APPLICATION TO ALLOW SIGNIFICANT MAUNGA PUKEATUA TO BE QUARRIED DECLINEDA company involved in quarrying which destroyed two parts of a hill ridge considered taonga by iwi, and which wanted to excavate from a third maunga, could not show it ever had legal rights to carry out the work, an Environment Court judge says. But the quarrying could still take place, as the company in charge can apply for a resource consent. The application was opposed by local iwi Ngāti Tukorehe, which submitted degradation of Pukeatua, a maunga it considered a significant taonga, would adversely impact the maunga's mauri and the tribe's mana..... www.stuff.co.nz/environment/117080193/application-to-allow-significant-maunga-pukeatua-to-be-quarried-declined
