Extending the life of Spicer Landfill
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.
