Nine cells have been constructed at the facility. Cells 1 to 7 have been filled with waste from December 2005 until March 2013. To date, approximately 820,000 tonnes of material have been placed into the engineered cells comprising MSW and material for recovery / interim capping. Cells 1 to 7 have been capped with temporary geocomposite capping material and a section of Cell 1 has had synthetic permanent capping materials installed. Cells No. 8 and 9 have been constructed, but no waste has yet been placed in these cells. In order to prepare the landfill to recommence acceptance of waste, a number of specific items of infrastructural work need to be executed at the facility.
