JOB LOSSES FOR HARBOURSIDE - A CALL FOR ACTION

You will have seen some media coverage and received an email recently rom the Chamber to all members calling for action with regard the proposed DCC's Plan Change 7: Harbourside

Recent media reports have set some background to the Chamber’s twelve month work to change the proposals in Plan Change 7 – Harbourside to avoid the loss of industry and jobs that independent advice commissioned by Council says will occur.

To support the Chamber’s work, in conjunction with four other appellants to the scheme, the Chamber commissioned a professional report from Mr Don Anderson, Senior Planner of Patterson Pitts.The Chamber has now decided to release this report to Chamber members as a background document to the Chamber’s call for action.

THE PATTERSON PITTS REPORT
Members will find statements that call into question:
• the foundation for the proposal
• the flaws and self interest in the management of the proposal and;
• the background of Council decision making.
The Chamber has no reason to call into question any of the information contained in the Paterson Pitts report.
Members are asked to read in full this vital document.
