Sharing the findings
We plan to share findings of these new studies with you, the Head of the Lake community, in the week of the 30 May-3 June, and will confirm the date as soon as possible.
When and how?
ORC and the consultants will show the work they carried out to investigate the flooding and liquefaction hazards, and present their findings in a series of online presentations. At this stage, we plan to do this online due to the uncertainty around in-person attendance.
Presentations will also be recorded and uploaded to our project web page because we know not everyone will be able to attend live sessions, or may want to revisit them.
This won't be the last time we engage with you. Importantly, we will follow this session up with other opportunities for further discussion with us and consultant experts. We value your feedback as we work to decide what the next steps might be for assessment and management of these hazards.
Release of information at public council meetings
These new reports will become publicly available and are scheduled to be presented to the ORC Data and Information Committee on 8th June. All ORC Committee or Council agendas including the reports are available online for any member of the public to see. The meetings are streamed live on the ORC YouTube page. Dunedin-based media including the Otago Daily Times, often attend these meetings, so the information, among other Regional Council information, will also be available for them to report on.
To coincide with the council reports being publicised, the new technical reports will be publicly available from the 8th June on the project web page.
Ahead of that time, we plan to work with the media with our own media engagement. Because this is your community, we will ensure you and your local media are also included in this release.
