The proposed $200m-plus facility is expected to take about 480 tonnes of refuse a day, burning it to generate steam to turn into electrical power. Ahead of hearings on whether it should go ahead, the Waikato Times ran the rule over the 43-page Environmental Protection Authority submissions report.

“Camping’s been in my blood.”
