STEPS AGM highlights, weeds, Westmere Coastal walkway and Central Interceptor

July 4th, 2012

STEPS AGM was held on 14 June 2012 at Alberton.

Some of the highlights were:
– a presentation on weeds in Meola catchment by Melissa Marler
– a talk from Sandra Anderson on the new “Westmere Coastal walkway” which will extend to Te Tokaroa/ Meola Reef and is funded by the Waitemata Local Board
– a presentation on the Central Interceptor by Watercare Services.

A resolution was passed as follows: That STEPS seek to agree a process whereby STEPS can pro-actively work with Watercare during the planning / construction of the Central Interceptor, particularly in relation to the three upper Meola sites (Haverstock, Lyon Ave, Mt Albert Memorial), and with regard to daylighting, stream naturalisation and landscaping.
