The Panel and Council staff agreed at yesterdays meeting that the 3 people submitting at the meeting would be fully involved with the drafting of the new Bylaw, which will then go out for public consultation.What I didn't mention was yesterday morning, prior to the Oral Submissions Hearing meeting, Mark Goodwin took the panel and Staff to visit the beehives at Te Awamutu Primary School. That definately changed the attitudes of the Staff who were there.There was a clear acceptance that all the previous rules were wrong, and the new bylay would be about mitigating nuisance following complaints. They were provided a copy of Hamiltons Animal Nuisance Bylaw as a starting point. I can assure you that any attempt by WDC to undermine what has already been achieved will be met with an equal amount of pressure that has occurred during the last 18 months.
