Subject: Official Information request - Is Auckland Council in discussions
or considering supplying a proposed Waste to Energy Plant in Kaipara with
all or part of Aucklands landfill waste?

 

 

Dear Auckland Council,

Kaipara Mayor Craig Jepson, has recently claimed in a News article, dated
10 March 2024, that a proposed Waste to Energy Plant is closer to being
built in Kaipara. For this WtE plant to be viable, it would require
landfill/general waste from Auckland to be supplied to fuel this plant.

1) Has Auckland Council entered into any discussions/negotiations with the
proposed Kaipara WtE plant to supply the plant with Aucklands
landfill/general waste as fuel for the WtE plant?
2) If Auckland Council have entered into negotiations/discussions of
supplying, what is the time frame for waste to be sent to Kaipara?
3)If Auckland were to accept this proposal, what is the expected daily
volume of waste & number of truck loads to Kaipara?
4) WtE plants are calorific in their waste requirements, if Auckland were
to support the WtE plant, how would the councils waste minimisation goals
be met & maintained?
5) Roads north of Auckland are fragile & as experienced through Cyclone
Gabrielle, road closures are a frequent occurrence
How would Auckland manage the backlog of waste, sitting around should
roads close?

Yours faithfully,

Jane Reed
