Wednesday June 14 2023 Bay Harbour News Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Eco collective shifts focus • By Heidi Slade PEST CONTROL and tree planting – these are potential new projects in the sights of the community group which has won a battle over proposed cattle barns in Kaituna Valley. The Little River Eco Collective says it is relieved farming company Wongan Hills Ltd has withdrawn its application to Environment Canterbury for the four proposed barns. “There’s a lot of enthusiastic relief,” spokesperson Donald Matheson said. The collective Donald Matheson had concerns about flooding in the valley and its potential impact on the barns and Waihora-Lake Ellesmere. “The valley is not just occasionally flood-prone,” Matheson said. “According to the residents, there are floods regularly and quite significantly.” Matheson said the place where the barns were planned would be underwater in the event of a flood, causing the composting process to go anaerobic, creating a stench as it omitted methane. Wongan Hills Ltd said the Kaituna Valley site would potentially be revisited in the future. While the fight against Wongan Hills Ltd is over, the collective plans to build on the momentum it has gained over the past 16 months. “Interest in our group has grown since we started this campaign,” Matheson said. He said there were numerous projects on Banks Peninsula the collective could turn its efforts towards, like pest control and tree planting. Wongan Hills Ltd applied for a discharge permit and land use consent in March last year, to build four composting feed barns on a Kaituna Valley property, which could house up to 2200 cattle, 24 hours a day. In November, the collective started a community petition and protested outside ECan’s Tuam St office to have the application publicly notified, which it was the following month. The application received 128 submissions, most in opposition to the plan. Twentyeight submitters, including the collective, were set to be heard at an ECan hearing in July. Wongan Hills Ltd said the decision to withdraw its application had been driven by a need to develop an alternative site first. It was also concerned the hearing process for the Kaituna Valley proposal would be extensive and costly. ECan consents planning manager Aurora Grant said withdrawn applications are a normal part of the Resource Management Act process. “This can be for a range of reasons, but often it can be due to the significant work and associated time and expense ECO COLLECTIVE WIN: Wongans Hill Ltd has withdrawn its application for four feed barns in a section of flood-prone Kaituna Valley (marked in red). required to prepare for a hearing,” she said. “This can sometimes result in a reconsideration of the effects and merits of the proposal from the applicant’s perspective, and result in deciding not to proceed.” The collective had been fundraising through online donation platform Givealittle since March, for legal and specialist support at the hearing, with a goal of $19,000. The group raised $7600. Just over $5000 has already been spent on legal fees in preparation for the hearing. “We’ve spent quite a lot of it on lawyers,” Matheson said. “We were expecting to, in a couple of weeks, present a legal case to ECan.” The collective has decided the remaining $2343 will be returned to donors. NEWS 5 In Brief NEW BUS, FERRY FARES FROM JULY Metro has announced new fares within greater Christchurch from July 1 after its half-price fares end.

SPORTS CLUB GETS GRANT FOR NEW JERSEYS Diamond Harbour Rugby and Football Club will get new playing jerseys from a $6900 New Zealand Community Trust grant.
