Landfill Capping Rehabilitation Works
The Mount Eliza Regional Park (Northern and Southern areas) are currently open to the public and used as open space parks by the community.
The site was used as a landfill for disposal of inert and putrescible waste from 1970’s to mid-1990’s. There is no current license, however the site was subject to an initial Pollution Abatement Notice (PAN) No. 3404 dated 9 May 2003. After which EPA issued two PAN’s and now intend to issue a Post Closure PAN for rehabilitation and aftercare management of the site.
The northern are of the Regional Park proposed work includes construction of swale drains, topsoil, turfing and offsite disposal of contaminated soil. The scope also includes material testing and other GITA requirements to meet EPA guidelines.
A revised design is currently under review from Melbourne Water and Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). The tender is expected to be issued in March with contractor engagement in May and construction to commence June 2024.
