How should we dispose of Wellington’s waste?
The existing consents for Wellington’s Southern Landfill expire in 2026, and we need to decide how we dispose of our residual waste (what’s left after we reduce, reuse and recycle) after this date.
We’ve developed a shortlist of three options and want to know what you think of them.
- New landfill on top of existing landfill (piggyback option) - the Council's preferred option.
- Waste to energy incineration.
- No residual waste facility in Wellington City.
Go to wcc.nz/letstalk for more info and to have your say. Submissions close 5pm Sunday 15 May 2022.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
