19/11/2024: southern Landfill Precinct of Wellington and C & D landfill

Carl from Brooklyn Residents Association Incorporated

Wellington city has three landfills located in south Wellington / Happy Valley / Owhiro Bay. The WCC public landfill - Careys Gully / Southern Landfill - for residential and commercial waste. The second landfill is the T and T landfill, on Ohiro Road, which is privately owned and takes building waste. The third landfill (located above the WCC landfill) is called the C & D landfill which has filled its first valley with waste with access to a second valley for waste. It has recently changed hands and will likely resume operations soon. Just so you are aware as to why there is so much commercial and heavy truck traffic goin through Brooklyn and southern Wellington. . wellington.scoop.co.nz...

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
