Ngaio Crofton Downs Residents Association

Our Monthly recycling collection is on again tomorrow – Fits Saturday of every month, 10am to 12 noon, at Ngaio Union Church.

Remember, the plastic caps we collect must be marked with the recycling mark 2 or 5, and will need to be seperated.

This month we will also be accepting ewaste, which includes small and medium devises and appliances. We can not collect TV, or monitors.

See below for a schedule of what else we will be collecting each month.

Each month this year at our recycling collections, we will also have a collection of other larger items that we will collect. Below are the dates and items:

Crofton downs primary school are holding their Matsuri Gala on Sunday 2nd April 2023 11am – 2pm.

This is just in from Cat Ayres Project Lead – Kia Mouriora te Kaiwharawhara Sanctuary to Sea, who is drawing our attention to the draft Stormwater Management Strategy, which will have an impact on the Kaiwharawhara Stream. The Kaiwharawhara Stream runs through Trelissick park, and is a gem for our area. More information and ideas on how to become involved are below.

From Cat:- As members of the Sanctuary to Sea Community network, we wanted to highlight that Wellington Water are currently running a feedback process for their draft Stormwater Management Strategy. For those of you who haven’t heard about this process yet, it will be closing at the end of February.

This strategy will be used to prioritise stormwater work across the Wellington region over the coming decades. It will have a significant impact on the Kaiwharawhara, which has been prioritised as 8^th out of 9 catchments (p.98) in Wellington City.

You can engage through attending online or in-person hui next week, completing a survey or emailing your feedback (more information here). The hui are no longer showing online but you should be able to join by emailing stormwater@wellingtonwater.co.nz. I have also included details for Tuesday’s zoom meeting at the bottom of this email.

We are working on our submission, which will highlight our concerns for the Kaiwharawhara. Please get in touch if you would like to share your thoughts for us to incorporate, or if you would like to receive details of the submission in order to include this in your own feedback.

Thank you in advance for any support you are able to provide.
