COMPANY TAKING BLUE SPRINGS WATER MAINLY OVERSEAS-OWNEDDuring the three-hour meeting, attended by about 40 people, Hartnett is understood to have said that most of the US$170 million ($228.3m) to be invested in the new venture would go into the bottling plant to be established at the old Carter Holt Harvey site near the Putaruru Hotel. Iwi were also told 237 jobs would be created from the venture, only 10 of which would be filled outside New Zealand. The meeting got heated at times as those attending asked Hartnett questions - some which remained unanswered, according to the source. The company wrote in its water consent application to the Waikato Regional Council that it had consulted with the Raukawa Settlement Trust and had the support of the South Waikato District Council. The council has said a donation will be made to a community trust by the company in return for their support. TheĀ HeraldĀ understands iwi are also expected to receive a donation for their support....... www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11894896
