Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒฒ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itโ€™s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

I think weโ€™ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So hereโ€™s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? Weโ€™d love to hear your thoughts!

Keen for an update? The Post has you covered
