Stephen WoodheadThe Dunedin City Council's apparent inability to control waste is its own fault, Otago Regional Council chairman Stephen Woodhead says. This made it difficult for the city council to review its own waste plan, he said. City council solid waste manager Catherine Irvine said the regional council's regional plan for waste - which outlined the regulatory environment - was 12 years overdue for a review. Farm fills are permitted through the regional council's waste plan. He requested staff provide a report on key issues concerning its waste plan.
