Posted by adminJul 10
Hastings will join Palmerston North and Waikato in lobbying for national guidelines on the siting of wind farms.
Both Palmerston North and Hastings have come under pressure in recent years from power generators wanting to put large numbers of turbines on hilltops, and both expect more applications.
Hastings District Council resource manager Mike Maguire said the ad hoc processing of wind farm applications was unfair to communities, “very conflict-ridden, and is also very costly for councils, applicants and submitters”.
