Waitaki MP Jacqui Dean has joined those asking Environment Minister Nick Smith to call in the controversial Omarama-Ohau dairy farm consent applications.
A large corporate in the form of Carter Holt Harvey is selling 29 dairy farms near Tokoroa individually, while not ruling out the possibility of a sale to another corporate.
Environment Minister Nick Smith has until next Friday to decide whether to call in resource consent applications of two companies with controversial plans to establish new dairy farms in the Omarama and Ohau area.
The Government is considering intervening in the controversial dairy-farm proposals for the Omarama-Ohau area. but it looks unlikely the resource consent applications will be "called in".
More than 3500 public submissions have so far been received on proposals for three big dairy farm developments in the Ohau and Omarama areas with one day to go for public submissions on two of those.
"Enough is enough", a meeting on proposed dairy farm development in the Omarama-Ohau region was told last night.
International opposition to plans for 16 dairy farms with up to 17,850 cows in cubicles, in the Omarama and Ohau areas, is resulting in a flood of submissions to Environment Canterbury.
