It has been reported that Northland Development Corporation Ltd has applied for consent via the Fast-Track Approvals process, with funding being sourced from the government’s new Regional Infrastructure Fund. The Fast-Track Approvals Act is expected to be passed into law shortly.
Whangarei Mayor, Vince Cocurullo, has said the $11 million the council had committed in conditional funding was no longer available. Given some councillors had previously supported ratepayer funding for the project, the full council needs to make a final declaration confirming no ratepayer funding will be provided for the Oruku landing project.
