Welcome to the Waihī Community Forum

The Waihī Community Forum was formed after the announcement of the proposed Golden Link Project including the Correnso underground mine in the east of Waihī. Since the announcement of Project Martha, the Forum, with support from Hauraki District Council and OceanaGold Waihī, will represent residents in the wider Waihī area.

This website will give you information on who we are, what we do, and lists the projects we've been involved with since this forum formed. You can also find copies of meeting minutes, our Terms of Reference, Correnso Consent Conditions, the Project Martha Property Policy in our documents section.
