The Ashburton employment exchange organised by the Ashburton council was likely to be repeated. Council's economic development officer, Bevan Rickerby, said the seminar was successful, and review documents would be sent out to those who attended. The exchange was held at the Ashburton MSA and involved jobseekers and employers and tips on attitude, keeping employment on track and getting a foot in the door. Mr Rickerby presented a report to the final meeting of this term of council, outlining development goals. One infrastructure project to be solved was the rail hub, with agreement in business circles that the rail hub should be at the Ashburton Business Park.
