Since the acquisition of the water rights in October, 1958, the council has been negotiating for the purchase of the lands required for this scheme. In February last final agreement was reached with the remaining two land-owners who had been withholding consent.
The contract documents, which were approved in November, 1955, now require some minor revisions. When the revised documents are submitted and approved, the council will be in a position to advertise for tenders.
