Wind farm plans blown away

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A controversial wind farm project near Waiuku has been denied fast-track consent, with a note that the application looked like it was done “in an excessive hurry”.

What started as a side-of-the-road lemonade stall, fundraising for a trip for his kids, turned into Murray receiving bags and bags of lemons, even after the trip was over.
