Discharge of treated wastewater directly into the Turanga river - Auckland Council

The Whitford Estuary Conservation Society have partnered with Ngai Tai ki Tamaki to jointly present the challenge against Auckland Council over the approving of the Variation for Whitford Manor. The key issue is the discharge of treated wastewater directly into the Turanga River.

WEC's and Ngai Tai ki Tamaki's challenge against Auckland Council was lodged in the High Court electronically on Wednesday night 1st July. The hard copies were presented at the Courthouse on Friday 3rd July. The documentation was very extensive with 4 affidavits, but focuses on the legal aspects of the variation. Independent testing done on the water quality by a party outside of WECS has been done and proven to be unacceptable and environmentally bad for the river.
