Spicer Landfill is an important part of the infrastructure of Porirua City. Around 75,000 tonnes of waste goes into the landfill every year, which means it’s running out of space faster than expected.

Extending the landfill has been planned for since 2009. We’re now starting the resource consent process for approval to extend the landfill to meet our growing city’s needs.

Have your say

Your input and views will help us fine-tune the plans to extend the landfill.

There will be several opportunities to have your say this year with our first lot of information sessions planned for 29, 30 and 31 March.

"It seemed like a kotare kind of afternoon at the Pāuatahanui Inlet today! Trying to get nice and close to my Kingfisher friends as they were hunting for crabs as the evening was drawing in. At one stage, there were as many as 3 sitting on a piece of driftwood!
A lone spoonbill was spotted having a feed in the distance before it took off"

Promise yourself during Parks Week you will experience the wonderful green spaces we have in Porirua – you might just win something.

The nationwide celebration of all things parks – and how they contribute to liveable cities and thriving communities – runs this week until Sunday 13 March.

From a stroll in the bush, somewhere to kick a ball, or a coastal adventure, there are options aplenty in our city.

“We have some great spots to visit for enjoyment, fitness and wellbeing – places that help us refresh our minds and bodies,” he says.

“With all the challenges we’re facing in life right now, it’s important to take care of our waiora, getting outside to reap the benefits of fresh air and green spaces. And this can happen not just during Parks Week, but anytime.

“In Porirua we have more than 950 hectares of parks and reserves – if you chose to visit a different one each day, it would take you about six months to experience them all.

“We’ve got short walks, some testing walks, playgrounds, shared paths, exercise equipment at Aotea Lagoon and Onepoto Park, and two fantastic dog parks. Visit your regular spot this week or branch out and visit somewhere else in Porirua.”

To reward those getting out and about this week, we have two great prizes (a Rebel Sport voucher and a voucher for our nursery), so keep an eye on our Facebook page to discover what you have to do to win. Hint: We’ll be asking you to show off which park or reserve you consider to be a hidden gem.

We are best friends and will need to be adopted together. We are not yet used to lots of handling, so would not be suitable for young children. We need an experienced home to help us get used to the ways of the world.
We will need a large grassy area for daytime, with a weather-proof hutch. At night we will need to be inside with you as part of the family, so an area inside your home to call our own will be needed. If this sounds like your set up, please click apply now, so my caregivers can learn more about you, and make you an appointment to come and meet us."
