TANGI UTIKERE (Labour—Palmerston North): Kia orana, Mr Chair. Thank you. It's a pleasure to rise as the sponsor of this local bill, the Palmerston North Reserves Empowering Amendment Bill, where the Palmerston North City Council is the promoter. I intend to make some comments for the benefit of the committee and to place on record, and then, obviously, very happy to take any questions. I have had an opportunity to look at contributions from members as part of the second reading on this local bill; noting, however, that the Environment Committee did report to the House with a recommendation that the bill be passed in its current form with no amendments. This is a discrete piece of land in Palmerston North. It's located adjacent to and nearby a number of other recreational reserves within the city. Actually, I know that many colleagues who had the benefit of attending Palmerston North for the Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) conference in the last couple of weeks became quite familiar with it, passing that particular space while they spent some time in the city.
