Less waste makes for a greater place

Porirua City Council

Public consultation has opened for something important across the Wellington region – reducing waste in the places we live, work and play.

The Wellington Region Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2023–2029 (WMMP) is in the process of being updated and we want to hear what people think for the future of waste in the places they love.

All eight councils in the Wellington region – Masterton, Carterton, South Wairarapa, Upper Hutt, Hutt City, Wellington, Porirua and Kāpiti Coast – have come together to draft this plan, which is updated every six years.

It outlines how the councils, mana whenua, and the community, including residents, industry, enterprises, organisations, and visitors, can work together to transform how we generate, manage, and minimise waste in the Wellington region.

The statement of proposal and draft WMMP can be found here.
