Taupo District, New Zealand

2006-2008

The MVSP started out as a disaster and ended up a triumph. Taupo District Council had put a big red blob in the centre of the valley as part of their 50 year growth plan. Although superficially logical, the valley is a special place and everyone – the local community, the Environmental Defence Society (who promised to take it all the way through the courts), us – we all said it was wrong.
