A retrospective resource consent has been granted to Kiwifruit Investments Ltd to construct crop protection structures and vegetated shelterbelts at 1278 Kaipaki Rd.

Public notification was unnecessary, Waipā District Council ruled, because no person is adversely affected.
Neighbours Grant and Margaret Walker disagree saying the shelterbelt is right on their boundary while posts are five metres from it. “We have been led to believe all through the process we would be kept informed and when the application would be lodged,” said Grant.
The consent was granted to Parmvir Singh Bains who struck opposition last year when he was granted retrospective resource consent for a kiwifruit orchard in Parallel Rd.
