Following is an invitation to attend a meeting next Tuesday evening (17th) in Ashburton to discuss the decision by ECan to grant the RDR a consent to take another 10m3 of water from the Rangitata River, along with other consents. If you are concerned as most of us are that this decision will have the most profound effect on the Rangitata River and one that the river will probably not recover from then you need to come along and have a listen to see where we can go from here. It's gloves off time guys. I don't think many of us thought that this would happen but it has, it is now a reality. For the Commissioners to pretty much ignore the evidence of anglers and river user tells us something about the culture that still exists amongst our decision makers in Environment Canterbury. Car pooling would be a good idea so have a ring around to jack up a ride.
"You are invited to attend an informational evening hosted by Central South Island Fish & Game that will breakdown and analyse the RDR decision issued by the Commissioners which granted a total of 22 resource consents.
The presentation will be led by Central South Island Fish & Game legal counsel, Ms Sarah Eveleigh and will review the findings of the decision and the outcomes achieved by Central South Island Fish & Game as well as the outcomes not achieved.
The discussion will also review the merits of the Rangitata River Water Conservation Order 2006 and will briefly touch on the process for future engagement on a flow and allocation regime for the river.
We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday. Please feel free to share this with others who may be interested in attending.
Meeting date: Tuesday 17 July 2018
Time: 6pm to 8.30pm
Location: Ashburton Events Centre
211 Wills Street, Ashburton
Bradford Room (upstairs)
Kind regards
Jay Graybill
Chief Executive
