Matt Cowley: Tauranga Business Association CEO on the Port of Tauranga project being halted

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

There's frustrations over yet another delay to a possible extension of the Port of Tauranga wharves.  The Stella Passage development fast-track application has been halted, days before an expert panel was due to begin discussions.  A High Court judge has directed it must not be considered, pending further orders from the court. Tauranga Business Association CEO Matt Cowley says this is down to the application missing a few words.  Cowley explained the judge therefore ruled it didn't fit the scope, adding it's amazing a sand dune has impacted millions coming into the economy.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
