Te Anau Airport’s Secret Proposal Count | Auckland News

Te Anau Airport Manapōuri’s future hangs in the balance as the Southland District Council wrestles with its $2 million annual cost to operate — a drain since they bought it back for just $401,000 in 2002. After hiring regional development group Great South to turn things around, the council remains tight-lipped on how many proposals were submitted, citing confidentiality agreements — though official info laws may force transparency. Despite the secrecy, officials hint at “promising developments,” while Great South has already been paid over $429,000 and the council has invested $7.4 million in upgrades since 2004. A shortlist is due by July 31, with hopes of retaining ownership of the land and assets. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
