	Competition for Resources
		Waitaki River water was being allocated without an overall management plan, something the council had been pushing Environment Canterbury to implement for years.
		She said a proper interpretation of the consents confirmed that all the water in the Waitaki system was available to Meridian to use under its consents and it currently uses all of the water from the Tekapo River to generate electricity.

		It is clear that given the voluntary nature of the Guidelines, the will of the Council and of owners and developers to ensure the spirit, rather than merely the letter, of the Guidelines is honoured is all important.
