Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley
Future Waste Facility – Concept Design and Costing (2024)
Preparation of a concept layout and staged development approach for a future landfill and transfer station facility in a remote regional context
Assessment of three landfill liner scenarios (geosynthetic, compacted clay and unlined) to compare capital cost, unit disposal cost and environmental risk
Development of schematic layouts covering landfill cells, drop‑off and transfer areas, internal roads, stormwater and leachate management infrastructure
Delivery of high‑level capital cost estimates and unit cost benchmarking to inform long‑term planning, regulatory discussions and investment decisions
ASK Waste Management, in collaboration with GreenTec Consulting, was engaged by the Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley to prepare a concept design and capital cost assessment for a future waste management facility.
The project responds to the Shire’s need for a long‑term, compliant disposal solution suitable for remote regional conditions and modest waste volumes.
The study developed a conceptual layout for a new landfill and transfer station facility designed to manage approximately 10,000 tonnes of waste per annum, with an initial operational life of 30 years. Three landfill construction scenarios were assessed—geosynthetic lined, compacted clay lined, and unlined—each with differing capital cost, operational complexity and environmental risk profiles.
The report provides schematic layouts, staged development assumptions and detailed capital cost estimates to support strategic decision‑making and engagement with regulators.
