New Zealand Aluminium Smelter (NZAS) has advised that it will be hosting the next round of its Community Forums on 25 June (Invercargill ) and 26 June (Bluff) to update the Murihiku-Southland community on its latest news – including its very recent announcement around securing a 20 year power price agreement.
We have been asked to share this information out to our networks. Details on the event are as follows:
Tuesday 25 June (Ascot Park Hotel, Invercargill) and Wednesday 26 June 2024 (Te Rau Aroha Marae, Bluff)
5.30 to 7.30 pm
All welcome (RSVP required *)
You are invited to join us at the first round of our 2024 community forums to get the latest news on NZAS. Light refreshments will be provided.
Alongside Ngāi Tahu we will talk about the work we are doing in partnership with manawhenua, including the remediation and environmental monitoring, and planning on and around the smelter and peninsula.
NZAS leaders will also share information about:
- Recently announced 20 year energy contract deal
- Business performance and priorities, including waste management and our renewed focus on environmental performance
- Procurement and employment opportunities
We want to hear from our community members. Please feel free to forward any pre-questions to [Enable JavaScript to view protected content]. There will also be question time from the floor at the end of our presentation, and a chance to mix and mingle with NZAS leaders afterwards.
