Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition on a Ban on Herbicides in Public Areas: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Mary Cahill:
We have been in discussion with the municipal district engineers about what kind of things they can put in the business case. They asked if they could do a one-fits-all for the season, for the strip between the cycle path and footpath where there could be infrastructural damage. We will wait and see what is coming in from the districts. After the first season, we will be able to review it and be able to say they cannot do a blanket business case for this situation for the whole district and that we want it per road. It is learning. I am sorry to keep saying that but it is early stages.
