One week left of rural waste consultation
23 July 2021
There is one week left of the Rural Waste consultation with Ngakuru, Upper Atiamuri and Horohoro households. Residents and ratepayers in these communities are encouraged to let Council know if they do or don’t support the proposed waste service in their community, via post, phone, or by filling out the online survey by 5pm on 31 July 2021.
Around 470 letters were sent to households with information and FAQs about the proposed waste service.
Currently, Ngakuru, Upper Atiamuri and Horohoro are the only areas in the Rotorua District that don’t receive Council’s waste collection service.
In order to provide a service and charge rates accordingly, elected members would need to vote in favour of extending the waste collection service. Community feedback from the consultation would be included in a final proposal to inform elected member’s decision-making.
