Jindabyne Resource Recovery Centre (RRC)

Project Type: New build

Project Location: Adjacent Jindabyne Landfill

Funding: Council is actively seeking grant funding to deliver the RRC

What are we doing?

This project has evolved from an original plan to expand Jindabyne Landfill, which would have given the landfill a longer lifespan and more airspace.

Throughout the investigations Council determined that the most environmentally conscious and financially efficient option was to close Jindabyne Landfill and build a dedicated Resource Recovery Centre (RRC), also known as a transfer station.

Such a facility would be able to recover more recyclables and other resources from waste that would otherwise have gone into landfill. 

The location selected for the RRC is adjacent the existing landfill so that, when opened, residents will not have to change their routines when they visiting the RRC. The location also preserves the existing visual amenity of Lake Jindabyne when viewed from Jindabyne township.

Latest Update - February 2025

The design for the RRC is now at a stage suitable for a Development Application (DA) submission. The DA was submitted in January 2025 and is currently out to public exhibition.

Following the exhibition process the DA will go to Council to be voted on. Council is actively seeking funding for the next phase of the project to tender and commence construction.
