The Matiri Project is a hydroelectric scheme under construction by Pioneer Energy Limited at Lake Matiri and the Matiri River in the South Island of New Zealand.
The scheme was opposed by environmentalists and kayakers some of whom were angry that the resource consents were not notified nationwide.[1] The proposal was approved and it included a concession granted by the Department of Conservation to build structures on public land. Forest and Bird did not see that there would be any conservation gain in giving the approval.[2]
