We’ve recently just completed the construction of two new landfill cells and a new leachate storage pond. Works completed during the project included:

  • demolition of roads, drainage infrastructure and minor structures
  • a new haul road (finished in early 2017)
  • bulk earthworks and vegetation removal
  • installing a new leachate storage pond, sumps and pipework
  • new landfill gas management system to collect and drain landfill gas to our existing system
  • installing engineered lining to allow the containment of waste

We've been placing waste in these new cells, after the Environment Protection Agency gave their approval in early 2019.
