| Landfill rehabilitation | | Council charges $25 per developed property to finance landfill rehabilitation and aftercare works. The Environment Protection Authority has introduced Best Practice Guidelines for the Siting, Design, Operation and Rehabilitation of Landfills throughout the State, resulting in cost implications for Council.

All materials must be sorted and separated and placed in the correct location. Recyclable materials must not be placed in the landfill. Prior approval must be obtained for the disposal of commercial quantities of any material.
