Moonraker "alive" bid
A further specified departure application has been made to the Taupo County Council by the chairman of the Moonraker Development Company in a bid "to keep the Moonraker hotel project alive." Mr R. C. Hayward lodged the application with the council last week after an apparent change of heart over the future of the
hotel which was to have been established near the airport two miles south of Taupo. The deputy county clerk, Mr S. Jacobs, said the council had no choice but to hear the application. "However, Mr Hayward may be running out of time — the commission hearing is set for sometime in August — and the specified departure application will have to be heard before that," he said. "He will have to start all over again — public
notices calling for objections will have to be published — and that will take sorne time." Last month, the county council refused to extend a specified departure already granted the company some years ago. At the time, Mr Hayward said that he did not care what happened to the land but he did not have a "chip ' on his shoulder" about the failure of the iproject. The hearing is expected to be held early in August.
