Nelson City Council - RFP - NTRLBU - Assessment of Environmental Effects - Technical Assessment - Surface Water - 11 Sept 2025

The Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council jointly own two regional landfills which are managed through a dedicated Joint Committee – the Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Business Unit (NTRLBU). These facilities are:

York Valley Landfill – 102 Market Road, Bishopdale, Nelson
Eves Valley Landfill – 214 Eves Valley Road, Waimea West, Tasman

These landfills serve as regional waste disposal sites for municipal solid waste generated across the Nelson Tasman region and currently accept waste from the Buller district. Currently, York Valley Landfill is the primary facility in use and will continue to accept waste until its current cell, Gully 1, reaches capacity – originally projected for 2031 or until expiry of its existing resource consents (December 2034).

As part of this process, an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) is required to support the consent application. This assessment will involve a range of technical studies, which are outlined in Section 2: Our Requirements.

NTRLBU is procuring each technical component individually to ensure that every assessment is carried out by professionals with the most relevant expertise in their respective fields. Respondents are invited to tender for one or more work packages; however, each package will be assessed and evaluated independently. It is therefore essential that each submission stands alone and is capable of being reviewed on its own merits.

This RFP is for the SURFACE WATER package, with the other packages being the subject of separate RFPs, with deliverables subject to a staged work programme.
