Residents in the Marlborough Sounds want consultation on a proposed ferry terminal upgrade to be extended. Marlborough Sounds residents want consultation on a multimillion-dollar ferry terminal upgrade to be extended until "proper" face-to-face meetings can occur, but organisers say it's not that easy. SCOTT HAMMOND/STUFF Queen Charlotte Sound Residents Association chairman Tim Healey feels feedback on the upgrade should not close until "proper" consultation can happen. Another two open days had been planned for Picton and Blenheim, but these were cancelled because of the coronavirus lockdown. Prendeville said while face-to-face open days were an efficient way to interact with large groups, they were just one form of consultation.
