Solid Waste
The Health Act 1956 requires Council to provide this activity to ensure that the public suffers no adverse effects due to the accumulation of refuse.
The Future Ruapehu Community Outcomes 2005 consultation process highlighted community priorities including core infrastructure, minimal environmental impacts, community participation in planning and zero waste. The Ministry for the Environment (MfE) released the New Zealand Waste Strategy 2002 which provides directives and targets for councils to achieve in the management of solid waste.
Horizons Regional Council’s Regional Policy Statement (1998) contains specific responsibilities for sold waste management that will be replaced by the 2006 “One Plan”
