Palmerston and Waihemo A&P Association president Paul Mutch asked the Waitaki District Council, during its recent annual plan consultation meeting at Palmerston, for funding to develop an area for self-contained motorhomes at the association's Gilligan St grounds. Mr Mutch said the grounds were small and traditionally used only about nine days a year for events. Three types of units were planned for the 12 spaces: parking, parking with power, and parking with an effluent dropping station, he said. If all sites were parking only, the cost was estimated at $10,000 not including GST. It's part of our ongoing plan of better utilisation of the grounds and serving our community,'' Mr Mutch said.
