A report on the
Ellerslie International Flower Show will be considered at the Council meeting on Thursday 22 May. [date corrected]
The report on the 2014 show projects a draft

released 72 hours after the decision is made due to
commercial sensitivity around the options.
The
public report is available today on the Council’s website
at www.ccc.govt.nz
