Solution: We completed a human health and environmental risk assessment of landfill gas, waste, leachate and acid sulfate soils. To support construction and future site operations we identified and advised on design and construction of an asbestos barrier and gas protection; completed a waste classification for disposal and reuse; engaged with landfill operators and Council; and developed a Construction Environmental Management Plan to minimise human health and environmental impacts during construction.

Outcome: Our investigation achieved a thorough understanding of the Site’s contamination profile, informing the Club of project and environmental risks such that mitigation and treatments could be adopted throughout the design and construction process. Our work supported the Club’s submission of an Approval for Works to Council and informed the development of future disposal permit applications and building design.
