Poll: Do you like the idea of a waste-to-energy plant in Te Awamutu?
A $200m-plus plan to make electricity through burning rubbish is back on the cards for Te Awamutu.
Opponents say the proposed plant would be a “toxic incinerator” but Global Contracting Solutions (GCS) has applied for resource consent and says it stands by the science.
The facility proposed for Racecourse Rd would incinerate 150,000 tonnes of waste a year and generate electricity from steam, Waipā District Council said.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
