacated.

Despite that council had "full support" from MBIE infrastructure division Kanoa, which had released the $12.5 million co-funding for stage one.
"We are getting the Franz Josef scheme sorted," she said.

A Scenic Circle spokesperson said at this stage they had nothing further to add except to say liaison was ongoing "to identify mutually suitable dates" for a hearing but nothing had been confirmed yet.

Meantime the council hoped to get clarity about the future of the $12.5 million southern half of the $24m in total scheme, affecting Waiho Flat, by June.

The Greymouth floodwall strengthening and improvement scheme is also due to start, as is the 'quick win' floodbank improvements at Westport under council's own $10.2m scheme.

Lest we forget...

The Team from NZ Compare

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

From local democracy reporter Brendon McMahon:

Work continues apace to erect laminated timber and metal elements for the striking new building at the centre of the $26 million redevelopment of the Pancake Rocks visitor site.

Much of the Department of Conservation Experience Centre is now encased in plastic wrap to protect it and enable the contractors to continue working throughout the winter.

The redevelopment includes a new 4.2 km-long pedestrian and cycle path through Punakaiki.

Other assets being redeveloped in the project are the northern car park with an extension for camper van parking, improved pedestrian access to the Pancake Rocks, and new toilets.

The project arose from the provincial growth fund, with a condition that the completed building will be gifted to Ngāti Waewae to own and manage. Completion is expected in early 2024.

The site receives up to 500,000 visitors annually as one of the most visited DOC visitor sites on the West Coast.
