Good morning Matt
I have an apology to make. The application period is still open so I can’t give any further
information on the selection workshop for the Christchurch West Melton Zone committee yet,
but I did give you the wrong date for it. The workshop will be held in the evening of 30 October
not 2 November.
My sincere apology for the error.
Best wishes
Philippa

Good afternoon Matt
Thank you for your application to become a community member of the Christchurch West 
Melton Zone Committee. Your interest is much appreciated and your application will be 
forwarded to the selection panel.
The next stage in the selection process is that shortlisted candidates will be invited to a 
workshop in which they will meet with each other and the panel, and have an opportunity 
to make a short presentation and discuss water management issues. The final selection 
will be made immediately after that workshop. The Christchurch West Melton workshop is 
scheduled for the evening of 2 November (tbc).
You will be given further information about this once the selection team have drawn up 
their shortlists and details finalised.
Best wishes
Philippa
