Issue 48 | 7 May 2021

This week, smile, you’re on candid camera…we’ve made wearable video cameras available for some of our council officers, and we’re saying “cheque yourself before you wreck yourself” as Council will stop accepting cheques after May 28. We’re continuing our Long Term Plan Drop-in sessions with a FREE BBQ tomorrow at the North End New World and sessions coming up in Kurow, Otematata, Omarama and at the Ōamaru Farmers Market.

It’s your future, Waitaki, have it the way you want it.
