Wellington City Council

Draft Trade Waste Bylaw

The Wellington City Council intends to make a Trade Waste Bylaw, pursuant to section 491 of the Local Government Act 1974 and its amendments.

The general purpose of this draft bylaw are:

(i) To control the discharge and acceptance of trade wastes in order to protect the sewerage system, sewerage maintenance workers, and the general environment from any deleterious effects of trade waste discharges, and

(ii) to establish a basis for measuring and monitoring trade waste discharges to ensure their compliance with the bylaw,

(iii) to facilitate the calculation of any trade waste charges.

‘Trade waste’ means any liquid, with or without matters in suspension or solution therein, which is being or may be discharged from a trade premises in the course of any trade or industrial process or operation or in the course of any activity or operation of a like nature; but does not include condensing water, surface water, or domestic sewage.

The draft bylaw proposes that the discharge of trade wastes into council sewers should be prohibited in some cases and controlled by means of “consents” to be issued by the council in other cases. The council would be able to impose conditions when granting a “consent”. The schedules to the draft bylaw define the characteristics of trade wastes that are to be prohibited or controlled. The bylaw will not restrict the discharge into the sewers of trade wastes that do not have the defined characteristics of prohibited or controlled trade wastes.

A copy of the draft Trade Waste Bylaw may be inspected free of charge at The Drainage Division’s Offices, Fifth Floor Anvil House, 138 Wakefield Street, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., weekdays.

A copy of the proposed bylaw can be purchased from the drainage divisions office for a fee of $10. A copy of a draft users guide can be purchased from the same office for $2.

The Wellington City Council will receive and consider written representations on the draft bylaw from occupiers or owners of trade premises within Wellington City prior to the 21st day of December 1990. Please address all submissions to The Trade Waste Officer, Drainage Division, Wellington City Council, P.O. Box 2199, Wellington.

Private Bill

Southland Flood Relief Committee Empowering Act 1990

Notice of Intention to Apply for Leave to Introduce a Private Bill

Take notice that the Southland Flood Relief Committee intends to apply for leave to introduce a private bill to be known as “The Southland Flood Relief Committee Empowering Act 1990”.

Objects of the Bill are to discharge the Committee from their administration of certain monies held in trust for the charitable purpose of providing relief or assistance to persons suffering financial hardship by loss or damage from floods which occurred in Southland in January of 1984, and to appoint Trustees to administer the unexpended balance of the Fund for the relief of those persons and in particular for those who suffer subsequent financial hardship by loss or damage by recurring flooding.

Upon the grounds that extensive flooding occurred in Southland in January 1984, the Government appointed a Committee to administer funds provided for the relief of persons suffering financial hardship by loss or damage as a result of that flooding. That Committee comprised the Chairman of the Southland County as its Chairperson, the then Chairman of the Wallace County, the Mayor of the City of Invercargill and the City Manager of the City of Invercargill acted as Secretary to the Committee. Subscriptions to that Fund were made by organisations and individuals throughout New Zealand. A portion of the Fund was subsidised by the Government. Payments have from time to time been made from that Fund for the relief of persons suffering financial hardship by loss or damage in or as a result of that flooding. The accounts for the Fund have now been audited by the Controller and Auditor-General. There is an unexpended balance remaining in the Fund. Properties in Southland, the City of Invercargill and in townships and rural parts of the District of Southland suffered severe flood damage in January 1984 and subsequently those persons whose property has been subjected to recurring floods have suffered additional hardship and it is expedient that the Committee should seek to isolate distress meriting payment from the Fund only to that relating to the January 1984 floods. There are no remaining claims from the 1984 floods to be met and the Committee seeks to disburse the balance of the funds for the relief of persons who have suffered recurrence of flooding subsequent to January 1984. It is desired for the purpose to release the Committee from administration of the remainder of the Fund and to vest its administration in the persons from time to time holding office as the Mayor of the Invercargill City and respectively the Mayors of the Southland District and the Gore District, as if the funds were held in a charitable trust pursuant to the Charitable Trust Act 1957.

Inspection of the Bill may be at the office of the District Court at Invercargill during normal office hours, without fee.

Dated at Invercargill this 2nd day of November 1990.
