Benalla Landfill and Resource Recovery Centre - Cell 2 update

Published on 21 May 2018

The Council is constructing a second EPA compliant, fully lined cell at the Benalla Landfill and Resource Recovery Centre. Construction of the previous cell was completed in 2015 and will be at its capacity by early 2019. 

The second cell is being constructed in two stages. The material excavation of the bulk earthworks is complete. Minor works, including the construction of haul roads, crossings, storm water drains, bunding and placement of top soil are being finalised before handover. These works complete Stage 1 of the Cell. 

The EPA conducted a detailed design audit of Stage 2 of the Cell and provided conditions to be met in the construction. The approval was received on 11 April 2018.

We are now in the procurement stages of Stage 2, which will involve the installation of the cell lining.
