Would you like to see oysters farms back in the south?
Big Glory Bay oyster farmers on Stewart Island have been paid out nearly $2.5 million in compensation after being forced to close their businesses.
The Ministry for Primary Industries made the decision to remove all the farmed oysters from the bay in 2017, after the deadly Bonamia ostreae parasite was detected on oyster farms in the area.
It's unlikely oyster farms will ever return to Big Glory Bay but would you like to see another farm in the south?
Poll: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages?
🎉 Exciting news for Southland! We’re getting a brand new museum – the Te Unua Museum of Southland!
⏳ The not-so-great news? It’s still a little way off. The Invercargill City Council has decided to wait until the museum is fully finished in late 2027 before opening, instead of opening parts early at extra cost.
We want to hear from you: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages, even if it costs more, or is waiting for the full experience the better option?
