RE: Memo to Councillors on Commercial Bottling of Water
Hi Angela,
Following up on this request, I have been advised that it may be more appropriate for you to contact GWRC directly
to request a copy of the consent.
Under the Resource Management Act, there should be no issues with obtaining a copy.

Thanks Karma,
Is the consent private? If not, may I please have a e-copy of it or a link to it.
Many thanks

Hi Angela,
Unfortunately Upper Hutt City Council has no jurisdiction to grant a resource consent for water rights, therefore
the consent has been granted by Greater Wellington Regional Council to take and use water from an existing bore.
The Council is excluded from contributing to a decision by GWRC to grant a resource consent unless GWRC decides
it is necessary to limited notify the Council or it is necessary to notify the consent application to the public. This
application was not notified.
Please note the following information may have some commercial sensitivity and as such should not be shared with
the public.
My understanding is that initially the company intend to extract water under the consent and ship in bulk overseas
for bottling at the point of intended distribution and at some point they will be looking to have in place a bottling
facility at Refreshment Place. The consent is due to expire 13 Feb 2023 (which they’re allowed to renew). The
applicant has applied to take up to 576m3/day at a maximum pumping rate of 10 litres/second (for 16 hours/day),
six days per week (Monday to Saturday), 52 weeks per year. This equates to an annual volume of 179,712m3/year.
On the MBIE website under ‘Entity Type’ the company is listed as a ‘NZ limited company’.
Thanks,
Karma

Many thanks Karma,
The situation at Refreshment Place is most unfortunate regarding the consent to take water from the
aquifer.

Do we know for sure that the former Coca-cola and Unipackaging premises has been bought by a Chinese
company and that they intend to bottle and export the water from the bore?

Kia ora,
Please find attached a memo on commercial bottling of water and the Water Bylaw. This was tabled and
discussed at the mayoral luncheon on Friday.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
