The CODC had reaffirmed to the Otago Regional Council (ORC) that it was still not happy with the ORC’s preferred location of along the Ripponvale Straight, near the Highlands Corner, for a site, CODC executive manager infrastructure services Julie Muir said at the CODC’s roading committee meeting this week.
The ORC had wanted it there to service stock trucks coming from the Lindis and Hawea regions, and the Queenstown Lakes District Council was "not particularly supportive" of a site in its district, Ms Muir said.
She said finding a suitable site near Cromwell was "going to be problematic", and the solution could be to invest in two sites, potentially closer to the Hawea and Lindis areas.
The ORC and CODC have agreed on another stock truck effluent disposal site being situated at Brassknocker Rd, in the Manuherikia region, and work on that site is under way.
