Waiohine River Floodplain Management Plan hearing to be rescheduled

The submission hearing due to go ahead in Greytown on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 August on the draft Waiohine River Floodplain Management Plan has been cancelled due to the unavailability of sub-committee members.

However, submitters will retain their opportunity to present their submission to the draft plan at a rescheduled hearing.

Submitters registered to present will be directly notified of the cancellation and invited to attend the rescheduled hearing at dates yet to be set. The wider community will be notified of the dates through the news media.

"It is vitally important that the views of submitters are heard by a full panel. Greater Wellington Regional Council is absolutely committed to hearing and considering the diverse views of the community," says Greater Wellington Regional Council Chair Chris Laidlaw.
