p a Dunedin The public hearing of submissions on the Clutha hydro-electric development scheme will be held before the full Otago Catchment Board on September 6. The venue for the hearing of about 40 submissions has not yet been decided. The board’s regional water committee has decided against either having a special tribunal, or the committee itself hearing the submissions.
The granting of water rights for the scheme demanded the attention of the full board, and would short-circuit the usual routine of having to formulate reports for the full board to consider later. “It is a board decision.” the committee chairman, Mr J. F. Henderson, said. The hearing, which is expected to last two days, has been set back almost a week because the closing date for submissions had been delayed. Suggestions that at least part of the hearing could be held at Roxburgh, because many of the submissions were from that area, and that it would be expensive for the people concerned to wait in Dunedin before presenting their cases, were turned down.
