The Dunedin City Council is in the process of developing a new landfill at Smooth Hill in Big Stone Rd, Brighton. The DCC upset some in the seaside community of Brighton when it went ahead with its decades-old plans for a landfill at Smooth Hill last year. A petition to ‘‘stop the Brighton landfill’’ was signed by more than 2000 people. He now hoped the Brighton community and the wider Dunedin community would make their views known, he said. ‘‘It’s just not a risk worth taking.’’DCC chief executive Sandy Graham said the council noted the decision to publicly notify the proposed Smooth Hill landfill application.
