Don't miss the Central Plains Water bus!
Environment Canterbury (ECan) is convening a
pre-hearing meeting on Tuesday,
18 December 2008 from 9am
-1pm at the Christchurch Town Hall, to determine
the
procedures for the formal Central Plains Water (CPW) hearing
being held
in February 2008.
Approximately 1200
submitters have reserved the right to be heard in
respect
of the CPW application and should have received a
letter from ECan advising
of the pre-hearing meeting.
Malvern Hills Protection Society believes there are
significant
environmental issues that have the potential
not only to have an impact on
their local community but
also to flow right into the very drinking water
of
Christchurch.
The number of people that have
requested speaking rights, means that the CPW
application
will be one of the largest hearings to have ever been
convened
by a Local or Regional Council in New
Zealand.
So, to ensure as many submitters as
possible can attend on Tuesday 18
December, Malvern Hills
Protection Society is providing free bus transport
to the
Christchurch Town Hall and return for those wishing to
attend.
The bus will leave at the following times opposite:
Springfield Garage - 7.15am
Sheffield
Bakery - 7.30am
Darfield Hotel - 7.50am
Kirwee Garage
- 8.15am
