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.

Progress on Meola overflows

August 8th, 2011

STEPS has held meetings with Auckland City Mayor Len Brown this year.  The Mayor has taken a close interest in Watercare plans for a Central Interceptor. STEPS and Watercare advised the Mayor that this project is a means of reducing the ongoing flooding of Meola Creek, with resultant benefits for Waitemata Harbour and Te Tokaroa / Meola Reef.
The Letter from the Mayor indicates that Watercare has now revised the project dates  so the dates are now four years earlier.  STEPS is delighted by this news and thanks Mayor Brown and Watercare Services. STEPS will continue to support this project.
