Public consultation on our 2025-34 Long Term Plan is open now until 4 March 2025. Find out what it's all about and how to get involved.
Changing the funding of solid waste activity after the closure of Oamaru Landfill.
Why are we doing this? We intend to replace the Oamaru Landfill with a new refuse transfer station in 2016, a decision we made in 2012 after consulting with the community.
After paying for the costs of the landfill we have had about $300,000 left each year to offset the costs of other waste facilities. This funding will stop when the landfill closes.
