Deputy Mayor and Paekawakawa/Southern Ward Councillor Laurie Foon has sent a "massive shout out to Ōwhiro Bay locals Angela (Wilson), Alison (Forrest) and Jess (Allen)" for the work they have done to help get the waste management strategy closer to reality.
"It has taken a village of intelligence and a mighty push from the community to get us to this place. This is another big building block to getting us to the vision where our landfill is a taonga surrounded by native bush and birds that we only use when we really need to," Cr Foon says.
The draft waste strategy was passed unanimously in early December and will be out for consultation March next year.
