Spicer Landfill is an important part of the infrastructure of Porirua City and is running out of space faster than expected.

This year we’ve been talking about how we might extend the landfill, and the types of protection we need to put in place to minimise things like odour, and to protect our waterways, plants and animals.

We’d like to show you the draft design for the extension and hear your thoughts on this. Have your say
• Tuesday 5 July 6.30-8pm Tawa Community Centre
• Wednesday 6 July 12.30-2pm Helen Smith room – Pātaka
• Thursday 7 July 7-8pm – Online with Zoom

Your input and views will help us fine-tune the plans to extend the landfill.

"I used to avoid posting photos where I had accidentally captured a nictitating membrane - I thought they looked like weird sausage-skin sideways eyelids. Then I read that they are amazing built-in bird goggles, so the bird can blink and still see, or even shutter their eyes in extreme conditions to protect their eyes while flying or diving. Apparently we used to have them too - the pink blob in the inner corner of our eyes is a vestigial membrane. I suppose we evolved out of needing them - still they might have been handy the other day when I was trying to take photos on the beach during a gale. Pūkeko/purple swamphen (Porphyrio melanotus) at Waimanu Lagoon."
