Southern Landfill / Carey Gully landfill extension(or not)
Southern landfill - seeking an extension to the Resource consent. Manty of you will be familiar with our ongoing commentary about he three landfills located to the south of Brooklyn - between Brooklyn and Owhiro Bay. Two are privately run on (mostly) council (ie ratepayer) land. But the main one is the WCC run and managed Careys Gully/Southern Landfill. It resource consent runs out in 2025 and the council is going to the community seeking guidance and clarity here. There are five options ranging from: simply continuing with it to closing the landfill completely. I suspect most will reluctantly want the landfill to continue but now is an ideal opportunity to advocate for tighter operational controls - fitting with what we do in the twenty first century - and then look to the other two landfills where there Resource Consents will be coming up for review and renewal in the next year or so.
