On Tuesday, Aquila Clean Energy NZ briefed the Waitaki District Mayor and Councillors and Ahuriri Community Board Members on their proposed wind farm project near Kurow in the Waitaki Valley. Council decided to hold the preliminary briefing behind closed doors to protect the commercial position of the company, considering the early stage of the Project.
No consent application has been submitted to Waitaki District Council regarding the project at this time and this briefing was to inform Councillors of the potential scope and scale of the proposed project ahead of upcoming public consultation. Aquila Clean Energy NZ have met with landowners in recent months, and neighbouring landowners regarding the project also on Tuesday of this week.
Aquila Clean Energy NZ will be holding two engagement sessions for the community in Kurow on Tuesday 3 December at the Kurow Memorial Hall, corner of Gordon and Wynyard Streets, Kurow between 1pm to 4pm and again between 5pm to 8pm. Those interested can sign up for project news and updates by emailing the project’s development team at info@kurowwindfarm.co.nz .
