Full details about the event program will be published on the conference website as they become available – www.landfill.com.au.

ThemeThe theme adopted for this year’s conference is “Continuing the transformation”.

Transfer stations and landfills are an essential component of an effective waste management system, and over the last decade these facilities have changed significantly in response to changes in policy, regulations, and community expectations. Transfer stations now have a primary role in sorting and recovering resources, as well as the efficient transfer of materials and waste to other facilities. Whilst landfills also commonly host a range of resource recovery activities, they also provide responsible disposal of residual waste.

In line with the theme, the conference will focus on the continuing transformation and improvement of transfer stations and landfills, and provide a forum to learn about and discuss the latest developments and innovations in policy, planning, design, management, monitoring and regulation of these facilities.

OneofAustralia’sfewplannedcities,Canberra is a place where architectural style complements the beauty of the surrounding Australian bush. Located on the ancient lands of the traditional owners, the Ngunnawal people, Canberra is thought to derive its name from the Aboriginal word Kamberra or ‘meeting place’.
