Should Civic House be renovated or relocated to another part of the inner city?
Nelson City council has voted to progress plans to renovate Civic House, rather than co-locate it with the Elma Turner Library in the Maitai River precinct or relocate it elsewhere in the CBD. Opponents fear having to protect the building from flooding in the face of sea level rise and forecasts of increasing storm surge and heavy rain due to climate change, would end up costing more than relocating in the long term. Do you think council should invest in staying put or moving to another inner city location?
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
