6. Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Business Unit Long Term Plan Feedback Submission Report
Document number R25840, agenda pages 12 - 33 refer.
General Manager Regional Sewerage and Landfill, Nathan Clarke, noted that both councils had consulted on NTRLBU fees and charges. The feedback received had been primarily in support of the actions outlined in the Activity Management Plan (AMP) and mostly in support of the increase in fees and increased use of gas. He noted there had been limited feedback against increased fees and that everything submitted on had already been included in the AMP.
Mr Clarke answered questions regarding Council’s proposed emissions dashboard, waste reduction targets, carbon emissions targets and charity shop waste disposal. He noted that many of the submissions related to topics that were outside of the NTRLBU’s mandate (as they related to the waste minimisation work of the two councils), but that they had been given due consideration.
It was agreed that the words ‘following consideration of submissions’ would be added to the officer recommendations to the two councils for clarity.
Recommendation to Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council
