shocks groups opposed to Dome Valley dump
Ngāti Manuhiri Settlement Trust has chosen to support Waste Management New Zealand’s resource consent application for a 26 million cubic metre “mega dump” in Dome Valley, north of Auckland.
It’s a change of heart that has sent shockwaves through opponents of the landfill.
A joint memorandum between Waste Management and the Manuhiri Kaitiaki Charitable Trust - a subsidiary of the Ngāti Manuhiri Settlement Trust - was filed in the Environment Court earlier this year.
The court has been sitting at Te Ao Mārama marae in Te Hana this past week to hear from those still opposed to the landfill, including Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, environmental group Fit the Tip and Ngāti Whātua hapū Te Uri o Hau.
