A series of meetings is being held next week to gather information from Marlborough Sounds’ residents, ratepayers and businesses to inform the Marlborough Sounds Future Access Study.
The study aims to provide as much long-term access certainty in and out of the Sounds for people as possible. The study is required to inform Council decision-making and access funding from the Government via Waka Kotahi.
The meetings are:

The Zoom meeting is designed for those who can’t attend a face-to-face meeting.
Council has appointed engineering consultants Stantec to carry out the study. At the meetings, the project team, made up of Council and Stantec staff, will ask the community for their thoughts on how people could get in and out of the Sounds in the future. They’ll also be seeking ideas and alternative options and feedback about where improvements or interventions may be able to solve the identified problems.
