The scheme is opposed by environmentalists and kayakers some of whom were angry that the resource consents were not notified nationwide.[1] The proposal was approved and it included a concession granted by the Department of Conservation to build structures on public land. Forest and Bird did not see that there would be any conservation gain in giving the approval.[2]
