Sessions on natural hazards
By John Gibb
South Dunedin residents will be able to learn more about natural hazards facing the area through drop-in sessions to be held at the Dunedin Gasworks Museum early next month.
The Otago Regional Council is organising the September 1 and 2 sessions, in collaboration with the Dunedin City Council. The drop-in session on the first day will run from 1.30pm to 7pm, and on the second day from 10am to 2.30pm.
Last month the ORC released a report titled “Natural Hazards of South Dunedin”. This report consolidated information and analysis gathered over the past seven years on the natural hazards facing the area, particularly the “increased likelihood of surface flooding associated with rising sea level”.

“In a report to be tabled at the ORC’s technical committee tomorrow, Ms Rowe said South Dunedin was “an integral part of the wider Dunedin community” and many people and groups had an interest in how its risks would be managed. The report said the ORC also planned several other communication activities over the hazards plan, this month and next.” –ODT

Election Year. This post is offered in the public interest.
What if? Dunedin... 
I see they are still on about “rising sea level”!
And rising groundwater levels.
All bunk.
And SINKING.
Not enough Real News.
Initial reaction: Dunedin usage of the word “stakeholder” means “excluding people outside our own preferred group of moneyed allies” and “comprising interested parties” in the sense of parties with self-interest that aligns with ours”.
Stakeholders. Another loathsome mealy mouth word used by dickheads who don’t want to sound like dickheads.
As you say, Hype, interested parties is more honest.
Have been informed of a truth and honour exercise planned for early September at South Dunedin.
Do they pick sides: who has to tell the truth, and who aims to get through the session with honour intact? Is it like Truth Dare or Promise?
At the pearly gates anything can happen.
Stakeholder is the one who holds the stake and the hammer. When I nod my head he hits it. And that really hurts.
In the case of the DCC, it determines who are the stakeholders. In reality, everyone that pays rates in Dunedin is a stakeholder but that wouldn’t allow those with agendas to achieve their goals.
Ratepayers aren’t stakeholders, we’re staked out
– for coyotes, jackals and white-ants.
