Landfill controversy
A controversial proposal to build a landfill in the area caused protests and demonstrations from environmental groups in Auckland in the early 2020s.[5][6][7] It was approved despite stiff opposition, and Waste Management New Zealand would construct and operate 60 hectares of landfill after given consent to do so.[8]
It was controversial because it would have an ecological impact on the area; it would contaminate local waterways, such as the Kaipara Harbour's water catchment.[6] Waste Management New Zealand further had an application for a plan change to use 1000 hectares of land in the Dome Valley site recognised as a "landfill precinct".[9]
The plan change was further declined by Auckland Council.[10][11]
