Community Board decision meeting

Following community consultation the following changes were made to the proposed plan:

• moving the speed hump to the street narrowing outside 131 and 138 Slater Street, and
• moving the proposed street narrowing outside 137 and 142 Slater Street 6 metres north to acknowledge concerns about loss of car parking outside properties and access to driveways.

The Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board will make a decision after they have read the staff report, considered all feedback and heard from those who wish to speak to them about their submission.
