'Mataura residents no longer need to worry', all 10,000 tonnes of dross removed


“The safe removal means Mataura residents no longer need to worry about the risk from the material, which gives off ammonia gas if it gets wet.
“I am glad that the dross has now gone from Mataura and local residents do not need to worry any longer. The safe removal will protect the wellbeing of Southland s people and its waterways.
“Now that the Mataura site has been cleaned up, the focus will move to the removal of material from other known sites in Southland,” Parker said.

The Gore District Councils controversial ‘Streets Alive’ road safety project has come to an end after a three-month trial, and it says there have been some positive outcomes.
Motorists were travelling at slower speeds around schools, there was better traffic flow at problem intersections, and temporary furniture in Irk Street had proved popular with the majority of businesses in the area.
Roading asset manager Peter Standring said the temporary furniture was likely to stay short-term, while the council worked with businesses to develop a permanent solution, and roundabouts and intersection changes would remain in place until it was able to analyse feedback. ....

But the Government is currently negotiating with the company to try to keep it open for another three to five years so the Southland economy has time to transition to other industries.
No decision has yet been made, though Rio Tinto has said it wants a decision on the plant’s future made before Christmas.
