The Property Advisor and In-house Counsel, Tania Paddock advised that Selwyn District is also required to go through a consenting and easement process as the majority of works falls in the Selwyn District. A Notice of Requirement has just been lodged with Selwyn District Council and will require that Council to consider alternatives. It is possible that Selwyn District will engage with an independent decision maker and will make a recommendation on NZTA’s Notice of Requirement application. The Mayor suggested that Council should advocate for NZTA to review this proposal on the basis that there is a more suitable site for a weighbridge south of the Rakaia township.

  • The Emergence and Intensification of Hydropolitical Conflict Intentionality in Aotearoa-New Zealand By: Adan E. Suazo National C
    The Emergence and Intensification of Hydropolitical Conflict Intentionality in Aotearoa-New Zealand By: Adan E. Suazo National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies Te Ao O Rongomaraeroa University of Otago Dunedin, New Zealand June 2019 Abstract Environmental security literature has devoted a significant amount of attention to the nexus between resource abundance and conflict. Important research has assessed this relationship by focusing on non-renewable resource wealth as a causal determinant of conflict, but little is known about the conditions that influence the emergence and intensification of conflict in water abundant environments. By most accounts, New Zealand is one of the most water-rich countries in the world. Even though violent conflict over water does not normally materialise in New Zealand, conflicts and incompatible claims motivated by water bottling, the growth of some types of agriculture, tourism, and water treatment strategies, continue to surface. Little, however, is known about how and why these conflicts emerge and intensify in a country such as New Zealand. To address this lacuna, this project asks the following research question: How and why does the commercialisation of freshwater influence the emergence and intensification of hydropolitical conflict intentionality in New Zealand? This study presents two central arguments. First, that the introduction of a commercial enterprise motivates the emergence of hydropolitical conflict intentionality if the enterprise is incompatible with the interests of local communities.
