The Fonterra factory in Waitoa presently operates under a Development Concept Plan in the Matamata-Piako District Plan, with noise from the site governed by a Noise Emission Control Boundary (NECB).  Fonterra lodged a Private Plan Change (PPC55) with the Matamata-Piako District Council ("the Council") on 13 November 2020 to replace the current NECB with one that is more appropriate to the site's present activities.

The Process

The Council requested further information from the applicant regarding the Private Plan Change application in January 2021.  To date, this request has not been fully addressed and the Council has not formally "accepted" PPC55 as a result.  However, the Council is presently working with the applicant to ensure the appropriate information is supplied.
