Feedback for this project has finished. Thank you to everyone who responded to our short survey which closed on 25 July 2022.

There will be further updates regarding the project in the coming months.

Toowoomba Regional Council has commenced designing a new facility for Greenmount and surrounding districts to replace the existing landfill which is nearing capacity.

The new Greenmount Waste Management Facility will be the Region’s second Tier 2 facility and will be the major transfer facility for the southern area of Toowoomba Region.

The proposed design is based on the principles of the Greater Toowoomba Waste Management Facility, modified to suit the requirements of Greenmount and the surrounding communities.

Being developed as part of the Waste Infrastructure Plan in order to deliver TRC’s Waste Management Strategy, the new facility will be constructed on the same site as the existing landfill.

The new facility at Greenmount is the next step in delivering Council’s Waste Strategy. This strategy will ultimately help council transition to reuse as much of our waste products as possible and help us deliver on the State Government target for 90% of all waste generated to be redirected from landfill by 2050.

We are asking the community to provide feedback and comments on the design.

Waste transfer facilities are a cleaner, neater and tidier waste solution. Waste is stored on pavement, and transported to landfill locations offsite, reducing the extent of odour, dust, and animal/rodent control required. Litter prevention controls are put in place to contain windblown litter from the facility and prevent it from entering drains. Transfer facilities reduce the impacts to the community associated with landfill activity as well as ensuring environmental compliance.
