The Proposal
Meander Valley Council is proposing to increase the height of the existing landfill area at Deloraine Landfill by four metres. The increase would provide an additional four years of landfill disposal at Deloraine Landfill (based on the filling rates from previous years). There are no proposed changes to the annual quantities or types of waste received.
The proponent has lodged a Permit Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to Meander Valley Council.
The application was referred to the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) for assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).
