1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Sixteen Sleeps to Go? Can you believe that song is

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: over forty years old?

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 2: Hamus riek No just has gone in an absolute flash, isn't.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: It talking forty milestones? Couldn't help myself booked tickets to

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Barnes last night. Forty years of working class man.

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 3: Yes, he won't be doing too manymore, so you've got

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 3: to catch him shortly.

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: I think, well, that's right, what's left of Jimmy is

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: coming to see us April next year. That's at the

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: Wolfbrook Arena or Hawncastle or whatever they call it, the

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: existing one anyway, one of everybody who seems to becoming

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: a christ Church now. And then for that new Takaha Stadium.

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: We've got six sixty opening that and those tickets are

14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: on sale Thursday, so that's probably something else. I'm going

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: to need to do some explaining to our wife and before.

16
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: And then I've heard this morning that the All Blacks

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: are ditching Dunedin for Takaha too, which was always going

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: to happen. You'll be able to get me into.

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: That, yes, yes, yes, yes, I was ushering you around.

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: You just pick your seat, I'll show you where it

21
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: is and you can sit there. We know people you

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: have off the stadium.

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Is it good?

24
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: It's wonderful.

25
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: I bet it is so good.

26
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: And how lucky we you know, it's not even an

27
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: hour of the road.

28
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, Kendry is going to love it. It's

29
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: just a special, special stadium. And I see the new

30
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: swimming pool due to open next week as well.

31
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Yes, well, yeah, it gets to work out this week

32
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: with the special Olympics, of which we have an Ashburton contingent.

33
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: We're going to catch up with Colleen on Thursday too

34
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: and tell us a little more about that at the

35
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: back of the big opening ceremony. Anyway, we're here to

36
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: talk some business and why don't we start worth these

37
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: level two water restrictions that are now in place. Yes,

38
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: what does that mean?

39
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: So it means that between in the evening, so between

40
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: six and midnight, you can only use a sprinkler on

41
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: the day that matches your street number, your address.

42
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: So if you're an even.

43
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: Numbered house, so I'm a thirty, yeah, I can only

44
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: use the sprinker on an even on every second day,

45
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: on an even day. So it just means that we're

46
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: sharing the load a little bit. We've seen the thirty

47
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: percent in some water usage in towns across the district.

48
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: It's getting dry, it's getting hot in the in the

49
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: system because of the size of the pipes and the

50
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: and the pressure and everything really just needs a little

51
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: bit of a help. So if we all just share

52
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: the load and water every second day in the evenings,

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: then we should be able to get through.

54
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: And there's details for the different rule schemes because it

55
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: differs a little bit there on the council website. I

56
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: remember talking back to in town here with Neil Brown

57
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: a few years back, and I remember him saying that

58
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: when we put these restrictions on, it's not necessarily about

59
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: water supply, but it's getting it to the tap, the

60
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: pressure on the pressures.

61
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: That's right.

62
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: So so the if the volume of water being used

63
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: is so great, it's it's very hard to get that

64
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: amount of water through the system.

65
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: So it's it's not shortage of water, it's the system

66
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: needs And.

67
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: We're down a pump at the moment too, aren't we.

68
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: There's work being done on that one at Argill Park.

69
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: While there is that, that's the UV treatment system being installed,

70
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: and the one up in the domain is the last

71
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: one that will be finished in the new year, so

72
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: they're relevant. But the main thing is just this increase

73
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: in usage with the hot water yeah, hot hot weather.

74
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. And there's like higher levels to level two, right,

75
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: So if we can all do our bit now, then

76
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: it prevents us having to ramp it up.

77
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.

78
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: It gets it progresses to not using it at all

79
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 2: if the demand gets just so great. So if we'll

80
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: do a little bit now, we should be able to

81
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: get through. It was the first year for a while

82
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: then we've actually had to put the restrictions through. So

83
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: it just shows show that the November December period this

84
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: summer has been a bit warmer than it has been

85
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: in the year last year or two.

86
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: He final council chat for us for the year, gee

87
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: blinking your Missiday hamish Rea.

88
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: Well, well, thank you for having us all year. It's

89
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: been a great opportunity for us to chat about stuff

90
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: that's happening around the place.

91
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: So she is some of the great create things that

92
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: going on. Is there anything that sort of sticks out

93
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: from the council year that's been.

94
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: Well, Elections is always interesting through the year. Yes, the

95
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: new boss absolutely.

96
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: I think it was lovely to see the mini golf

97
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: opened this year. Great to get the deal done for

98
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: the bridge and seeing the trial piles starting now and

99
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: construction starting next year. So that's been a milestone. Lost

100
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: the government reform we're battling with so the water, the

101
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: water stuff in particular, but just today we're expecting the

102
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Minister Bishop to announce the RMA reforms that will be

103
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: quite impactful for for local government and the community. So

104
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: it's been a year of significant change and a whole

105
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: lot of work done out there. And you know, there's

106
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: a whole lot of stats where we've managed to get

107
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: a lot of things done across both the roading and

108
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: the water and our facilities.

109
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: So what about this one for the haters. So far

110
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: this year we've filled nine thousand, eight hundred potholes, which

111
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: is a big increase from the six thousand, two hundred

112
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: last year.

113
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

114
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: So there's there's work going on and we know it

115
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: will never stop, and we know that we don't get

116
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: everything absolutely perfect, but there's a lot of a lot

117
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: of work happening, a lot of pipes renewed, a lot

118
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: of people coming into Tauati, the library and the artgoing museum,

119
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: and I know the network center had half a million

120
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: people through the year end of June. And here's one

121
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,280
