As you will notice, this is becoming an ongoing process - with continued discussions about the same locations in subsequent years.
At our recent AGM TDC councillors specifically advised that it is good to continue to submit on locations which are of concern, even if those had not been considered for changes in a given previous review.
Three local community associations – the Mapua & District Community Association, the Moutere Hills Residents Association and the Tasman Area Community Association – are working together with the Mapua & District Business Association to gather information about residents' need for broadband service in our area.

The Tasman District Council has submitted the district’s Digital Enablement Plan in the second part of a two-stage application process to the funding announced by the Government to enable extension of ultra fast broadband, rural broadband and mobile blackspot coverage.
“It will be a few months before anyone finds out which regions benefit will from the Government’s investment. Regardless of outcome, as a community we're getting on with creating a digital future.”

It was a busy night at the Moutere Inn on Tuesday as all three councillors for the Moutere-Waimea ward (T Norriss, B Ensor and T King) as well as Mayor Kempthorne met with association members and visitors (both local and from neighbouring community associations) for our Annual General Meeting.
We discussed speed limits on local roads, water supply, the walkway project, and prospects for trying to bring better internet connections to the area. You can read the full minutes of the meeting here.
Thanks again to all members and visitors for attending!
