Hawke’s Bay Regional Council has published reports on the first two pre-hearings regarding Napier Port’s application for resource consent to build a new wharf and to deepen the shipping channel.
Napier Port has lodged its resource consent application to build a 350-metre long wharf which, if granted, will future-proof growth for the wider Hawke’s Bay region.
Napier Port now plans to lodge its resource consent applications for the proposed wharf development and phased dredging project in the first half of 2017, so it can do further work to confirm the best locations for disposal of dredged material.
Sustainability aligned with global goals:
At the United Nations summit meeting in September 2015, world leaders adopted 17 global goals (and 169 targets) as a set of universal goals that aim to address the urgent environmental, political and economic challenges facing our world. These are known as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
