    7. LAND ALLOCATION FOR A RESOURCE RECOVERY PARK FOR THE ISTHMUS

   Lindsay du Preez
   Waste Education Officer	17 January 2006

   Advising that Auckland City residents and businesses send 380,000 tonnes of waste to land fill each year. A Resource Recovery Park (RRP) allows for the diversion of materials and is instrumental in moving the community from a culture of discarding waste to where waste is seen as a resource. A potentially suitable site for Auckland City's RRP has been identified on council owned land in Onehunga, off Galway Street.

   Recommending the committee endorse a freeze on any long term lease or sale of the site and that officers report back to the committee on the options for its use as a Resource Recovery Park.
