Parua Bay Transfer Station - Council lodge consent to continue operation and expand
The Whangarei District Council has lodged a Resource Consent Application for the ongoing running (currently holds no consent) and the expansion (approx $200,000) of the Refuse Transfer Station at Parua Bay Boat Ramp.
The consent has not been publically notified as the Industrial activity has been deemed as minor to the community therefore we, the public can not have our say.
As has been evident at various meetings and from feedback from numerous groups and individuals there is a lack of support for an industrial activity and refuse transfer station operating at this public recreational site.
We would prefer to see fisherman, sailors, rowers, walkers, campers and families using the recreational area not more rubbish trucks, seagulls and waste on a prime site under the magnificent Heads vista.
Please see attached a public notice (by local residents) regarding the application and concern this has not been publicly notified.
Please note that time is of the essence to be heard with your local Councillors or WDC staff.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
