I've just come back from Porirua's wallpaper factory and I'm feeling inspired! [ I'm tempted to paper my lounge with the dog print but my colleague says I might be over doing it.]
Aspiring Walls is the only manufacturer of wallpaper in the Southern Hemisphere and it's been here since the 1950s.
I'm curious, when it comes to walls are you a paperer or a painter? Let us know!

We asked and you told us what you would like us to focus on and below are some of the main themes. For the full story on what we heard go to: haveyoursay.gw.govt.nz...

There is a high demand for more engagement and consultation with community groups, and in general more engagement with the general public.

There were a number of people and groups looking for a more collaborative approach

GWRC should act as more of a facilitator rather than the practitioner, and assist in the coordination of community groups more. We should work with and support community groups.

We need to balance the wants of recreational hunters with the undertaking of pest control, and utilise these groups more.

We'll now go off and do some writing and come back to you with a draft early next year.

Many thanks,

The Biosecurity Team
