This project involved two studies. One study focussed on assessing the direct, indirect and induced employment, income and GDP impacts of the operations of the Kinleith pulp and paper mill. The impacts on the South Waikato district as well as on the national economy were assessed. A second study investigated issues surrounding the electricity price and availability and its importance to the New Zealand forestry industry.
