Granville Landfill Update - 6 March 2026

We are aware of an increase in odour complaints over the past few weeks. Our officers have been out on-site undertaking regular odour assessments and site visits during this period.

During our site visit on 24 February 2026, we were made aware of a mechanical breakdown which directly affects the operator's ability to accept waste. The operator has informed us that this equipment has been sent off for repair. They will inform us when the repair is completed and they are able to accept waste again.

We have instructed the operator to investigate the odour sources and review the landfill gas management in specific areas, we have asked them to work with their gas contractor to ensure the appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented. We have required them to provide this information by 13 March 2026.

We will continue to conduct regular odour assessments and site visits to ensure that the permit conditions on the site are met.
