Yes. Council passed a resolution to plan for a new Tier 2 facility to cater for the southern area of our Region. Feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly supportive of Council taking a long-term approach and considering the future growth of the region in siting and developing new waste management infrastructure facilities. In selecting new sites, Council considers various factors that ensure the sites meet the needs of the wider community and all sites must meet a minimum requirement of a 25 to 50-year lifespan.

Council’s Greenmount facility is nearing capacity and is not suitable for future use as a waste transfer station. The new facility will replace the existing Greenmount landfill. This site has been strategically selected due to its location and the overall level of service that it can provide to residents in the region, as identified in Council’s waste infrastructure plan.

Users of the facility will enter off Frank Road. Council is currently assessing appropriate routes to direct users for the facility. Road safety is a top priority in Council’s planning.

Council is currently reviewing the use of the remaining area of 379 Love Road. Council has previously leased sections of the land for farming use. 

Community engagement forms part of our process for the design and planning of the project. If you have any questions or you’d like further information, please contact Council on 131 872 or yoursay@tr.qld.gov.au.

Council is planning for cars, trailers and up to 4.5 tonne Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM). Council is currently assessing appropriate routes to direct users for the facility. Road safety is a top priority in Council’s planning.
