This week there are events happening around New Zealand to celebrate and we'll be bringing one of our vehicles along to the public Ride ‘n’ Drive Day on Sunday 17 September. It’s an opportunity for people to see, ride in, or drive an EV and to talk to an EV owner about why they love their EV. Check out the full scope of events at The Better NZ Trust - Leading The Charge.
As an organisation that is confronting the impacts of climate change in all of our work, we understand the urgency with which a transition to a low carbon economy must be achieved. That’s why we are doing what we can to reduce our own emissions.
One of the ways that we are doing this is though prioritising the purchase of EVs when we buy new vehicles. We now have a fleet of 8 electric vehicles! And it will only grow over time.

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!

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
