The Environment Court has granted a request from Waste Management (WM) for the adjournment of the resource consent hearing on the proposed new super dump on State Highway 1, just north of the Dome.
It is the second adjournment notice the court has considered since the hearing started on June 20.
The current request from WM is to allow time for site assessment with a “specific cultural lens”, a process that it estimates will take a month.
This means the hearing will have only three more sitting dates before Christmas and will not finish this year as hoped.
The case is set to resume on October 25.
Further hearing times next year are unlikely to be available until after March.
