Mr Smith outline the good working liaison the station has with the Golden Bay Promotion Association and informed the Tribunal that for the first 2 years of operation of the proposed relay station 2ZN would not employ anyone on a full-time basis but would use the services of the Golden Bay Promotion Association to obtain the necessary information for broadcast.

The Chairman of the Golden Bay Promotion Association, K. B. Barry, also gave evidence before the Tribunal. He explained the way in which the combined committee of the Golden Bay Promotion Association, the Takaka Lions Club and the Golden Bay Jaycees had conducted their fund raising for the cost of erecting a mast and establishing the repeater station at Golden Bay by telephone appeal. Mr Barry said that he thought almost everyone in Golden Bay was associated in some way with the Golden Bay Promotion Association and all were in favour of the repeater station. He confirmed that even with the repeater there will be a few people in the district who will still receive a poor, or even no, signal. However, these people have been contacted and although they hope to receive better signals with a repeater they do not expect to.

D. J. Gatland, the Corporation's Supervising Engineer responsible for medium and high frequency radio coverage planning, also gave evidence. He outlined the proposed transmission system and confirmed that planning permission had been obtained and Ministry of Transport approval obtained for the proposed mast. In his view the radio transmission system proposed will economically provide reliable radio coverage for the target area and incorporation of the latest advances in transmitter technology will allow community involvement in the provision of the transmission facilities to contribute significantly to the viability of the project. Mr Gatland also confirmed that although the Golden Bay Promotion Association are contributing to the establishment costs, the maintenance will be a charge on the Corporation.

A large number of letters in support of the proposal were forwarded to the Tribunal. These included letters from various MPs, a number of local companies, the Golden Bay Returned Services Association, the Golden Bay County Council, Nelson Bays United Council, various service clubs in the district, 2 school principals and assorted residents. All letters supported the proposal.

The Tribunal gave its oral decision immediately after the hearing. It has been clearly demonstrated that the Golden Bay area receives inadequate reception of the Nelson Station and that they could have severe consequences for the local residents in times of civil emergency or natural disaster. Apparently this area is highly susceptible to flooding and Golden Bay is on the earthquake fault line running down from Wellington. The Golden Bay Promotion Association has produced clear evidence of the support of local residents for the repeater station. Not only have written submissions been made but a substantial financial commitment has been obtained to enable the proposal to go ahead.

Dated this 31st day of October 1984.
