Trees Interfering with Power Lines

Signage – Ohinemuri Park

As the public toilets in Ohinemuri Park are now completed, the Parks and Reserves Manager requested the members now consider signage at the park. It was agreed that staff investigate options of a suitable sign.

The Secretary of the Association has written requesting the association be allowed to re-site the flood lights which are being replaced in the No.1 field at the Domain. The members were unsure of who owned these lights so ownership would need to be confirmed before such a request was accepted.
