Hi neighbours. Controversial plans to build a giant waste dump in the Dome Valley should be refused because of cultural and environmental concerns, Auckland Council says.

It is the first time Auckland Council has publicly come out in opposition of Chinese-owned private waste firm Waste Management’s plans for a landfill, on land between Warkworth and Wellsford.

Key issues looked at in a newly released report included cultural values, the impact on freshwater and the surrounding ecosystem, sedimentation and air pollution, environmental and human health risks, traffic safety and the rural character of the area.

“The reporting officer is recommending, subject to contrary or additional information being received at the [resource consent] hearing, that the application be refused,” the report stated.

A resource consent hearing is due to begin at the Warkworth Town Hall at 9.30 am on November 9.

Knowing immediately that she needed to discover more about this modality, she qualified as a certified practitioner of ThetaHealing and has since been in practise for over 10 years.
Her passion is helping people who are ready and willing to create positive change. From healing and clearing past trauma & pain, discovering their own inner gifts, setting goals & achieving the outcomes that they long to achieve in their own lives.

Coronavirus is more of a reason to sort out the stadium

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff
