Completed late 2023.
Works are continuing on the final rehabilitation of the former Bungendore landfill.
The final capping works have now been completed (October 2023) and we are starting to plant screen trees around the boundary.
Bungendore Landfill was closed in late 2014 when the Resource Recovery Facility opened. .
The rehabilitation is required to prevent significant negative and ongoing environmental and community impacts.
The work will significantly reduce potential environmental impacts from the buried waste and will provide an impermeable barrier to prevent water entering the waste and producing leachate. Leachate is the liquid formed when wast breaks down in the landfill and water filters through that waste. Preventing leachate generation reduces greenhouse gas emissions and potential interaction with groundwater sources.
A residential development is also under construction adjacent to the landfill and this work will prevent odour and wind-blown litter issues.
Short term environmental impacts during construction will be managed in accordance with the adopted Review of Environmental Factors.
We will be removing a substantial number of trees on the periphery of the landfill site. They need to be removed to ensure that an impermeable capping layer can be created. All trees are non-native and many are at the end of their life. Following completion of the works, we will engage a contractor to plant and establish screening trees around the boundary. A landscape design is included below.
There are no changes to the opening hours or access arrangements for the Bungendore Resource Recovery Facility or Buy-back Centre.
