Riversdale Beach Sewerage Scheme
Riversdale Beach Sewerage Scheme newsletter – October 2009
The tender process has kicked-off and we’re aiming to select a contractor

contractor at your property over the holiday period. This latest newsletter
also provides information about the resource consent process, which may
affect timing and overall costs. You can also read about changes to the
Ministry of Health’s subsidy, as well as payment options Council has put
together to assist property owners in making their financial contribution to
the scheme.

What’s going on? How, when and who’s paying? These are just some of the
questions being asked by property owners at Riversdale Beach as the process
to build the new sewerage scheme continues. This newsletter takes a look at
the decisions made as a result of the recent consultation process. Where to
from here? Masterton District Council intends working collaboratively with
the community to reach its goal of seeing the scheme operational by 2011.
The following pages outline how.

Council to Proceed with Preferred Sewerage Scheme Type & Location at
Riversdale Beach - September 17, 2008
Council has agreed to the
Hearings Committee recommendation to proceed, in principle, with plans to
build a pond-based sewerage treatment and disposal scheme on land owned by
the Tatham family to the south-west of the Riversdale Beach settlement.
In adopting its preferred
scheme type and location in September, 2008, the Council will remain open to
allowing for suitable and viable alternatives to be considered as part of
the procurement process, said CEO Wes ten Hove.
Formal consultation on the
scheme type and location began in June, when Riversdale Beach ratepayers
received an in-depth 16-page consultation pack outlining and explaining the
five options, costs involved in each of them, and an explanation of the cost
allocation methodology used to reach the charges.
