McMillan and Others Praying for an inquiry into the proposed schemes of the North Canterbury Catchment Board and amendment to the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act, 1941. I have the honour to report that the Committee has carefully considered these petitions and is satisfied that large-scale works are necessary to improve the drainage of the whole area between the Ashley and Waimakariri Rivers, and is not prepared to say that some diversion of the Eyre and other rivers may not be the best way of dealing with the problem. It is of the opinion, however, that the technical advisers of the North Canterbury Catchment Board should give further consideration to the need for all the works proposed by it in view of the long-term rainfall records of the district, and should make further inquiries as to the effect the scheme may have on the water-table along the Eyre River, in particular by obtaining the views of the petitioners and other local residents. After reviewing the matter in the light of this additional information the Board should, by holding sufficient public meetings before commencing work, give an opportunity to all those likely to be affected to hear and discuss its proposals. The Committee has resolved that the petitions and this report be referred to the Government for consideration. 29th September, 1949.
