A Manawatu education group is reviving plans for a remote learning centre now the threat of a wind farm on neighbouring land has been lifted.
The Environment Court has ruled the limit for wind turbines in the northern Tararua Ranges has probably been reached, lifting a shadow that has lain over He Kupenga Hao i Te Reo.
Waatea News reports the group bought land in the ranges five years ago, and has planted 2000 trees as well as harakeke, toitoi and a maara kai.
It can now go ahead with building an eco-retreat on the site. The retreat will be a place were people can study traditional aspects of Maori culture and matauranga.
