Frost Fan Workshop Day One

How ironic to see that Councillor Jill Bunting is providing the welcome and introductions at today’s frost fan workshop. 

This would be the same Councillor Bunting that sat on the application for resource consent for two frost fans that found that the frost fans would meet the District Plan. Opponents to the installation said they wouldn’t.

Many thousands of dollars in lawyers and experts fees later, the Environment Court found that they wouldn’t as well and ordered new conditions and tests.

This would be the same Councillor Bunting that sat on the application for resource consent for two frost fans that decided that the houses that were adjacent (and opposing the application) were not a bona fide residential area. Strangely enough, the Council Decided that wasn’t quite right and had to state that “actually that isn’t the position of the Council”. Never mind, by that time the residents were so irate they had taken the matter to the Environment Court anyway.

Good work Jill. You made some good decisions there. My rates dollars have been wisely spent.
