The long-awaited revamp of the Mahurangi Wastebusters Community Recycling Centre in Lawrie Road, at Snells Beach, is underway again.
Stage 1 work included upgrading and paving the public drop off area on the lower part of the site.
Auckland Council waste enterprises and refuse senior programme manager (Resource Recovery Network) Eric Park says Stage 2 is focused on the upper area of the site and includes building a new shop and education centre.
“To date vegetation has been cleared from this area of the site and a silt fence has been installed,” he says. “A geotextile fabric has been spread in the gully area and filling has started, which will allow the remainder of the development work to proceed.”
The project is on track for completion around the middle of next year at a cost of $2.6 million, funded, by Auckland Council and the government’s Covid-19 response and recovery fund.
