The Puketiro Wind Farm was a renewable energy project proposed for land owned by the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) in the Puketiro Forest near Pāuatahanui, north of Wellington, New Zealand.
The project was originally proposed by the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) in June 2005.
[1] After a tender process in 2006, RES NZ Ltd was selected to develop the project.
[5] Nonetheless, a group of residents (Pauatahanui Futures Society Inc.) sought an injunction in May 2008 to stop the wind farm from proceeding.
