The three Warkworth Rodney Local Board members have started hosting bi-monthly meetings for community group representatives, with the first one held on June 12.
The idea came about because the sheer number or ratepayer, resident and environmental groups in the subdivision was making it impossible for Michelle Carmichael, Tim Holdgate and Ivan Wagstaff to attend all meetings.
Representatives from 15 diverse groups attended the first session, ranging from community advocacy and ratepayer associations to conservation and heritage groups.
Topics covered included the need for better regional planning, reduced funding for community environment coordinators, Watercare’s new sewer pipeline and the need for water catchment management plans and flood resilience.
The next meeting is scheduled for August 14. Any community group is welcome to attend.
