How are we doing? Is there anything you would like to tell us?
I am writing to ask that the DCC fund the Otago Museum with an increase of 7% which is in line with inflation.
This will ensure the Museum continues its excellent mahi. An inflationary increase of any less will have repurcussions including:
• Less ability to support students’ free access to the Museum’s education programmes for schools.
• Compromised ability to maintain our community’s taoka, historic treasures, and scientific collection.
• Less local scientific research for Otago.
• Further increases to our prices.
• Reduced ability to drive tourism for the region.
What other ideas should we be thinking about to include in future plans for our city?
