Group to guide sustainability focus
Hastings District Mayor Lawrence Yule is hosting a forum to decide the direction and membership of a proposed
Sustainability Advisory Group.
The forum is open for all to attend and will take place in the Hastings District Council Chamber at 5.30pm on Thursday
29 November.
Mayor Lawrence Yule said the forum was designed to bring together people from all over the district who had an invested
interest in issues of sustainability and the environment.
“I want to hear from any individual or group who has something positive to contribute because we have a prime
opportunity here to put together a strong, forward-focused and progressive group passionate about sustainability. In the
past we have paid lip-service to these issues. It is now time to push them to the forefront of our thinking and our
decisionmaking,” said Mr Yule.
A Sustainability Advisory Group will be established out of the forum and will then meet on an on-going basis to add an
environmental focus to the work of the Hastings District Council.
