Deputations and public questions to council, each opening on what council's minutes record of it.

2026-01-22 Public question Ordinary Meeting

Rhea Den Braasem

Probably heard at the meeting. A partial name match places these questions at 22:15 in council's recording. We have not confirmed it is this speaker, so we publish no transcript.

The feed timestamps the whole public question block rather than each speaker, so this starts at the top of that block.

What the minutes record

Question 1

What is the cost, per tonne, of material removed by truck from 62 Lake Macdonald Drive?

Response from Chris Steel, Acting Director Infrastructure Services

Council is unable to provide the cost per tonne of Material Removed from 62 Lake MacDonald Drive as it would be breaching commercial in confidence through release of Carruthers Contracting’s competitive pricing rates, being of sensitive information

Question 2

How many tonnes of material have been removed by truck from 62 Lake Macdonald Drive so far?

Response from Chris Steel, Acting Director Infrastructure Services

An estimated total tonnage of 15,500 tonnes from 62 Lake MacDonald Drive.

This is council's own minuted record, in council's words. Nothing is reworded: the questions, headings and bullets are laid out as the printed minutes set them. Left out are the speaker's name (it heads this page), the minutes' page-header dates, and any “meeting adjourned” line the extract caught. Where an officer answered, the answer is minuted with the question and appears above.

Transcript of the recording

Not published. The recording is linked above from the point our partial name match found; until we can confirm who is speaking there, we will not put words under this name.
