An independent panel has granted resource consent with conditions for groundworks to develop the new Dunedin Hospital – Whakatuputupu.
In August, the Minister of Health and Ministry of Health jointly lodged the application under the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020. It covers resource consent for the Stage 1 enabling works for the new hospital, including site-clearing, earthworks, and foundation works.
The Environmental Protection Authority is not involved in the decision-making. We provide advice and administrative support for the Panel Convener, Judge Newhook, and the expert consenting panels he appoints.
