Countering the critics: Waste Management’s case Mahurangi Matters questioned Waste Management after commissioners decided to grant their resource consent application for a landfill in the Dome Valley … WM must be pleased with the decision of the commissioners. However, opposition to the landfill has been enormous with a demonstration (hikoi) down Queen Street, a rahui placed on the landfill site by local iwi, objections by political leaders of all persuasions (e.g. Chris Penk, Marja Lubeck, Greg Sayers, Dr Jason Smith). Does WM accept that the local community emphatically does not want a landfill? Do you have a message to those passionately opposed to the landfill?
