Several pollution reports were sent to EPA Victoria at the end of 2020 due to the strong garbage-type smell coming from the landfill formerly owned by SUEZ on Hallam Road. The odour pollution was due to the tipping face and the company worked on covering it during the day.
Following the purchase of the landfill in 2022 by Veolia, the company received several notices from EPA for non compliance to their operating licence including a failure to reduce the risk of harm. The impact of the different odours and gases coming from the landfill were confirmed by EPA monitoring to be unlikely to cause long term impact. The company is set to submit a Landfill Gas Management plan by March 2024. [7]
