Subject: Official Information request - Environmental Impact of the
Boyd-Wilson Returf & Repairs

 

Dear Victoria University of Wellington,

 

I am writing to request information re the current repairs/returfing of
the Boyd-Wilson Field by Te Puni Village.

 

- What options were explored for replacing/refurbishing the astroturf
(e.g. natural turf or cork replacement instead of rubber/plastic)?

 

- What mitigations are in place to ensure that microplastics are not
released into the environment during the turf's refurbishment?

 

- How much waste (by weight) is being generated by the refurbishment, and
what proportion of that waste is being reused, recycled and landfilled?

 

- What environmental impact assessments have been done for the
installation, refurbishment, and/or ongoing use and maintenance of the
astroturf?

 

- What is the financial cost of refurbishment, and where is this funding
being pulled from?

 

- When is this project due to be completed?

 

How will this project meet each of the following obligations outlined in
the University's Sustainability Policy:

- 6.1 (e)

- 7.1 (b)

- 7.1 (d)

- 7.1 (e)?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Malia Gaumeir
