I disagree with businesses making profit at the expense of the environment and I lack faith in the council’s will to protect it.Andrew Parkin (Huntly, 2021-03-06)

The wishes of our residents need to be respected. We are tying to protect our land and its future. The company that is managing the quarry will leave and not look back when it has made the money it obviously came for. They have shown nothing but disregard for Huntly and its residents. I believe them to be completely untrustworthy based on their actions and conduct so far.Jessica Rix (Huntly, 2021-03-06)

We use our roto all the time, swimming, waka ama and walking. Its the only swimmable lake in our town. In fact its probably one of the very few lakes in the country that is still swimmable. Gleeson & Cox have broken trust with our community, we dont want them destroying our lake.Erin Taoho (Raahui Pookeka, 2021-03-06)

Our Lake holds so much potential for our community. And provides our community with so much. We look after our lake as much as our lake looks after usOkeroa Rapana (Huntly, 2021-03-06)

I’m signing because this is outrageous and disgusting, the irreversible and potential damage that this will cause to the environment in our beautiful community is disgraceful! We are not a rubbish dump!!!!Kristy Wilson (Huntly, 2021-03-06)

Lake Puketirini is a pristine fresh water lake, probably the cleanest in the Waikato. Having a dump close by that has the potential to leach nasty pollutants into the soil and end up in the lake is not acceptable, even with a so called risk management plan. Pukemiro coal mine mismanagement is just one local example of not being able to trust industrial enterprises with sensitive environments! Move the dump far from waterways!Dana Sides (Waikato, 2021-03-06)

Because every year my family use this beautiful lake for many purposes like swimming, Waka Ama, training etc to name afew. Please do not turn this beautiful area into a landfill place.Teina Moana Wilson (Huntly, 2021-03-06)

Dumps of any kind near our only swimmable lake should be prohibited. Nonnegotiable. Accidents happen and greed is real . Best we stop it before it starts . Puketirini can’t be restored once gone .Bronwyn Kosoof (Huntly, 2021-03-06)

I’m signing because I used to live five minutes away from the lake when I was young, we done wakaama training there EVERY YEAR, and was/is a popular place for walking and swimming in the summer.Cydnee Anderson (Takanini, 2021-03-06)

They should not have resource to discharge ANYTHING into this lake in these modern times and dump far too close to residential housing boundary.Alan Kosoof (Huntly, 2021-03-06)

This Lake is a pride and joy of Huntly and shouldn't be taken away to create a landfill. It is way too close for those residing around it aswell.Haley Curtis (Te Kauwhata, 2021-03-06)

Locally born and bread Huntly kid. This is our playground, our Waka ama grounds, our swimming pool, a place we can walk peacefully and our drive schools home. Stop giving us more of a reason to be named the "shittest" town in New Zealand. This is OUR HOME.Te Atairehia Strickland (Huntly, 2021-03-06)

Huntly is NOT a dumping ground !Louana Murphy (Huntly, 2021-03-07)

This company is not above the law, contrary to what they might believe. A rep actually said that it's easier to apologise than to ask for permission. We, the community, are no longer prepared to be treated like we're nothing. It's OUR town - not theirs. And council need to step up, listen to their constituents, and do their job!!Pauline Anderson (Huntly, 2021-03-07)
#103
I'm signing because I've had a lot of amazing memories there throughout my waka ama days and days I would go swimming there with friends and family. So if it was to get ruined, my memories would go with that special lake..Mahinarangi Nikau-lorimer (Huntly, 2021-03-07)

It is a taonga of our hapori that should never be disrespected Gleeson and Cox!Caprice Turner (RAAHUI POOKEKA, 2021-03-07)

I'm signing this petition because it appears that the Waikato District Council and/or Waikato Regional Council have been neutered and can't or won't get involved or enforce violations of bylaws or bylaw infringements. Maybe they only care about money rather than public opinion.Craig Anderson (Huntly, 2021-03-07)

I don't want a landfill in this areaPaddy Thompson (Wellington, 2021-03-07)
#137
I'm signing because I don't think there is a community need for the landfill at the Gleesonand Cox quarry and there is a possibility of damage to the environment. Also Gleeson and Cox have already ignored resource consent restrictions so there is a high possibility of this offending reoccurring under a landfill consent.Kathie Shepard (Huntly, 2021-03-07)

I believe that our lakes and water ways need to be looked after. My children swim and paddle and respect our water ways and we say no to a "Managed landfill" in the proposed area that we live in.Nancy Hughes (Raahui Pookeka, 2021-03-07)

The Lake is amazing and one of the last nice places in the area.Ruining with landfill waste should be a NO at government and council level.

Huntly may not be my favorite town but it does not need another landfill. It needs smarter ways of handling waste.Just burying it will do more harm to a town already suffering from pollution.

My children and I have been paddling and swimming in the lake for over 10 years. We need to keep it clean and safe.Aaron Taitoko (Huntly, 2021-03-08)
#157
I live near this quarry, and I believe this new dumping will cause more disturbance to my street, home and town. The trucks have already increased significantly past my home which increases noise, dust, and makes the road feel less safe. I do not believe that Gleeson can guarantee there will be no negative environmental effects from this dumping, therefore it should not go ahead. We are trying to improve Huntly not make it a dump!Lorrel Finn (Huntly, 2021-03-08)

This is a disgusting proposal,converting a community asset to landfill!I use this area all the time! There are very few public available spaces around Huntly to go for a good walk. Do NOT destroy one of them!

I have had involvement with resource consenting and operation of landfills in this area and do not want to see any more consents granted - there is zero environmental positives to be gained from new consents. Find another mean to dispose of/recycle waste.Stefan Macfie (Cambridge, 2021-03-08)

It is such a beautiful, scenic landmark. Many, many families spend lots of summer days swimming, jumping off the platform, sailing, motorboating, waka ama and kayaking in the lake. It is a safe place for kids to swim. Why destroy such a beautiful recreational resource. It is so wrong.Martha Hooton (Te Kauwhata, 2021-03-08)
