Redland City Council is asking residents to minimise visits to Birkdale Waste Transfer Station for the next six weeks due to a high volume of trucks working on site.

The trucks are hauling clay from Wynnum, beginning after Easter weekend, as part of an ongoing $7 million project to rehabilitate Birkdale Landfill.

Council’s waste infrastructure spokesperson Cr Paul Gleeson said the high traffic hadn’t been expected until July but Council had managed to negotiate a deal that required earlier transportation works.

 “There will be some major delays to site access between now and late May, so we strongly encourage people to avoid using the Birkdale Waste Transfer Station where they can,” Cr Gleeson said.

“If you do need to make a trip to the tip consider visiting our other mainland waste transfer station at Redland Bay to avoid congestion.

“It’s unfortunate that there will be some impacts on residents, and we appreciate everyone’s patience while these essential community works are ongoing.

“While bringing the transportation of clay forward from July will result in increased traffic, it is a win for ratepayers, with cost savings for the community.

 This Birkdale Landfill remediation project will take 12 – 18 months to complete and will see areas being capped and re-vegetated with grass cover to improve water and storm water quality.

These works, which are required by the State Government, will also limit greenhouse gas emissions that occur as waste breaks down by capturing and using the gases to generate electricity.

Residents can stay up to date with the progress of the works by visiting Council’s website www.redland.qld.gov.au.
