Manukau City Council’s draft designs for what the suburb of Flat Bush will look like after redevelopment are out for public submissions.

Jazial Crossley | Wednesday August 26, 2009

 

Colin Dale Park in Auckland’s Manukau could soon be transformed into an international motorsport arena, with fewer restrictions than current leading petrol-head venue Western Springs.

Manukau City Council is seeking expressions of interest from developers to spearhead the project, which will give the park a new lease of life as a large-scale motorsport venue.

Council gives levy advice as it faces ballooning waste bill

Niko Kloeten | Wednesday July 15, 2009

 Manukau City Council has organised a free workshop to help businesses deal with a new waste levy but the council itself is facing a big increase in disposal costs.

The levy, which came in to force on July 1, was introduced under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 passed by the Labour government.

It charges landfill operators an extra $10 plus GST per tonne of waste brought to the landfill.

This extra cost is expected to be passed directly on to users of the landfills; businesses, households and councils.
