Otago Rugby Football Union board members Wayne Graham and
Laurie Mains are together seeking more than $1 million in
damages from Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull over allegations of
defamation, court documents show.
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull has welcomed news ratepayers and
other creditors together owed $2.35 million by the Otago
Rugby Football Union could yet get some of their money back.
Dunedin city councillors took in their first days of a
week-long hearing on the future of the city yesterday, the
first 30 or so residents giving their thoughts on a draft
spatial plan.
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull has said he will not be "mucking
around" after holding talks with the head of a residents'
group claiming homes are threatened by erosion at Te Rauone
Beach, on the Otago Peninsula.
Work to bring ultrafast broadband (UFB) to Dunedin is about
to begin, at the same time as the city's new "digital office"
gets ready to open for business.
The Dunedin City Council could resort to an unauthorised
budget overspend, if required, to address erosion residents
say is threatening homes on Te Rauone beach, on Otago
Peninsula, Mayor Dave Cull says.
Occupiers may have been absent from the Octagon yesterday,
but it is expected they will return, and when they do the
Dunedin City Council will be watching, Mayor Dave Cull says.
