Changing the funding of solid waste activity after the closure of Oamaru Landfill.
Why are we doing this? We intend to replace the Oamaru Landfill with a new refuse transfer station in 2016, a decision we made in 2012 after consulting with the community.
After paying for the costs of the landfill we have had about $300,000 left each year to offset the costs of other waste facilities. This funding will stop when the landfill closes.
