Do you support the wind farm being built at Mt Cass?
Hurunui's Mt Cass will soon be home to the South Island's largest wind farm after lines company MainPower announced it had begun preliminary work on the $200 million project.
When fully operational, the Mt Cass wind farm will generate 93 megawatts – enough energy to power 40,000 homes. The 22 turbines will be positioned along a 7.5-kilometre ridge on Mt Cass, about 5km from Waipara.

Chickenwire needed
Hi. I need about 8 sq metres of chicken wire. If you have some lying around that you don't need, I'm happy to take it off your hands, deliver a boot full of recyclables to the tip or pay a bit for it. Please let me know. Thanks.
