LGOIMA Request Details

The purpose for the Reconsenting and Capital Improvements budgets identified on p100 of the LTP is to provide budget for both the river discharge reconsenting process (e.g. Water Quality Panel, expert/technical consultant support as required, staff time, technical investigations), but also to ensure Council are able to fund any recommended improvements identified through the Future Directions report being prepared as a condition of the current consent.  

To summarise, no specific uses have yet been identified for this budget, but it was prudent for Council to ensure there is available budget provision to fund upgrades (if any) identified within the Future Directions Report process, and any required by any future consent.
