Mission to clean up spilled West Coast dump rubbish accomplished
They came from all over the country, now a massive volunteer effort to clean-up a pristine part of the West Coast has ended.
About 75 kilometres of coastline and riverbed was strewn with rubbish after torrential rainfall and flooding in late March exposed a disused landfill at Fox River, near Fox Glacier township.
After a two-day final push, Sunday marked the end of the volunteer effort overseen by the Department of Conservation. Along with the New Zealand Defence Force and others, volunteers collected nearly 14,000 rubbish bags worth.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
