Green Island Landfill - leachate drainage and earthworks

The Dunedin City Council’s (DCC) Waste Futures Programme includes implementing an improved kerbside recycling and waste collection service and the construction of a new landfill at Smooth Hill. In the interim, the DCC has applied for resource consent to extend the life of Green Island Landfill. Based on current waste disposal rates, it is likely that Green Island Landfill can continue to accept waste until the end of 2029. One of the critical parts of the Landfill infrastructure is the drainage system to manage leachate.

Between 2021 and 2023 leachate drainage infrastructure were installed centrally and in the northwest sectors of Green Island Landfill. Additional drainage work and earthworks are required now to prepare the western sector to receive additional waste.

We want to partner with an experienced contractor who has key staff that will be proactive with their communication and keep our landfill operator well informed and updated. Delivery on time is important, we want this work completed within 3 months and we seek to partner with a contractor who has the resources and expertise to get this work done quickly while completing it to a high standard of quality.
