This project is now complete
Project Complete
Phase 1 (main cell) works were completed in March 2023.
The Environmental Protection Authority license is pending for use of Cell 4.
Phase 2 works are progressing as a lower priority. This part of the cell will not be needed for several years.
Project Overview
The need for construction of Cell 4 was brought forward as a result of the bushfire event in 2019/20. Due to the large amount of bushfire waste generated, data showed the current active landfill cell (Cell 3B) would be filled at a far quicker rate than would normally be expected.
Cell 3B was commissioned into service in January 2020 however by August 2020, approximately half of its capacity was utilised by the bushfire waste clean-up program. This significantly impacted the initial anticipated life of approximately three years for Cell 3B. As a result, there was a need to bring forward the construction of the next waste cell, Cell 4, at the Bairnsdale Regional Landfill.
A design for the construction of Cell 4 was developed to ensure Council can continue to meet community needs. The Cell 4 design was audited by an accredited third party and approved by the Victorian Environment Protection Authority.
The project provides for future waste disposal requirements for the East Gippsland Shire community. With the closure of Lakes Entrance Landfill now complete, and the planned transition of the Cann River Landfill to Transfer Station, Cell 4 at Bairnsdale Regional Landfill will provide for the whole municipality.
The cell has been constructed with a Type 2 Landfill liner system in accordance with the Best Practice Environmental Management. The life of Cell 4 considering modeled demand is approximately 3-years.
