TDC Speed Limit Review 2019

TDC is beginning another round of speed limit review for various local roads and an official consultation is open until Friday 1 November. The changes proposed under this review have been influenced by the outcome of the TDC community survey earlier in May.
Some words from the review documents: The number of fatal and serious crashes on local roads has been increasing over the past six years. Sixty five per cent (65%) of crashes across our District are on our rural roads, of these 84% are lost control type crashes. Seventy four per cent (74%) occur on our Primary (such as the Moutere Valley Highway) and Secondary Collector Roads (such as Neudorf Road). Crashes on these road types are happening at increasing numbers.
As a result, TDC is proposing to change the speed limit on four sections of our Primary and Secondary Collector Roads and 13 low-volume rural roads.

TDC: Public Consultation on Water Supply Bylaw

In view of the drought event experienced this year, TDC is seeking public feedback on the handling of water restrictions during that time. Restrictions are based on the Water Supply Bylaw which is currently in draft form, and due to be adopted.
The draft Public Water Supply Bylaw affects the management of the Council’s reticulated water supplies across the entire District. It does not cover private wells/bores, or resource consents to take water for horticulture or other productive uses, which are managed through rules in the Tasman Resource Management Plan.
“The restrictions we imposed on urban households and businesses in the Waimea area were much stricter than people will have experienced in the past. They worked – people connected to the Council water supply in that area cut their usage by 28% during the height of the drought. That is a massive effort and was crucial to sustaining our water supplies through that period.
“We want to know if the community agrees with the approach that was taken. It was based on the proposals within this bylaw and, if we adopt it, we will take a very similar approach in future when there is a threat to our water supplies.”
Council Feedback Open From 5 June
