b-heard with Gisborne Chamber of Commerce

A key purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to provide the best commercial environment in which you can achieve your business goals. We do this by giving business a "voice". The Chamber will influence (on your behalf) the rules and regulations that local councils and central government impose on business in order to minimise compliance costs and optimise your business performance. We will be your advocate when you need us and can assist you in overcoming obstacles.

Services include: Lobbying, advocacy, representation to local and central government, economic reporting to business.

Below is a Submission developed by the b-heard group and presented to the Gisborne District Council on Friday the 17th October relating to the Wastewater Plan.  If you have any comment or queries, please contact the office and I will pass them on to the b-heard group.  The Chamber welcomes feedback - we need your opinions.

Below is a foundation document - the Greg Dwyer Report.  The Chamber contracted Greg Dwyer to do an Independent Review on "The Business of Councils" - in particular the Gisborne District Council.  We continue to refer back to this document and are in discussion with Council on it's content and the implications and application of different points contained within the document.  Well worth reading!!!
