Dump report
Further investigations are to be carried out to "establish a site for a suitable waste disposal system for the southern wards," the Ruapehu District Council agreed at their February meeting. The council heard that the present Ohakune dump, which had been chosen as a suitable landfill to serve the southern wards, may not now be suitable as the local Iwi, from whom the land was originally taken, do not want a high landfill. "They have no secret agenda, it's not a complex issue, they just don't want a mountainof rubbish there," mayor Garrick Workman told the council. He said they wanted the land returned for planting trees.
