Council is seeking the views of the wider community on the future of the Bushside stockwater intake.

Property owners or occupiers that pay for stockwater from the intake have already been surveyed and now is the opportunity for the wider community and district to give feedback on the intake.

The Bushside intake supplies stockwater to about 14 users from Taylors Stream, and its future is being considered as part of Council’s decision to exit the stockwater delivery service.

The feedback and information from the users is being used to see who still needs stockwater.

Group Manager of Infrastructure and Open Spaces Neil McCann said the wider community had until 4 June to have its say, via the online survey.

“Bushside is a small intake, but we know there are people across the community with views on it.”

Council’s work to exit the stockwater delivery service involves the separate consideration of 17 intakes. Each is considered in a two-stage process – stockwater users of the intake will be surveyed first, followed by the wider community.

The next intake for consideration is Stoney Creek and letters are being sent to those who pay for stockwater from this intake.
