Intention to appoint unsuccessful candidate to the Mataura Community Board

The Gore District Council, at its meeting held on 18 March 2025, resolved in accordance with section 117 (3)(a) of the Local Electoral Act 2001, to appoint Constance Waihape to fill an extraordinary vacancy in the Mataura Community Board created by the resignation of Colleen Lieshout.

Ms Waihape is eligible to be appointed as a member of the Board by virtue of being the highest voting unsuccessful candidate at the 2022 Mataura Community Board elections.

Section 118 (1)(a) and (b) of the Local Electoral Act 2001 requires the Council to give public notice of the resolution passed and the process by which the person named in the resolution was selected for appointment.

The expiry of the prescribed period of 30 days will be 17 April 2025; and on the basis that the selected candidate accepts the appointment, the Council will, at an extraordinary Council meeting to be held on 17 April, confirm the appointment described above.

Charlton Road Watermain Renewal

From Monday 6 January, Charlton Road, between Terry Road and Oreti Street, will be reduced to one lane traffic, with traffic lights in place. This will be in place for approximately 7 weeks due to the renewal of an aging watermain. The work done will also add additional firefighting capacity along Charlton Road.

At times, there may also be restricted parking near the Robertson Street intersection. Travelling this route during this time may cause delays.

Kaiwera Downs wind farm road closure

With Mercury starting construction of stage 2 of its Kaiwera Downs wind farm, the road to the site will be closed for an extended period.

Isla Road will be closed from 24 July 2024 to 31 December 2026, although residents will be able to use it.

The closure is due to the significant increase in heavy traffic and large machinery during the stage 2 construction phase.

Flush water before drinking

The Ministry of Health recommends flushing a mugful of water from your drinking water tap each morning, before use, to remove any traces of metals from the plumbing fittings that may have dissolved.

This simple precaution is recommended for all households in the District, whether on public or private water supplies, as trace metals in water can pose a small risk to your health.
