History was made yesterday in the Hauraki District.

Kaimai wind farm hearing date unlikely before the end of the year.

Hauraki District Mayor John Tregidga will end his 36-year local government career on a high note with the completion this week of a million-dollar project to pump wastewater from Karangahake and Mackaytown to the Paeroa Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

With the exception of a pre-hearing meeting with Iwi and others who submitted on Maori cultural values, Kaimai Windfarm Ltd has decided against its planned topic-based, pre-hearing meetings, having offered submitters one-on-one meetings about its proposed wind farm project instead.

It might be world famous in NZ for its giant bottle, but developers Tim Bartells and Jenny Wilson saw a lot more than that when they decided to invest in the town of Paeroa.

Eleven Orchard Road is now officially off the table as a possible site for a proposed new library space in Ngatea.  At its meeting this week the Council resolved that the site will not be considered as a potential spot for future Plains Ward library services.

The Council is going back to square one on its proposed plans for a new library and community hub in Ngatea. 

Kaimai Wind Farm Limited has lodged a resource consent application with Hauraki District Council and Waikato Regional Council for a proposed wind farm at the northern end of the Kaimai Ranges at Tirohia, near Paeroa.
