7. PROGRESS REPORT ON RESULTS OF THE WASTE COLLECTION CHANGES

   J Burbery
   Senior Policy Analyst	16 January 2006

   Reporting on the period July to December 2005, being the first half of the fifth year since changes were made to the council's rubbish services to meet the Waste Management Plan targets to reduce waste.

   In general, the six months being reported show a continuation of the previous trend, i.e. small increases in material collected both for recycling and disposal to landfill. Audits of household rubbish show that two thirds of waste could be recycled or composted, with food waste continuing to be the biggest component.

   Recommending that reporting to the Works and Services Committee continue on a six-monthly basis with the next report due in August 2006.

10. 68 HUIA ROAD, HEARING OF OBJECTION TO INSTALL A DRAIN

    G Ockleston
    Manager Stormwater Projects	25 January 2006

    Advising that the Works and Services Committee resolved to adjourn the hearing regarding proposed public drainage works through 68 Huia Road, Pt Chevalier to allow the owners time to consider the independent consultants report and perhaps commission their own report.

    No subsequent communication has been received from the owner and therefore the report is attached [attachment 10.1] unchanged for consideration. Mr Barker has been invited to make an oral submission on this item. The submission he tabled at the October meeting is attached [attachment 10.2] for the committee's information along with the maps of the proposed stormwater drain routes [attachment 10.3].
