The site operator is currently filling the final waste cell on site and installing horizontal gas wells to begin capturing gas from newly deposited waste. This is an important step in controlling landfill gas emissions.
In December 2025, the operator has arranged for permanent gas wells to be installed in the previously filled cell to enhance long-term gas collection. While this work is necessary, it may result in a temporary increase in odour during the drilling process.
The onsite gas plant continues to burn captured landfill gas, helping to reduce odour and carbon emissions while supplying approximately 1 MW of electricity to the grid. These activities form part of the operators ongoing obligations to manage gas and odour in line with their permit requirements.
We are working closely with the site operator and the local council to monitor progress and ensure that environmental standards and permit conditions are being met. We continue to carry out regular inspections to monitor progress and ensure compliance.
Further horizontal wells have been installed in the current active cell, to enable gas capture from the newly deposited waste.
Construction of the latest cell is ongoing and progressing well. The gas plant has had one new engine and continues to burn the captured gas to generate electricity and reduce carbon emissions. This ongoing work will reduce gas release and odour. We continue to carry out regular visits and odour tours.
Construction of new cell - May 2025
