Every delay to this crazy sand mining proposal is good news — Bream Bay sand mining proposal on hold as McCallum Brothers seek time - NZ Herald:

The fast-track panel has hit pause on McCallum Brothers Ltd’s application to mine sand in Bream Bay, granting the company more time to respond to submissions.

In a minute issued last week, the panel confirmed the pause from June 2 after McCallum Brothers sought extra time to address 46 submissions from invited parties – many backed by detailed material and expert evidence – allowing technical review and preparation of its response.
