Council joins battery recycling scheme
Clutha District Council waste education officer Scott Martin. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. South Otago officials say their council will be only the second in the country to implement a convenient battery drop-off recycling scheme. Clutha District Council expects the first battery drops to be available at libraries and other community facilities next month, as it joins the Phoenix Recycling Group's programme. Although Phoenix already provides the fire-safe receptacles at home improvement stores around the country, Wellington City Council is the only council to have joined the scheme to date. Clutha District Council waste education officer Scott Martin said batteries were a problematic waste issue for councils, due to toxicity and fire risks. The Phoenix scheme had been quality-checked and was able to take all batteries — including vapes — meaning no battery need enter landfill in the district in future. "Batteries present a real hazard in our waste stream. The mixing of batteries in general waste has a high risk of fire from the kerbside to landfill, as they get exposed to liquids and punctured," Mr Martin said. "Once in landfill, they can contribute to toxic leachate from heavy metals into the environment, so not only preventing those risks, but also ensuring as much of the waste is recycled and brought back into use is a win-win for Clutha." Mr Martin said the move was part of a wider council programme eventually to eliminate all unnecessary landfill locally. He said Phoenix had been chosen as its processes had been independently audited. At present, no New Zealand-based battery recyclers existed. Phoenix sent batteries to Japan and South Korea for processing. "Materials are recovered for future battery use, under strict environmental and social controls." He said the receptacles could take most medium and small batteries in typical domestic use, including lead and lithium-based units. Larger batteries such as vehicle batteries could be dropped at the council's Mt Cooee recovery centre in Balclutha. The project had no impact on rates, Mr Martin said. "The council is always aware of the impact of any project on rates. The battery recycling is paid for from the government's Waste Levy Fund." Council community and facility operations manager Kelly Gay said the project was about removing barriers to recycling. "We want to make it easy for people, and to dispel the myth that recycling simply 'all goes in the same hole'."

Fort Monroe Lofts: New Apartment Residences Announced at Historic Fort Monroe
78-Unit Project Led by Echelon Resources to Blend Modern Living with Historic Preservation FORT MONROE, Va., May 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Fort Monroe Authority and Echelon Resources are pleased to announce the launch of Fort Monroe Lofts—a 78-unit apartment community delivering modern living on one of America's most treasured landscapes. The project is being developed by Echelon Resources, a Virginia firm specializing in adaptive reuse projects across Virginia and North Carolina. Construction will begin later this spring and marks the beginning of a 14-building trajectory-shifting development at Fort Monroe. The Fort Monroe Lofts project will convert 67,000 square feet of historic Colonial Revival style buildings into a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Expected delivery of the units is late summer/early fall 2026. Two buildings will be used: Randolph Hall, constructed in 1932 and once used as military barracks, sits near the entrance to Fort Monroe on the shore of Mill Creek. Building 100, completed in 1906 in the village section of Fort Monroe, was designed by nationally acclaimed architect Paul Pelz, best known for his design of the Library of Congress. To preserve and repurpose these historically significant structures for the 21st Century, the project team will utilize state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits (HTCs), administered in Virginia through the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) and the National Park Service (NPS). These programs offer incentives to developers rehabilitating historic buildings in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The result is not only private investment in preservation but also significant public benefits, including job creation, community revitalization, and cultural landscape stewardship. The HTC programs are of paramount importance to making the redevelopment of these historic structures economically viable. "Fort Monroe's 500+ acres represent a globally significant convergence of culture, history, and ecological diversity, on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay," said Scott Martin, CEO of the Fort Monroe Authority. "Echelon Resources' multimillion-dollar investment in Fort Monroe's future further confirms the Commonwealth of Virginia's reputation as the best state in the nation for business. We are grateful for the leadership, boldness, and professionalism from the entire Echelon team. They 'get' Virginia and Fort Monroe." Echelon Resources has extensive experience in historic revitalization of buildings of various sizes, with a portfolio that includes Whirligig Station (Wilson, NC), Imperial Lofts (South Boston, VA), Maury Commons (Fredericksburg, VA), and Woodstock Lofts (Woodstock, VA) among others. "We're proud to partner with the Fort Monroe Authority on a project of such significance," said Edwin Gaskins, President of Echelon Resources. "Fort Monroe Lofts embodies our passion for preserving history while creating meaningful places for people to live. This site is unmatched in both story and setting." When complete, Fort Monroe Lofts will offer residents in-unit laundry, high-speed internet, on-site parking, and easy access to beaches, trails, restaurants, parks, and historical cultural landmarks."
