The Kate Valley Community Liaison Group (the Group) was set up to enable regular and effective communication between residents in the Waipara-Omihi area, adjoining landowners and Transwaste. The Group consists of three representatives of property owners in the Waipara-Omihi area, two representatives of property owners along Mt Cass Road and one representative from Transwaste. The Group meets on a quarterly basis to discuss any community or cultural concerns relating to the Landfill, and receives updates on the development and operation of the Landfill, including monitoring reports on issues such as Landfill noise and odours.
