## Resource

Wolfbrook is racing ahead with a bold plan to turn the former Pegasus golf course into a sprawling 1,000-home community called Pegasus West, complete with a commercial hub, roads, and stormwater systems — all under a fast-track approval process that bypasses local council input. The company argues the site is ideal for growth, no longer hindered by farmland or noise, but locals are furious, rallying behind a community buyout effort and a petition with over 15,000 signatures. With recent legislative changes stripping the environment ministry of early consultation rights, critics say the process is being rushed without accountability, while the Waimakariri Mayor calls for the application to be rejected — even as the developer still faces mandatory reviews and panels.
