Hopefully you will have seen the submissions from our experts on the TDC website. While our experts have done a great job, we're still counting on the 'lay' evidence that you will bring.
Your ideas about the impact of the ramp are all valuable, and you need not worry about data or evidence - Kate Mitchell and Sally Gepp have made sure we've got submissions that cover all the technical points. Just speak from your concerns about how it will affect your enjoyment of Mapua.
Besides, the application isn't exactly strong on detail - the latest thing they've come up with is a "computer-based app" that would control bookings and allocate time slots among other wonderful things. The technology is what is called vapourware at the moment - all sizzle and no sausage.
Still it's better than their other strategy for managing traffic - boaties would 'naturally spread their arrival times'.
If you're making a written submission or using Powerpoint, get your material to TDC by 5pm this Thursday (21 November).
If we can be of any help, contact Mike on 021 999 414.
