Campaigners fighting a proposed landfill at Dome Valley north of Auckland say they have had a "good win" today.
Waste Management's application for a plan change for a landfill precinct in the valley has been declined in a unanimous decision by Auckland Council-appointed commissioners.
Fight the Tip executive member Michelle Carmichael said this was only "part of the battle" amid an ongoing appeals process against a resource consent granted for initial landfill proposed.
