A big thank you to all the mighty people who made the LDEG 2019 forum a great success. The chair (me) welcomed everyone and performed a Waiata (Te ahora) to start day one.
Camia Young of OHU (Office of Holistic Urbanism, Christchurch) got the day off to a great start with her presentation on community buildings. This got everyone thinking and lots of questions followed. Our MC Ché Hedges kept the presentations on time and did a grand job all the way through the day, Thanks Ché.

QLDC provided most of the speakers for the day and they covered issued on Transport, 3 Waters and Special Housing Areas everyone delivered their presentations beautifully.
Other topics covered were the Havelock North Water problems and green infrastructure. Great debate followed during panel discussions and this was the only session to go slightly overtime. This says a lot about how the delegates were interested and engaged. All the delegates then joined for drink n nibbles where great discussions on the day were the order of the evening.

The day two bus tour was boosted by some beautiful weather and both buses full and on the road at 9am. Once again the discussions flowed through from day one and lots of questions and pictures/selfies were snapped. Site visits included major subdivisions currently under construction and a trip to the wastewater plant. Everyone enjoyed their packed lunch by the lakeside and the networking magic continued. The buses then dropped off most of the delegates at the Airport were goodbyes and shouts of see ye next year! rang out.

A big shout out to our sponsors Hynds, ReticManager and Oasis Clearwater.
