The site being considered is a 19-hectare site at Te Waerenga Road, off State Highway 36, in Rotorua.

In response to community wishes, the department has agreed to extend the consultation period for the proposed site until 18 March 2006. Consultation was originally planned to finish on 4 February 2006.
