News in brief March 3, 2023

Water race survey open

Carterton District Council [CDC] is seeking community feedback on its water race system. The more than 300km of man-made water races are owned by the ratepayers and administered by the council. Given its current consent with the Greater Wellington Regional Council expires in June this year, CDC is in the process of compiling relevant information for a new application. It said the focus for feedback should be on how the water race is used and what value it provides, as well as views on how it is maintained and funded. The survey, which opened yesterday and closes on March 17, can be found online at https://cdc.govt.nz/water-race-feedback/.

Upcoming roadworks

Resurfacing work on SH2 between Featherston and Greytown will mean stop-go traffic management with a 30kmh speed restriction will be in place from 7pm to 6am on Sunday, March 5 through to Tuesday, March 7, as well as on Thursday, March 9. Outside of these hours, there will be various temporary speed restrictions in place. Waka Kotahi advises motorists to plan extra time for their travel. These works will be weather-dependent and could be postponed at short notice.
