    DoC in particular, and in general all Govt departments are shockers at gold plating everything they touch. Our District council is having an 800m walkway installed alongside a 'B' road. For Kinloch walkers to use. This, for a full time population of 800 people, and about 20 walkers daily would use the grass path to undertake their daily circumnavigation of the walkway.

    Its had 1.25 million thrown at it Walkway has gone from mown grass to concrete, roadside barriers erected, 4m long bridge section, 75m elevated section, 400 dia piles, earthworks up the waazoo, speedbumps yadda yadda. And then people complain about rates rises. DoC facilities I saw last year down south can be a shocker. Danger Will Robinson signs everywhere, Exit signs over the only exit available, etc etc etc. DoC wouldn't need to raise so much in the way of funds if it didn't spray the funds around gold plating everything they touch.

    If it saves one child......

    Some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope.

    WAIT A MINUTE - THAT'S MY RATES YOU BASTARDS ARE SPENDING!!!!

    It's quite the construction for a footpath, that's for sure.
