Results of the iwi vote that could affect the future of the proposed $200 million Mt Messenger bypass should be known by the end of the week.
The path to finding a way around Mt Messenger has been as long and winding as the road itself.
Now one iwi holds the key to the $200 million bypass project that would see State Highway 3 go around the north Taranaki mountain rather than over it.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Tama Chairperson Paul Silich announces the result of the 2020 voting process on the special resolution covering the Mt Messenger Bypass proposal, The voting, which closed at a special general meeting (SGM) held on Saturday 11 July 2020, supported the project with 82 percent of voters in agreement. The special resolution was successful as over 75 percent of valid votes was reached.
Taranaki’s Mt Messenger bypass is closer than ever to becoming a reality with iwi voting to accept a deal that makes the $200m project possible.
