We are heading to the Environment Court
16 June 2021Our group needs your help to fight against the massive Auckland Regional landfill in the Dome Valley, Wellsford.
Auckland council has approved resource consent and with your help we will appeal this decision in the Environment Court.
We are opposing the proposed landfill in order to protect the environment, Hoteo River, Wellsford town water, Kaipara Harbour, endangered species, and to eliminate the impact of 300-500 extra trucks a day on SH1 through the notorious Dome Valley.
Our group opposed this landfill through the submission process, submitting evidence from a range of experts. There are better locations and technologies that should be used. Recycling in NZ is far lower than other countries because landfilling is a cheap method of disposal for these Waste Companies.
A leading Environmental Engineer specialising in Waste Minimisation who has advised the govt & UN on waste strategy also supports our petition to ban landfills near waterways anywhere in NZ.
