We want your feedback on our new proposed Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw. We are required to review our bylaws at least every 10 years.
The purpose of the Bylaw, together with the Waste Minimisation Act 2008, provides the rules for how we deal with rubbish and recycling in the Whangārei District.
Waste Minimisation Act 2008 (legislation.govt.nz)
This new Bylaw is intended to replace the existing Solid Waste Bylaw, which will expire later this year.
Solid Waste Management Bylaw 2013
Before making any final decisions, we’d like to know your views, which will help ensure the proposed Bylaw best suits our community’s needs.
You can read more about the reasons for the proposal and the draft Bylaw in our Statement of Proposal.
