The Nelson Sewerage Business Unit (NRSBU) is holding a hui on Thursday 3 November. NRSBU recognises the role of tangata whenua as kaitiaki and seeks to better understand the ongoing concerns that Te Tau Ihu iwi have about NRSBU’s activities, treating and discharging wastewater.
The purpose of this hui is to provide an opportunity for NRSBU staff to talk about what we’ve been doing over the past year to make improvements and what we plan to do over the next year. We are keen to get feedback from iwi so that our efforts can be as effective as possible.
To allow us to provide catering, as well as transport for the Bell Island site visit, please RSVP to Morgelyn.Leizour@ncc.govt.nz by Friday 21 October, if you wish to attend.
The Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit (NRSBU) oversees the Nelson Regional Sewerage Scheme, which is jointly owned by the Nelson City and Tasman District Councils, managing the current treatment facilities and network.
