Wellington City Council

The existing consents for Wellington’s Southern Landfill expire in 2026, and we need to decide how we dispose of our residual waste (what’s left after we reduce, reuse and recycle) after this date.

We’ve developed a shortlist of three options and want to know what you think of them.

The existing consents for Wellington’s Southern Landfill expire in 2026, and we need to decide how we dispose of our residual waste (what’s left after we reduce, reuse and recycle) after this date.

We’ve developed a shortlist of three options and want to know what you think of them.

- New landfill on top of existing landfill (piggyback option) - the Council's preferred option.
- Waste to energy incineration.
- No residual waste facility in Wellington City.

Go to wcc.nz/letstalk for more info and to have your say. Submissions close 5pm Sunday 15 May 2022.

"Our beautiful endemic and endangered black-billed gull/tarāpuka (Chroicocephalus bulleri). Sometimes I've found them a little confusing to identify as in non-breeding plumage, black-billed gulls can have a two-coloured brownish and black bill and red legs, but they always have a longer, finer bill than a red-billed gull - that said there is also a little variation in the bill sizes. The two species sometimes hang out together as well to make it more confusing. Bird #57 in 2022."
