The Rotokākahi Board challenges the Rotorua Council’s sewer project, claiming inadequate consultation and impact assessments, despite the pipeline’s installation.
The Rotokākahi Board of Control is challenging the Rotorua Lakes Council’s decision to install a sewerage pipeline through a culturally significant area near Lake Rotokākahi, arguing the council failed to properly consult them and inadequately assessed cultural and environmental impacts.
The board claims outdated assessments were used and that the project’s effects on ancestral burial sites were wrongly dismissed as minimal.
The council defends the $30 million Tarawera Sewerage Scheme, citing years of consultation with Māori groups, archaeological surveys finding no burial sites, and the pipeline’s route on a designated road.
The pipeline is now installed, but the legal dispute continues over whether proper procedures were followed, with a ruling expected next year.
