No easy task
narrowing
down squad
• From page 1
New Zealand coach Kiri Shaw
said it had not been an easy
process to narrow down the
squad.
“We are very excited
about this team after a
lengthy but thorough selection
process.
“The opportunity for squad
members to play in a number
of tournaments where they
have been exposed to a higher
level of play and compete against
more experienced women has
been an invaluable exercise,’’
Shaw said.
“Just as important were
observations made at under-18
nationals.
“We have learnt a lot about
players as well as the things we
want to implement in terms of
the team culture we want in
place for this Junior White Sox
team.
“This was an extremely tough
team to select. But it was a good
problem to have. Consistency,
versatility, attitude and
improvement were the basis of
our final 16 women roster for the
World Cup,” she said.
‘Fly-tippers’ could face prosecution
• From page 1
“I still pick up bottles from my
property, people sit on the intersection
drinking beer and throw
them over the fence.”
He said there are a lot of people
walking on Summit Rd who pick
up rubbish and ask to use his
rubbish bin.
“It’s totally fine that [visitors]
use my bin, but you can see how
many people worry about it.”
City council manager of city
streets maintenance Mark Pinner
said staff are aware of the
problem.
“We have received three reports
in the past three days. Two
of these were to report builder
waste and one for household
waste.”
Before this, he said staff
had only received and actioned
only one report in the past 12
months.
“There are no public bins in
the area, and waste, once identified,
is typically removed within
two days.”
He said this type of dumping
is classed as ‘fly-tipping’ and
individuals face prosecution if
caught. Fines range between
$100 and $400 depending on
how much is dumped and what it
contains.
“We encourage the public to
report any such issues. If people
can identify anyone responsible,
we request they provide as much
information as possible so that
we can follow up with them.”
Mt Pleasant is not the only
place which has been treated as a
tip this year.
Bay Harbour News reported in
February that rubbish had been
spilling out of bins at Taylors
Mistake Beach onto the ground
and in January, there were issues
with people dumping green
waste at public areas in Diamond
Harbour.
‘It’s totally fine that
[visitors] use my bin,
but you can see how
many people worry
about it.’

rubbish at the top of Mt Pleasant Rd so others can enjoy the
