中奥塔哥议会批准了桑塔纳矿业金矿的道路通行权，引发了公众缺乏参与的反弹。 Central Otago council approved road access for Santana Minerals’ gold mine, sparking backlash over lack of public input.

中央奥塔戈区议会已经批准桑塔纳矿产公司在克伦韦尔附近拟议金矿的公路通道,允许澳大利亚公司使用两条有20米缓冲的理事会公路,以换取采矿开始后按通货膨胀调整的约125万美元年度付款。 The Central Otago District Council has approved road access for Santana Minerals’ proposed gold mine near Cromwell, granting the Australian company use of two council roads with a 20-meter buffer, in exchange for annual payments of about $1.25 million adjusted for inflation once mining begins. 该决定不认可地雷本身,但遭到反对者的批评,反对者说它绕过公众协商,破坏社区投入,而公司则称它是争取透明、长期利益的关键步骤。 The decision, which does not approve the mine itself, has drawn criticism from opponents who say it bypassed public consultation and undermines community input, while the company calls it a key step toward transparent, long-term benefits. 一项公共活动为法律挑战筹集了资金,快速同意申请仍在审查之中,预计将在120个工作日内作出决定。 A public event raised funds for legal challenges, and the fast-track consent application remains under review, with a decision expected within 120 working days.
