No Fonterra milk plant

Fonterra is not investigating options to build a milk-processing plant in Central Otago, the company says, despite indications from Central Otago Mayor Tony Lepper that could be the case.

His comments were made at a meeting hosted by the Otago Chamber of Commerce in Alexandra on Wednesday night and were in reaction to questions about growth in the region.

He said infrastructure company Delta had been investigating options for large power supplies, which would be for a milk-processing plant because of the number of farms in the region converting to dairying.

Delta representatives were not available for comment yesterday.
