4.       Public Forum

4.1      The Farmers Market Committee - Location of the Farmers Market

Andrew Lowe, Chairperson of the Nelson Farmers’ Market and Dominic Ferretti spoke about the importance of the Nelson Farmers Market and its need to find a new location.

Mr Lowe thanked Council for its commitment in supporting the move to Maitai Boulevard. However there were two major factors that had caused a reduction in clientele - the impact of weather and distance from the Central Business District (CBD). Mr Lowe requested that Council consider a permanent move to Buxton carpark to enable the market to contribute to the vibrancy of the city centre. He noted retailers were supportive of this option and it would enable the market to rebuild its customer base and public profile. 

Mr Lowe and Mr Ferretti answered questions on alternative locations and the option to return to Morrison Square. 

4.2        Jim Cable – Iwi Representation

Mr Cable spoke about the amended Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit and the amended Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Business Unit. He noted that Council held a referendum in 2012 to establish a Māori ward, the outcome was 79% against the proposal and the cost to Council to hold the referendum was considerable. He felt that there was nothing in the Treaty of Waitangi that endorsed including iwi on boards or committees with voting rights and remuneration and that external appointments should be made on expertise.  

4.3        Jana McLaren- Funding for Natureland Wildlife Trust

Attendance: Councillor Rutledge left the meeting at 9.25a.m.

           Jana McLaren, representing a group of parents who supported Natureland, advised they were concerned at the reduction in Natureland’s future funding. She said that Natureland was a great place to take their children, it provided a good mix of exotic and native species and that Natureland’s conservation work provided additional learning opportunities for young children. Ms McLaren asked that the funding be reviewed in the Annual Plan 2019/20.

 

Attendance: Councillor Rutledge returned to the meeting at 9.37a.m.
