Stop the Barrytown TiGa mine- help us in our appeal to the environment court
19 May 2024The Coast Road Resilience Group (CRRG) has appealed to the Environment Court, and is contracting a number of experts to provide evidence. We need your support to help finance this appeal.
We are continueing to fight for our community and environment, after consents were granted in April 2024 to TiGa Minerals and Metals for mineral sands mining and processing on the Barrytown Flats.
We remain particularly concerned for our unique and precious Westland petrel (Tāiko), the Little Blue Penguin (kororā) and the wealth of shore birds which could be endangered by this major industrial operation in a sensitive coastal environment.
The community is devastated this major industrial operation could happen in our quiet rural setting.
The CRRG does not give any social licence or credence to TiGa's claims around economic returns to the Coast, or how they will manage the dozens and dozens of complicated consent conditions.
