New Zealand King Salmon Investments Ltd (NZKS) has reached an agreement with the Department of Conservation (DoC) and the McGuinness Institute Limited to settle the appeal against the Marlborough District Council's decision to approve NZKS' Blue Endeavour farms.

The mediation concluded late last month, with all parties agreeing to amended consent conditions.

NZKS Acting CEO Graeme Tregidga expressed his delight at the outcome and said the revised conditions were acceptable to all parties.

The final regulatory step is an aquaculture decision from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).

Once completed, the Blue Endeavour project has the potential to add up to 10,000MT of harvest volume.
