Havelock North, as it began to grow in population during the 1960s, struggled with finding a suitable area for a rubbish dump.
Jeff Whittaker – Havelock North Borough councillor from 1965 to 1974, then mayor from 1974 until 1983, remembers various attempts to find a suitable area for the good villagers to dispose of their trash.
When Ron Nilsson was Havelock North mayor during 1965, an area was proposed in Awarua Crescent (which means ditch in Maori) where there was a sizable dip into which rubbish could be offloaded.
