A steering group of Te Awamutu and Kakepuku Ward councillors has been formed to consider designs for the proposed Te Awamutu centre upgrade.
Members of the steering group, comprising of Cr Graham Jull, Cr George Simmons, Cr Hazel Barnes, Cr Michael Cox and Cr Laurie Hoverd,
together with Council staff and consultants from Grey Matter, met twice in December 2007 to discuss the establishment of a timetable for the project and the production of a public document that will outline the scope and various project concepts.
Chair of the steering group, Cr Michael Cox, is delighted at the way the project is progressing.
“The issuing of an invitation to make submissions, and to be heard on them is well underway, and members of the public will all be able to express their views and have their say on the upgrade. The steering group, with assistance from Council staff and consultants will then make their recommendations to the full Council. We would also like to welcome Te Awamutu Community Board Chairman Dean Taylor, who has been co-opted into the group ”.
The steering group reports to Waipa District Council’s Strategic Planning Committee, and will meet again in mid January.
