Stop developers carving up rural land outside Arrowtown

  • Update on our quest to retain the rural land on the West side of McDonnell Rd in Arrowtown

      8 November 2022

    What a process it has been! Honestly, the dramas we have been through this month are something to behold.

    So we are still in the game and we are steam rolling to a hearing on the 13-15 December. Our legal Counsel believes our case is "very important". Council's expert is also saying the land's capacity to absorb housing does not fit with the Precinct Zoning, which is supporting our expert's view. Meaning, it looks like we are in a strong position.

    The whole deal is going to cost in the order of $60K. The Hanan family have invested $18K to date, legal Counsel is $40K so we really are a bit short.

    What has been achieved by Mark Hosie, Ken Swain and all those who have contributed has been absolutely heart warming. I could not have done it alone. I now feel that when I stand in Court the Community are standing with me. We are "on the side right" quote from Phil Blakley.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

    Please contact Mark Hosie or myself if you would like to help further.

    You may have received an email on 24/10/2022 stating that we did not hit our target and that your credit card will not be charged. However after discussion with Givealittle, this was a misunderstanding and the pledges made to the page can still be converted to donations. This will happen in the next couple of days. If you have any questions about this please get in touch with Givealittle at helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz
