Latest News 08/09 Annual Report to be Adopted October 28 Masterton District Council will adopt its Annual Report for the year ended June 2009 tomorrow (Wednesday October 28).  Masterton Mayor Garry Daniell said the highlight of the year was gaining a Resource Consent to upgrade the Homebush Sewerage treatment plant. “It was ‘a huge achievement for the Council’ and one which was the culmination of many years work. The process of dealing with appeals is still to be worked through but gaining the consent has meant the Council can confidently plan in its LTCCP for this major project,” Mr Daniell said.  The other milestone achievement for Masterton District Council was the successful negotiation of a six days a week Masterton – Auckland Air New Zealand flight service run by Eagle Air.    “We got the go-ahead in September 2008 and by March 2009 the service was ‘up in the air above Masterton’.  Council constructed a new terminal building and extended a taxiway. The service has been an overwhelming success with very high levels of passenger occupancy,” Mr Daniell said.  He acknowledged support of Trust House, Wairarapa Building Society and Carterton District Council.  Mr Daniell also said the 2008/09 Annual Report received an unqualified audit report and that the report showed the Council was in a ‘good financial position’. 27 October 2009
