Connecting Communities Wairarapa Inc

As you are aware the Lansdowne Neighbourhood Plan Working Party made a submission to the Masterton District Council Annual Plan on your behalf.

MDC have sent the Working Party a letter with the following comments:

Council received 75 submissions in total and 42 submitters were heard at the Annual Plan Hearings. All submissions were considered by the MDC Hearings Committee and subsequently reviewed and confirmed at a Council meeting on 28 June 2017.
The final Annual Plan 2017-18 has resulted in an average rates increase of 2.3%.
In response to your submission, Council resolved:

To refer your suggestions to the Community Facilities and Activities team who will liaise with the Lansdowne Neighbourhood Plan Working Group to identify priorities and costs.
To advise that Council understands your concerns about the lack of toilet but there are no current plans for public toilet facilities in Lansdowne
To advise that Council received an Annual Plan submission regarding a Masterton Propaganda Garden Public Project, that aims to encourage people to grow their own organic vegetables, herbs and flowers. There may be an opportunity for your two groups to work together. Council staff will liaise with both parties to enable this.
The Annual Plan 2017-18 will be made available on the council website www.mstn.govt.nz... in July 2017. If you would like a hard copy of the plan please contact council on 3706300 or email admin@mstn.govt.nz to request a copy.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
