A Southland engineer is vowing to fight the Central Otago District Council over an injunction stopping him from mooring his houseboat on Lake Dunstan.
CODC has since told Horsham the resource consent was only for the mooring blocks and associated chain and buoy and not the vessel. Therefore, the consent was granted, but not for the houseboat itself. The council have told him he now needs a separate resource consent for the structure with an assessment of environmental effects, in addition to a building consent, and a Land Information New Zealand permit for the initial mooring.

A controversial data centre being built at Clyde in Central Otago will be opened by October – and power company Contact Energy believe it could be the first of many to be built in New Zealand over the next few years.
A New hydropowered data center in New Zealand has raised concerns from locals. Some objections address the lack of local benefits of the project. Contact Energy assures residents that the facility will be used for things other than cryptocurrency mining.
Central Otago District Council (CODC) regulatory services manager Lee Webster confirmed Mr Horsham had to chart a course back to the SDC as the consent issued by the CODC was for a mooring for a vessel.
We had a busy day visiting three schools in Cromwell and running our last online workshop to collect feedback for the community visioning report for lake Dunstan Three decades after the creation of Lake Dunstan, Central Otago residents are being urged to use their voice to determine what the next 30 years of the lake will look like.
Lake Dunstan Charitable Trust (LDCT) is partnering with Shaping our Future, a community-focused non-profit organisation, to hold surveys and workshops about the lake. From tomorrow until the end of April (excluding weekends and public holidays), there will be intermittent spraying in and around Lake Dunstan to control Lagarosiphon in our waterways.
This work is dependent on suitable weed, water, and weather conditions and therefore the timing is subject to change. Diquat in gel form will be used to treat aquatic weeds and will be applied by both aerial and boats based spraying methods. There is be a 24-hour stand-down on swimming, fishing, or taking water for irrigation or domestic supply once the spraying is complete.
