Update: Waitaha Hydro Scheme
01 September 2019
In July 2014, Westpower submitted an application for concessions from the Minister of Conservation to enable the proposed scheme to progress. In September 2016, DOC publicly notified its intention to grant a lease, licence and easement concession and a public hearing was held in early December 2016.
On 28 August, a decision to decline the application was announced by David Parker, the Minister for the Environment. Westpower is considering its response to this decision.
