Waikato District Council has published a pre-election report. It talks about the issues we face as Council, and promotes public discussion ahead of October’s council elections.
The report covers spending on some big ticket items for Raglan including:
Raglan wastewater treatment plant upgrades – $15.6 million This project stems from Raglan’s level of service upgrade in treatment plant (expiring consent). This amount is considered a contribution towards a treated disposal option that is provided for by Waikato Regional Council’s consent (2020 onward). The preferred method could be a marine outfall, land application or re-use options.
Raglan stormwater reticulation extensions – $2 million Some parts of Raglan are prone to isolated seasonal flooding. This upgrade will address those issues and is part of a multi-year project.
Raglan wharf – $267,000 This budget is for the replacement of the timber handrails around the wharf and out to the dolphin (the concrete platform extending out into the harbour from the wharf used by larger vessels to tie up to the wharf).
District wide skate parks – $400,000 This budget is to upgrade or develop skate parks in Raglan and Tuakau.
District wide water supply treatment plant renewals – $2.5 million A renewal programme over the next four years will see our aging assets improved at the 7 district wide treatment plants located in Huntly, Ngaruawahia, Te Kauwhata, Raglan, Port Waikato, Te Akau and Onewhero.
