Wayby Valley Landfill Back in Court | Auckland News

A massive 80-hectare landfill proposal in north Auckland’s Wayby Valley is back in court after environmental groups and iwi challenge its approval, arguing it will destroy 12km of streams and that no viable alternative site exists. While Waste Management claims their mitigation plan is sufficient and they’ve spent a decade selecting this location, Forest and Bird and Ngāti Manuhiri push back — one demanding ecological protection, the other seeking community revitalization. The case is now before the Court of Appeal, with judges acknowledging the urgency for a decision as Waste Management also seeks to fast-track a Redvale landfill expansion. The verdict is pending.
