Fiordland Advocate - Te Anau Sewage

A email report sent in 19th February 2013



I sat in on a discussion with Simon Moran of the SDC about the Airport Sewage Drama.

It would appear that They have no Evidence that the soil at the Airport is Better than any other location in the Basin for evaporation purposes.

There is no answer as to how bad the flies and smell will be at the Airport or if Nearby Kepler Wetlands will be effected by run-off in wet conditions.

There is also no allowance for development and new infrastructure at the Airport if it needs to grow in the long term Which is after all why the Ratepayers bought into it.

I wanted to ask As this massive Irrigation waste disposal process they plan to use is designed for Diary Farming,  are they thinking of a Landcorp Diary conversion program in the Future? Or are they Planning for Te Anau to Expand 200 percent of it’s current projections?


As for the New Scenic reserve areas proposed... They seem to be placed in random areas unrelated to the Real Scenic Vales of the area such as View Hill..
(They should only be buffer zones around our main roadways and Hillsides)

As for View Hill,

I asked him about this in my position as a Trustee of the Fiordland Trails Trust...
Simon Moran says he will dig out the paperwork and find out who betrayed the Community by stripping it of one of it’s most valuable Scenic assets.

So the upshot is that Manapouri Locals at least feel Hoodwinked by Secrecy plus express a lack of Transparency and accountability from the Council.
