KAHOTEA MARAE OPPOSED TO NOVA GAS-FIRED POWER PLANT OVER MATARIKI CONCERNSA marae community is opposing plans to build a gas-fired power station in the King Country because it may hamper their ability to celebrate Matariki - the Maori New Year. Kahotea Marae and trustee Barney Manaia said in a submission to Otorohanga District Council that the Nova Energy power plant may interfere with their cultural traditions and is unwelcome.
