REGIONAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT RATING: We're seeking feedback on three possible public transport rating models to help fund bus, community transport and Total Mobility services in the Waikato region. The survey will close on Wednesday, 27 November.
INVASIVE CLAMS: The highly invasive freshwater gold clam, discovered in the Waikato River, has now been declared an Unwanted Organism. This means commercial users, recreational users, and people gathering kai must follow the 'Check, Clean, Dry' guidance provided by Biosecurity New Zealand.
