repaint the hall (I personally waterblasted this last year and there were no issues I found) . $10k to replace
the playgroup ceiling (I am the president of this group and it has never leaked? Where did this even come
from? And there has been talk of an information board (info people want when they stop here...where is the
public toilet)
I think someone really needs to take this seriously because I keep getting shut down...I was personally told
yes we were getting one and when I asked again a few months later was told that was never said. Please
seriously consider the options here.

Comment:
1.. Should State Highway One be realigned we would love to have a pedestrian crossing placed from the
school to the recreational grounds. We think a good place would be near the cenotaph as it is away from the
school's main entrance and way from the pool's entrance.
2. We support the Community Board's exploration of a large community facility on the recreation grounds. It
would be close to us and allow for good use. A community facility gains it value from use and by being
close to us this would work really well.
3. To make it safer for the children of Edendale we would propose that the current 50 and 70km signs that
are positioned on the way to Wyndham (as you exit Edendale) be reviewed and changed. We would like to
see the 50km sign shifted to the 70km sign and then the 70km sign pushed out from there into somewhere
new. There are large logging trucks that come into Edendale from Wyndham, carrying substantial loads and
their speeds are still to high by the time they are in the 50km zone. Further, with the new subdivision
housing is now were there once was paddock.
4. We support the Book Bus and love that it has included the school in as part of its regular rotations. We
would love to see this continue.
5. To encourage physical fitness (walking, running and cycling) a suitable cycleway would be great to be
built between Edendale and Wyndham. There is ample space on one side where the water and sewerage
scheme went in and this would be of benefit to both communities allowing safe cycling for families on the
road as it is quite narrow especially if two trucks are passing each other.
6. We allow our swimming pool to be operated well beyond the length of time that we would run it as a
school. This is undertaken by the Edendale Community Baths Committee and provides a very valuable
service to the children and families of our area. They use it before school, after school, in the weekends and
during the holidays from around Labour Weekend through to the end of Term One. The rating that is
provided for this ensures its on-going high use. If it was left to the school we would only open our pool to
our children for in school swimming for two lots of two weeks per year as funding received would not allow
any other operation.

Comment:
I wish to support the proposed Blackmount Community Centre Rate for assisting with the on-going
operation of the Blackmount Community Centre. The school/community centre has been and will continue
to be the heart of the community. The community is a very supportive community and is prepared to raise
funds to maintain and operate their community centre. I believe the proposed rate is a similar rate to that of
support to other community centres. Losing the school was a big blow to the community but turning the
school building into a community centre will make the best of the situation and keep this facility within the
community. The old hall is no longer suitable for group activities and having the school building as a
community centre will encourage a greater use of this facility. My family has been part of this community
for 35 years and my children went to the school. We would like to see the school/community centre continue
being the heart of the community.

Comment:
Some road repairs appear to be done several times before a fix is completed.Surely it is possible to cut
wastage in this area and pay contractors on a completion of a quality job rather than repeating the process.
Roading Rate Model
Preferred Option: Option Three - No rate for heavy vehicles
Comment:
Heavy vehicles are the lifeblod of the province and therefore all ratepayers should shoulder this burden
equally on their properties with a uniform charge.All ratepyers benefit from activity and opportunity created
by business whether heavy or light industry and it is therefore unequitable nor reasonable to try to split out
where the benefits or costs lie in regard to different industry types.
Sealing the last section of the Catlins road
Preferred Option: Fund the Sealing of the road
Comment:
As ratepayers we pick up some of the burden of crashes and Southland needs to promote a good experience
for tourists.I would expect Otago to shoulder some of the cost as well.Farmers in that area will be generating
enough income to justify Southland ratepyers helping to develop the area.

Yes a POLL tax should be introduced so that all residents appreciate the services that are on offer and the

The Catlins road from Nugget Point to Curio bay is not all gravel, only parts.
Our fire Brigade wholeheartlly supports the sealing of the parts not sealed.There is a lot of wasted man hours
chasing needless callouts and the potential for a deadly fatality is extremely high..
The proposal to seal the Curio Bay - Haldane 13 km and Slope Point road is well needed.(Proposal could
have been backed up numbers)
The Waipapa Point road will have to be looked at for sealing within the 10 year pllan

Comment:
As a family, and members of the Blackmount Community, who are also highly involved in community
activities and committees, we are really keen to see the old Blackmount School (which will become our
Blackmount Community Centre) become rated amongst all of the houses in our district. We are very
supportive of the rate that will help maintain this building for the future. This will help provide a small
steady income that will help the Community Centre Commitee to keep hire charges affordable, and to plan
maintenance work. We think a proposed rate is comparable to other communities and a fair way to fund it.
The school/community centre can remain the heart of Blackmount and the community's identity.
regards
Richard and Trudy Slee

Comment:
Council currently employs a sole practitioner lawyer , Barry Slowley , to perform all or most of its resource
management legal work . Mr Slowley also performs a similar function for Environment Southland .
According to replies given to me by both Councils , neither Council has a written contract of contract with
Mr Slowley , neither Council monitors his performance and neither Council has a conflict of interest policy
which covers him . According to information supplied to me by SDC , Mr Slowley has been paid over
$285,000 in the 3 years ended 31 March 2014 . Environment Southland advised a figure for the same period
of $790,000 .
Council should immediately place its resource management legal work out to tender . The tender document
should include , amongst other things, the duties to be performed , the way in which performance will be
monitored , the duties of the appointee under the Local Government Act . Applicants should required to have
a detailed policy on how conflicts of interest are identified and managed . This is particularly important
where an appointee also acts for another nearby local authority , where there is the potential for legal
privilege to be used to reduce transparency when , if each council employed different lawyers , there would
be no loss of transparency .
