Anyone interested in learning the latest on Fight the Tip’s court battle to stop Waste Management NZ putting a regional landfill between the Wayby and Dome Valleys should head to Wellsford on Sunday, March 19.

A public meeting will be held at the community centre from 2pm to 4pm to update people on the Environment Court case, which is due to resume the next day, Monday, March 20, with the final planning and cultural evidence.

The meeting is being hosted by Fight the Tip and Ngati Whatua, with a number of speakers lined up to outline the case so far, which has been running on and off since June 20 last year.

The meeting will also include Fight the Tip’s (brief) annual meeting, and artworks and bumper stickers will be available to buy as a fundraiser.
