However, not all meetings are created equal. While some involve all the councillors and require major decision-making, others might just require one or two councillors to be present – along with external appointees or industry or Government representatives. The most important meetings are full council meetings, lead by the mayor with all 12 councillors required to attend. Generally held once a month, this is where recommendations from committees and subcommittees are brought to be discussed, debated, and ultimately decided on. Sometimes these meetings are held more frequently, if there is urgent business that comes up that requires the council’s attention, or for sorting out major council policies such as the Long Term Plan – as was the case this year.

All of us - households and businesses - will need to halve our emissions by 2030. Businesses and farms have never had to make such a rapid change before, so they will need help, advice and support. And that is why Businesses for Climate Action exists. The group starts with some important assumptions. To manage its emissions, a business first needs to measure them – to see how large they are, and understand where they’re coming from. Many business leaders have said they were surprised at how easy this step was, and after doing this it was easy to decide what to do next to reduce them.
“There will be a visible police presence in the area for the next couple of hours while the NZDF s EOD unit disposes of the material safely,” a police statement said. In a statement Nelson City Council said items from the park’s collection were being investigated for picric acid. “Picric acid was widely used in early forms of medicine and medical supplies, including on gauze pads, and as an antiseptic. It is a volatile substance sensitive to heat, frictions and shock and has been used as a military explosive. “Any items considered hazardous will be removed for safe disposal off site.”
