Comments on the draft decision in relation to the matters referred back to the Tukituki
Board of Inquiry by the High Court
The High Court referral back to the Tukituki Catchment Proposal Board of Inquiry (the Board) directed them to reconsider their decision only on
including the factual deeming provision in Rule TT1(j) of Plan Change 6 (PC6) and the conditions of consent for the Ruataniwha Water Storage
Scheme (RWSS) in light of the changes the Board made to Rule TT1(j).
The Board now invites any comments from the applicants, relevant local authorities, submitters, relevant Ministers and the landowners and
occupiers directly affected by the decision that was granted previously by the Board on 18 June 2014, on minor or technical aspects of the draft
report in relation to these two matters within 10 working days after the date the draft decision is released. You may include only comments:
 On minor errors in the report.
 On the wording of amendments made to Rule TT1(j) and consequential amendments made in Plan Change 6 as specified in the report.
 On the wording of amendments made to Schedule Three of the RWSS consent conditions as specified in the report.
 If you consider there are omissions in the report (for example, if the report does not address a certain issue that is within scope of the directions
from the High Court).
