The slippage involved the following projects:<br />
. Field trial procedures are still being conducted for the Turangi wastewater treatment plant<br />
process improvements.<br />
Approval for changes in the concept plan and funding of the Waitahanui Water Treatment<br />
Plant Upgrade has been delayed as trials are still being conducted to determine an<br />
affordable level of operational expenditure in the long term. When results of the trials become<br />
available a variation request will be submitted for approval by the Ministry of Health.<br />
. Designs for the Mangakino civic centre upgrade are still being developed for public<br />
consultation and negotiations with private land owners are still being held.<br />
. Development of the project plan for the Investigation of options for the River Road<br />
community hall is still in progress.<br />
. Construction of the Kaimanawa Reserve toilet and changing rooms cannot commence as<br />
additional funds have to be requested through the Annual Plan process.<br />
. <strong>Council</strong> sign off and implementation of the Joint Management Agreement with Te Arawa<br />
River Iwi Trust has been deferred as the Tuwharetoa Maori Trust Board CEO and TARIT<br />
Executive Chair are still holding discussions on several issues about the agreement.<br />
Two projects will be carried over to the next financial year:<br />
. Timeframes for the Flood Hazard <strong>District</strong> Plan Change have been adjusted to reflect a<br />
number of changes in the regional policy direction, and to await greater clarity regarding the<br />
Government's proposed changes to natural hazard planning through the Resource<br />
management Act.<br />
Seal extension on Wereta Road is deferred due to budget considerations, and is planned to<br />
be completed by the end of the calendar year.
