Improvements and changes to the management of water and leachate (nutrient charged liquid pollutant that all landfills create) need to be made on site.

This is a condition and licence requirement that is currently being met and needs to be updated with site improvements.

This project will:

  • remove the current leachate pond
  • upgrade existing storm water pathways and pond
  • build a new leachate pond to better accommodate extreme rainfall events

This will better manage water and leachate with updated site improvements.

Water management

With local extreme rainfalls, it is essential to manage the water on site.

Work has started on smaller improvements. Work will continue throughout the stages of the Master Plan.

Leachate management

All landfills create leachate (nutrient charged liquid pollutant) but this is managed for the health of the environment and to keep ongoing site costs down.
