Pahiatua Wind Farm Granted Resource Consent
An independent panel has granted resource consent, subject to conditions, for the Pahiatua Wind Farm project in Pahiatua in the Tararua District.
Pahiatua Wind Limited applied for resource consent under the Natural and Built Environment Act 2023.
The project involves the development, operation, and maintenance of a wind farm comprising up to 11 turbines, with an estimated generation capacity between 32 and 56 megawatts.
The resource consent conditions are in the decision report on the page linked below.
The decision comes 124 working days after the application was lodged with the Environmental Protection Authority.
The Environmental Protection Authority is not involved in the decision-making. We provide procedural advice and administrative support to the panel.
Note that this application was made under the now repealed Natural and Built Environment Act 2023 and not the more recent fast-track legislation.
