Clutha speed-up unlikely
Energy reporter The Clutha power project is unlikely to be sped up by the provisions of the National Development Bill, according to the Under-Sec-retary of Energy (Mr Brill). Mr Brill said in Christchurch yesterday that delays in obtaining planning hearings had meant the project’s
completion date would be delayed to at least 1989, or : more likely 1991. This was ’ in spite of the fact that ap- : plications for the hearings , had been lodged more than two and a half years ago. “I don’t think the hearings ■ could be speeded up. The ; project was started under ■ the existing planning sysi tern, and it will have to run 1
its course. We couldn’t interfere with that,” Mr Brill said. He also said that there was still a possibility that an aluminium smelter could be established at Aramoana, outside Dunedin. “It is still a possibility, like many other proposals,” ! Mr Brill said.
