Catching up on all that has been happening!
6 June 2026
Sorry we have been so quiet! We have been in the mediation process over the last couple of months and we are pretty restricted through that process on what we can share. Mediation has now finished - it was tough! - and we are pretty hppy with what we achieved. We haven't resolved everything but have definitely made some headway.
The next stage is expert conferencing - where the expert witnesses (including ours) get together to identify what is agreed and what is still outstanding. That will happen in September. Then there is the hearing itself before the judge in the Environment Court in November.
We still have a long way to go on our goal. We have a great lawyer and expert witnesses who are being amazing in their support but we do need to cover their costs. Please share our posts and help us to make sure the Shotover River has a voice and our community is heard.
Thank you to everyone for your support and kind messages. We so appreciate everyone's encouragement!
