Topic: Tarawera sewerage scheme-related court case
Enquiry
We received a press release this morning from the Rotokākahi Board of Control saying they planned to take the council to the High Court over the Tarawera Sewerage Scheme.
I wanted to confirm that the council is aware of this?
Would the council be able to provide a statement in response to that press release or would anyone be available for a pre-recorded interview today to speak about it?
Let me know if you need any further details.
Response
We noted that as it is before the courts, it would not be appropriate to comment at this time.
