Council facing a budget blow out

A multi-million dollar blowout caused by waste, road and water infrastructure changes has raised red flags on the South Wairarapa District Council balance sheet.
Wastewater works across the district and emergency work in Featherston have seen capital budgets increased.
The closure of the overseas market for paper and cardboard recycling has upped costs in disposal, with costs set to increase by as much as $250,000 rise in costs per year.
In August, NZTA signalled a one per cent reduction in its payments to SWDC.
It will also halve its contribution to maintaining Cape Palliser Rd, as it phases out its Special Purpose programme for coastal roads. .
Risks on two sewage projects, at Papawai and Martinborough, have seen costs increase.
A major sewer failure under the rail tracks crossing Featherston’s main Fitzherbert St had added a further $400,000 in costs.
An electrical upgrade not included in the original project scope has added more than $650,000 to work on the town’s water supply.
Lake Ferry’s wastewater system, damaged by contractors in July, is to undergo further work, with costs not yet known.
The council's finance, audit and risk committee will receive the report today [Wednesday October 21] at 2.30pm at Martinborough's Waihinga Centre.

Another fantastic curry.

Dean from Masterton District

Another fantastic $13 lunch curry, rice and naan from Sultan Boofiya Kitchen which is just a little down and opposite Moore Wilson's.

Also comes with a can of drink, but I usually leave that as the deal is already really good value and quality, I want the owners to make a little bit more on them.

My go-to is at the moment Chicken Boona.

Rich tomato and onion sauce with a mild kick. ( If too hot, add a little cream to the curry )

Only a slight heat kick in my opinion.

I usually have half for lunch and the rest for dinner.

I do thoroughly recommend them and encourage you to visit.

My other favorites are lamb Rogan josh and mango chicken.

As I said, I have half for lunch and the other half for dinner.

It's fine microwaved a couple of minute and one minute for the naan.

I mean, you are paying close to and over $13 in the supermarket for a frozen one which aren't a patch of these freshly made ones.

Their chicken wings are good as are their Seekh kebab.
