Environmental Benefits - Sustainability

Option 2

Residents supporting Option 2 emphasize the need for increased infrastructure investment to enhance the sustainability and resilience of community assets. They argue against allocating resources to projects like marina extensions, which they view as unsustainable and catering to wealthier demographics, especially in the context of climate change and limited city resources. Additionally, there is a strong call for continued support of environmental services, highlighting the importance of initiatives like Nelson’s compost club to the community’s environmental health.

629.1	More infrastructure investment is needed
881.1	depending on which services we are talking about for cuts! Services like an extension of the existing marina is frivolous unnecessary in the climate change uncertain weather events to accommodate more rich exclusive people's ever growing demands. This city has limited resources space money for that kind of unsustainable "growth" .
961.1	would like NCC to continue their support for all environmental services, particularly Nelson’s compost club.
