Private waste company Waste Management wants to build the rubbish dump in Dome Valley, on land between Wellsford and Warkworth.
It would replace the Redvale Landfill and Energy Park in Dairy Flat, which is predicted to reach capacity between 2026 and 2028.
But the valley's iwi and landowners worry any breach in the dump's lining could spill poisons into the Hōteo River.
Fight the Tip, Save The Dome Māori liaison Mikaera Miru said the consequences of an earlier rāhui at the site being ignored were “devastating”.
“This is the second biggest harbour on the planet, we need to look after it. It's Ngāti Whātua food basket, we need to look after it and that's why we're here.”
What other solutions to Auckland's waste problem do you think should be explored?

Earlier this year, Auckland Council commenced its latest revaluation exercise that would result in updated capital values being available on all properties in early November 2020. These valuations are one component in helping determine what portion of the region’s total rates an individual property owner pays.
COVID-19 and the lockdown have made it difficult to conduct a reliable revaluation this year. Property valuations are generated using recent sales data of comparable properties and other relevant market evidence such as rental levels. That sales data is currently limited, as COVID-19 has caused a significant drop in both the volume of property sales and the quality of rental evidence.
As a result, the Valuer-General has agreed to Auckland Council’s request to defer its 2020 general revaluation for one year because of difficulties caused by COVID-19.
Impact on rates
Rates will continue to be generated based on the current (2017) values in the same manner as the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 rates have been.
Impact on property prices
Rating valuations are not intended for market use. They are a mechanism to allocate rates among property owners.

The package, outlined by leader Judith Collins on Friday, would include a four-lane expressway, linking Whangārei, Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga and extending the passenger rail network to Pōkeno. It would scrap plans to install light rail to the airport and instead build a train connection from Puhinui. The future of the Skypath is also in question. National would favour another Waitematā Harbour crossing in the form of a tunnel. What are your thoughts on the policies? Do you think they'll help combat congestion in Auckland?
