flag New Zealand’s fast-tracked gold mine project faces independent review over environmental risks, with public support sought for unbiased analysis.

flag The Environmental Defence Society is raising funds for independent expert analysis of New Zealand’s fast-tracked Bendigo-Ophir Gold Mine project, citing risks to threatened species, freshwater systems, and conservation areas. flag A seven-member panel begins reviewing the application on 25 February, with a decision expected later in 2026. flag EDS, concerned that limited public input under the fast-track process undermines transparency, is assembling specialists in ecology, economics, and science to ensure an evidence-based assessment. flag The organization urges public and philanthropic support to maintain an impartial environmental review.
