Update August/Sept

We have had numerous contacts with CERA senior staff since the letter from Roger Sutton to Orange Zone residents dated 01 August.  We wrote specifically to request clarification of our notification status.  His letter did not mention Brookhaven.  We also asked for feedback on our land in view of media reporting about area wide ground settlement for parts of Woolston and Ferrymead.  As many of you are aware on-going land mapping, aerial survey and sampling has taken place in and around Brookhaven since late March.  Roger Sutton's response is attached, please note, this was not received until 17th, Sept, even though it is dated 8 Sept.  We have a very good rapport with key staff in his office. We also have good contact within Tonkin and Taylor. We can assure residents that CERA has a clear understanding of our situation, yet it is apparent that there is a staging process for orange zone suburbs.  We understand people want answers and we have communicated concerns, frustrations and needs appropriately in good faith.
