A slew of court orders relating to the operation of Queenstown’s Shotover wastewater treatment plant, and a replacement for its failed disposal system, is a "pragmatic" outcome, the mayor says.
South Island Minister James Meager believes a new performance, healthcare and rehabilitation centre, officially opened in Queenstown yesterday, will become an economic driver for the South Island.
A clear indication had been given to what needs to be done to the Shotover wastewater plant, the Otago Regional Council says, after the Environment Court released its decision.
