Irrigation company's lawyer claims photos 'wildly misleading'SUPPLIED One of the photos a lawyer for the Benmore Irrigation Company referred to as "wildly misleading". Photos presented in a resource consent application hearing related to the Ohau Basin are "wildly misleading", a lawyer for the applicants says. Benmore Irrigation Company (BIC) wants to extend its irrigable area from 4000ha to 7658ha and discharge nutrients to water. ECan's report on the application was presented at the hearing on Friday including rebuttal of evidence given by BIC's landscape expert. "If you move to a distant vista it is, but it is not the case immediately you come over the rise (on the Ostler Fault)," Chapman said.
