West Coast Regional Waste Management and Minimisation Plan

Together, the three district councils, Westland, Grey, and Buller District Council, have developed the new Regional West Coast Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2024-2030 (WMMP) to identify regional opportunities for waste management, develop regional waste infrastructure, and boost economies of scale.

The vision of the WMMP is:

“By 2030, our enabling systems are working well, and our behaviour is changing.”

To achieve this vision, the WMMP sets out three goals:

  1. The building blocks are in place to enable change.
  2. More activity is circular, and we produce less waste.
  3. Emissions and other environmental indicators are improving.

We want to hear from you

The West Coast community from Haast to Karamea can provide feedback on the new West Coast Regional WMMP between Monday 18 November and 5 pm Friday 20 December 2024. No late submissions will be accepted.

Make your submission online, email it to infrastructure@westlanddc.govt.nz or drop your completed submission form into our Customer Service Centre 36 Weld Street, Hokitika.
