Putting an airport on a harbour means protection measures have to be taken.
Plans for Auckland Airport to invest in world-leading technology to improve environmental impacts on the Manukau have met with Manukau Harbour Forum approval.
The airport has learnt from Cyclone Gabrielle flooding and sustainability manager Ellie Callard recently addressed the forum to outline some of the steps it has taken to reduce the impact of future extreme events.
Harbour Forum chair Jon Turner says it’s fantastic to see the airport stepping up.
“What’s welcome is hearing Auckland Airport wants to take more responsibility for the environment. It remains committed to sustainability, where it already has a record of progress in emissions reductions, energy savings and waste management. The Manukau needs all the help it can get.”
