3.1 POLICIES
The Manager Environmental Services has taken a list of Environment policies to
Management for consideration as to what needs to go and what needs to stay. The
Governance section of these will go to Council in coming meetings for review.
Governance policies in the administration area that were reviewed last year, but
require annual review, will also be before Council in coming meetings.
3.2 ELLEN STREET LIBRARY
The Nyrstar Museum Working Party set up by Council had a very short lifespan. It
was determined that the role of the Committee could be carried out more simply by
just getting simple agreement on the major points of the lease, then allowing Nyrstar
time and space to plan the museum without restrictions of the Committee.
The decision to terminate the Committee is expected to speed up the process of
making the old library a first class museum capable of adding considerably to the
city’s tourism assets. Nyrstar will shortly visit the library to determine what items may
be useful to be kept for the museum, after which an auction will be held for the
remaining items.
