This fire, complete with rubber tyres, treated timber and plastic spouting, could see a Whangārei landowner face legal action after it was deemed to be a breach of regional plan rules.
A Whangārei landowner could face legal action from the Northland Regional Council after a large fire containing rubber tyres, treated timber and plastic spouting had to be put out.
The council confirmed it is considering whether to impose any enforcement action on those responsible for the blaze.
The council said
an investigating officer visited a fire at a South End Ave site last Wednesday.
It said investigations are ongoing, but the officer confirmed the fire was unauthorised and clearly breached regional plan rules.
Colin Dall, NRC group manager regulatory services said the fire was reported to the council and officers found plastics, rubber tyres and other rubbish were being burned at South End Ave.
