Hon STUART NASH (Minister for Economic and Regional Development): The Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) extended a $7.5 million loan that was structured for the unique nature of this development, which I officially opened yesterday with the member for Rangitata, Jo Luxton. Ōpuke is a project of regional economic significance in the Canterbury High Country. It is a zero emissions operation that uses solar power from a farm of solar panels to heat water straight from the mountains. It will allow Methven to become a year-round destination, building on its existing reputation for skiing and other adventure tourism during the winter months. It will help transform the regional economy away from seasonal peaks and troughs and help transition from short-term jobs to an all-year-round town with more visitors and permanent jobs. While I try to avoid getting into hot water, the Ōpuke Thermal Pools and Spa complex is a compelling case for investment.
