Gisborne Council to Consider Campervan Waste Dump Station
Original source: Inside Government NZ

In Brief

Gisborne District Council will consider a new campervan waste dump station through the Long Term Plan. Cost estimated up to $155,000, but no commitment yet.

Gisborne District Council has agreed to consider an additional campervan and caravan effluent dump station through the next Long Term Plan process. This follows a nearly decade-long campaign by users. Mayor Rehette Stoltz supported the initiative, noting the need to attract tourists after the departure of the Rhythm and Vines festival.

The project cost is estimated at up to $155,000. However, the decision does not commit the council to building or funding the station at this stage; instead, further work on costs, funding options, and delivery mechanisms has been requested. Final decisions will be made after assessment within the Long Term Plan, considering other community priorities and opportunities for public input.
