Schedule 5: Existing agreements in respect of Waitaki Power Scheme

You could also call this:

“Old deals about using water at the Waitaki Power Scheme”

This schedule lists several agreements related to the Waitaki Power Scheme. These agreements are between Meridian Energy Limited (or previously, Electricity Corporation of New Zealand Limited) and various other parties. The agreements cover different aspects of water rights and related issues.

Some of the agreements are with government bodies, such as Transit New Zealand, the Department of Conservation, and the Mackenzie District Council. Others are with environmental and recreational groups like the Royal Forest & Bird Protection Society and the New Zealand Recreational Canoeing Association. There are also agreements with irrigation companies and Māori organisations.

The agreements have different titles, but many are called “Agreement in relation to water rights”. There’s also a “Compensatory funding agreement”, a “Waitaki catchment deed of agreement”, and an “Agreement to lease”. The last item on the list is a head agreement involving multiple parties, including government departments, councils, irrigation companies, and environmental groups.
