Funding for waste project u by Anna Harding
The goal of reducing Kaipara’s waste output adopted by the Love Kaipara project has had a boost of $135,000 from the government, in addition to another $30,000 in grants over three years from the Kaipara District Council. The KDC money in turn comes from subsidy funding from the government’s landfill levies.

Associate Environment Minister, Scott Simpson, visited Dargaville last week to announce the grant from the Ministry of Environment’s Waste Minimisation Fund to representatives of the regional and district councils. Kaipara District councillor Victoria del
la Varis-Woodcock who is driving the project, says the funding is “a huge step towards the philosophical goal of a waste free Kaipara.” The project has three main objectives — education in schools, raising community awareness and making the Northland Field Days
waste free by 2022. Mr Simpson said that he thought the goal of a waste free Kaipara was very achievable and that he commended “this terrific objective.”
