A week-long hearing is the next step in an effort to resolve a stoush over resource consents which left New Plymouth district s food scraps being trucked 300 kilometres out of the city. Efforts to resolve opposition to Remediation (NZ) Ltd s attempts to renew two resource consents necessary to run their Urutī-based composting facility have not been successful. A formal Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) consent hearing, set down for one week, will start on March 22 next year, before two accredited councillors and one iwi commissioner.
