At a November 5, 2024 workshop, the Waimate District Council (WDC) agreed that the mayor write a letter to the fast track ministers requesting Project Kea be removed from the Fast Track Approval’s Bill’s listed projects’. The letter dated November 12 states; WDC writes to express our collective opposition, on behalf of our community, to the approval and construction of the South Island Resource Recovery Limited, Project Kea waste-to-energy plant within our district.
