Wind farm hearing adjourned
A board of inquiry has decided to adjourn its hearing into a $1 billion Waikato wind farm project for a year while more information is gathered. Objectors to the controversial Contact Wind and Contact Energy project north of Raglan had raised concerns about how practical the scheme was, despite it being called in by the previous Labour-led Government. Contact Energy spokesman Jonathan Hill confirmed that the board’s chairman Judge Jeffrey Smith made the determination yesterday at Contact’s request.
