What is the council doing to acknowledge Matariki?
Matariki, the Māori New Year, is typically marked by the rise of the Matariki star cluster and the sighting of the next new moon. Some iwi observe the rise of the lone star Puaka as the beginning of the new year.
In 2020, the Matariki cluster will set on 15 May and return from 13–16 July. The Matariki period is 13–20 July, which is when we will be acknowledging it, as well as sharing with you some of the things we're learning, such as why Matariki has 9 stars and what each of those stars represent.
Yesterday marked the official opening of the joint Ruamāhanga Roads depot and another postive step forward in the working relationship between Carterton District Council, South Wairarapa District Council and Fulton Hogan.
Thank you to our local tangata whenua for making the event special with the whakawātea on the building, the karanga and karakia.

Today our Animal Management Officer Karen and Community Services Manager Carrie went to visit Room 10 at Carterton School after some of the students wrote a letter to our council about the amount of dog poo they found in Carrington Park last month 🐕💩
It was great to talk to them about what the council is doing to try and keep our public spaces poop-free and we're really excited Room 10 agreed to design some new posters for our parks to remind people to scoop their dog's poop!
We will share the designs with you once we get them in.

What about getting rid of the plastic bags for rubbish the council uses
So how long does it take a plastic bag to decompose?
