Author Maurice Gee has added his voice to submissions against a proposed residential development in a rural Nelson valley.
High-profile Nelson residents have added their voices to the Save the Maitai campaign against a proposed housing development in a rural valley. Monica Pausina spoke on behalf of the Save the Maitai group on the second of three days of hearings of public submissions to the Nelson City Council’s Long Term Plan on Wednesday. She was supported by some of the more famous names on the petition against the development, including actor Mark Hadlow, Olympic medallist Rod Dixon, and author Maurice Gee, who did not attend in person but had his written submission read by Hadlow.

Save the Maitai campaigners have claimed the Nelson City Council failed to follow its own advice with regard to a potential residential subdivision in the Kaka Valley, but council says it followed a “robust consultation process. The Save the Maitai group was formed in July 2020 in response to the Maitahi-Bayview syndicate s plans to build up to 550 houses in the Kaka Valley (along with 150 houses in the Atawhai Hills) – and to date has received more than 10,000 signatures to its petition to prevent any future development.
