While no-one turned up to the Dunedin City Council's first "drop-in" session on its draft policy aiming to make sure the city was a safer place in an earthquake, there is hope people will take advantage of two further sessions today.
The council held the session, which aimed to give people a chance to discuss the policy with staff, at the Port Chalmers Library yesterday, between 4pm and 6pm.
Chief building officer Neil McLeod, co-author of a report on the policy, said the council did not expect a big turn out but no-one turned up.
However, he said there would still be opportunities for people to have their say on the policy through two similar meetings today, at the Clarion Building in Princes St (noon to 2pm), and South Dunedin Gasworks Museum (4pm-6pm).
People could also make written submissions on the draft policy, he said.
