4.1

Water charges for residents

Garth Wilson, Central Riccarton Residents' Association, addressed the Board regarding excess water charges for residents. The Association expressed concern that the charging regime adopted by the Council is not equitable, particularly given that residences on shared meters will not be charged. Mr Wilson queried the criteria of eight residents per household and suggested that this could be open to misrepresentation.

The Association does not consider that the water charging regime is compatible with residents maintaining the city's 'Garden City' brand.

After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Wilson for his presentation.

4.2      Community Board presence in Community

David Hawke, Secretary, Halswell Residents' Association, referred to the Board's role under section 52 of the Local Government Act to represent the interests of the community and suggested that to fulfil this role, the Board needs to ascertain what those interests are.  Mr Hawke acknowledged that public forum presentations and deputations are an important means of doing this, but suggested that holding Board meetings in local venues around the ward would be beneficial by making meetings more accessible. 

After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Hawke for his presentation.
