E Tū Awatarariki Matatā

Since we opened this page, the Council process has dragged on further, with the District Council putting the plan change process on hold while they seek funding for buying out houses at Awatarariki. This is making an already long process (14 years and counting!) longer.

So far funds raised have contributed to lawyers fees. Future donations will be needed for lawyers and experts fees for Council hearings and possibly environment court hearings.
