Neighbours of Blaxland Resource Recovery and Waste Management Facility may have experienced odours from the facility recently.

Council apologies for any discomfort, inconvenience and concern this may have caused.

Despite Council’s best efforts to minimise odours, recent significant rain events has resulted in the facility experiencing a landslide that has exposed waste. Unfortunately the landslide may cause some short term odours to neighbouring properties under certain weather conditions.

Council has advised NSW Environment Protection Authority of the incident, as the regulator of the site, and engaged an expert consultant. Together, we are working through the issues to remediate the site.

At this stage the continued wet weather makes the site difficult and unsafe to commence remediation. Due to the wet grounds, machinery are unable to commence the required works until the grounds dry out. We ask for your patience and ensure that as soon as the conditions have improved and are safe, works will commence.
