The Council has officially denied the resource consent for the Pioneer Lane cleanfill site. We are shifting our focus to monitoring the site for any unauthorized activity while the legal decision remains finalized.

‘Cleanfill’ tip sites are growing in number, scale and frequency across our district.
One minute you are enjoying the quiet countryside living our district offers, the next minute you could have 30-70 trucks a day roaring up your street, covering your house with dust, disturbing your quiet enjoyment of your property and neighbourhood, and ruining our roads.
It can happen anytime and anywhere.
If you think this activity is not compatible with the sort of lifestyle our community wants and the vision we all have for our district as a peaceful rural area with outstanding wine, food, recreational and lifestyle attractions, then we need your support.
The latest example of this activity is a Cleanfill tip 'Attwood/Neill' applied for in May 2012. This is a 15 year, 370,000 cubic metre ‘cleanfill’ tip on a Pioneer Lane farm in Kumeu.
This is a non-complying activity which they tried to make non-notified because only 3 properties would be affected according to them, although there are to be up to 150 truck movements a day. Publicly notified, the application received 433 submissions in opposition and only 11 for.
Their proposed designated route takes them on fragile rural roads and not past their own family homes. Instead they are imposing 15 years of hell on residents and neighbours for their own private commercial gain.
The Council report contains a recommendation to the independent hearings panel that consent should be granted subject to 78 recommended conditions.
The hearings panel are not bound or constrained in any way by the council’s reporting planner.
We want Council to;
Put a hold on the Pioneer Lane cleanfill application.
Place a moratorium on all further Cleanfill tip sites in our district.
Engage in a formal process with the community to determine if this is a suitable activity for our District.
Even if you have submitted on this application, please support our petition and forward to all your contacts and other people who object to this sort of bureaucratic bullying.
It is time to put a stop to an activity that is ruining our neighbourhoods.
Rodney is not a dump!

Council planners have acknowledged the volume of submissions filed against the Pioneer Lane proposal. Legal counsel is now reviewing their internal reports to identify inconsistencies in the traffic impact assessments.

There needs to be some planning rather than just hoping that private enterprise will solve the problem. Ideally such sites should be off a main road with minimal increases in traffic on small local roads.
No to large commercial dump sites in the Kumeu area that effect the rural/lifestyle zoning of our beautiful area.
Residents / Occupiers need to be made aware of and have an opportunity to know what is happening in our area. I personally am not happy as my lifestyle will be affected ie noise from trucks, cant ride my horse on roads to get to the local pony club, cant walk my dogs safely on road as no footpaths and trucks thundering past as 100k zone. Not what I wanted from RURAL living.
Whilst this is a growing concern as to where to place this sort of rubbish, we need to think more carefully and shift this out further - perhaps fill in the place where they dropped their bombs yesterday.
We need to stop this activity. Amreins Road is up for 2 years of dumping with 80 loads a day on roading that broke up after only 1 week of this traffic. The community should not suffer such massive invasion for the benefit of one land owner.
Totally opposed to any Dumping

Council needs to have a proper blueprint in place as to where fills are allowed and the conditions that they may operate under and that the conditions will be enforced. Ideally, fills should be placed where they have the least impact on humans and the ecology ... perhaps disused quarries, forest areas, military bombing ranges, alongside busy motorways, etc.
