Are we safe?

The well-being of our community is our top priority. It is common for old landfills to be closed and re-established with residential properties developing around them. Council’s environmental consultants have completed several rounds of air-monitoring for methane gases at the Oval, and in some of the homes adjacent to the Oval, over the past two years. The results tell us that while some remedial work is needed to stop landfill gases moving off site, the levels off site are not posing an unacceptable risk to the residents.
