Notes for presentation to Orakei Local Board on Thursday 5 December

· I am John La Roche and I represent Friends a Kepa Bush, a group of 21 volunteers who are mainly involved with checking and re-baiting rat and possum traps. However we also pick up rubbish and take a keen interest in how the bush is maintained in relation to weed control and pathway maintenance.

· The public greatly enjoy the up-graded pathways, stairways and signage funded over the last two years by Orakei Local Board. Unfortunately the pathway beside the stream below Thatcher Street was not included in this work. It becomes very muddy in the winter months and needs to be improved.

· The report describes the up-grading required and it is recommended that the contractor for the previous work, Environmental Construction Solutions should be engaged to undertake the task. I was hoping to have had their estimated price but this had not been received by Monday 2 December. Access to the area is down multiple stairways. Because if this it may be necessary to use a helicopter to fly gravel and other equipment into place.

· Maintenance of pathways and particularly the clearance of stormwater drains is vital to prevent the last two years of improvements being severely damaged. The Council contractor Ventia has failed in this regard and I recommend;

“That Ventia’s maintenance contract at Kepa Bush be terminated and a new contract for maintenance be negotiated with Environmental Construction Solutions Ltd.”

· Silting in Pourewa Estuary is of concern because the two creeks discharging to the estuary from Kepa Bush carry significant quantities of silt. I recommend;
“That a specialist consultant be engaged to assess the silting entering Pourewa Estuary and propose measures to minimise the problem.”
