The signing occurred after a presentation and discussion with other local operators. Further consultation will continue to take place to ensure that all relevant parties are appropriately and thoroughly considered.

Oamaru was chosen because of its stable weather, supportive local government and community, and proximity to Dawn’s Christchurch facility.

Dawn would like to commend the expediency and efficiency of the Waitaki District Council, in particular Mayor Gary Kircher and CEO Fergus Power. Mr Power brings with him considerable experience in NZ launch compliance from his time at Wairoa District Council.

The company looks forward to progressing this exciting development.
