New president
JON JACKSON was appointed a judge of the new Environment Court (formerly the Planning Tribunal) in September and has resigned as president of the society. Jon was president for the past two years, deputy president for four years prior to that, and a member of the executive since 1986. Our congratulations and best wishes go to Judge Jackson in his new role; we are sure that he will fill the position with dignity and sharp intelligence and that his judgments will reflect the best interests of the environment. Deputy president Keith Chapple has been elected as president by the executive, and the deputy president’s position will be filled by the executive at its November meeting. Keith has been a member of the executive since 1990. He has been an active campaigner
on energy issues, in particular against inappropriate hydro developments. He is perhaps best known for leading the campaign to wind back ECNZ’s monopoly on the waters of the Whanganui system in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He is employed at Taumarunui Hospital and lives within earshot of the Whakapapa River near Kakahi in the King Country.
