EXPRESSION OF INTERESTS WHO SITES ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL 19th JULY. Please read info, link is at the bottom to complete if you haven't already via the one sent out on email.

💥 Expressions of Interest open from 1st July - Sat 19th July. All applicants will be notified the week of 28th July if they have been successful or not.
💥 All expressions of interest need to be filled out on the official link when they open. We will not be responding to private messages, texts, phone calls, emails requesting a site. For those who have emailed and on our mailing list you will receive the link before it is made public.
💥 If you have attended in the past this does not mean you are automatically given a site. We have had people this week thinking this is how it works. Unfortunately, we have a process so please follow this.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

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 it’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.
