Visible from many parts of Wellington, and near Zealandia wildlife sanctuary, New Zealand's oldest wind turbine needed resource consent for increasing the turbine size.
Meridian Energy needed to obtain resource consent for a new wind turbine, double the size of the original one, which was nearing the end of its operational and design life.
The turbine was located on the edge of Wellington and visible from many parts of the city; and near the wildlife sanctuary, Zealandia.
