Lawrie Road reopening


Auckland Council expects to reopen the Lawrie Road waste facility in Snells Beach in July.

The facility was closed last July for a $2.4 million government-funded redevelopment, which includes a new shop, education centre and better access onto Lawrie Road.

Meanwhile, Council received four expressions of interest from entities interested in running the transitional waste and resource recovery services at Lawrie Road, and will announce the successful operator next month.

Since July 2019, the site, along with a recycling facility in Rustybrook Road in Wellsford, has been run by community enterprise Mahurangi Wastebusters.
