That the Great Barrier Local Board:

a)      formally considers and notes the deferral of capex projects to 2015/2016 outlined in Attachment A of the Deferral of 2014/2015 capital projects report and in particular that funding for the potential purchase of Glenfern Sanctuary is retained pending the Governing Body’s decision.

b)      notes that any projects where timing has been deferred, but project planning is underway, should be given high priority in the 2015/2016 capital programme.
