BLACK HILL LANDFILL OPEN DAY

The City of Ballarat will hold an information session at Chisholm Street Reserve from 8am to 12pm tomorrow - Saturday 7 December, to discuss management works for the former Black Hill Landfill site.

Trenching and drainage construction management works at the site will begin in January 2025 after Ballarat City Council awarded the contract. The tendered works at the site, also known as Chisholm Street Reserve, is required to ensure compliance with the Environment Protection Act 2017 and has been awarded to experienced landfill contractor Goldsmith Civil and Environmental.

The works are in response to monitoring results and will help manage stormwater runoff more effectively and manage gas migration risks. The rectification works include installation of a landfill gas trench, placed immediately south of the residential properties on Leerama Court, to intercept, naturally treat and passively vent any potential landfill gas in waste to the atmosphere. Stormwater improvements will also be undertaken to improve drainage and ensure water drains away from the landfill surface.

Goldsmith Civil and Environmental has started preliminary planning with site construction works expected to commence in January and, weather permitting, be completed by June 2025.

The works site will be fenced off to the public until early 2026, during the construction period and to allow for vegetation establishment after construction works are completed. The City of Ballarat has informed residents in the area and will hold the information session at the Black Hill Reserve car park off Chisholm Street tomorrow to provide additional information and answer any questions from the community.

FIREWORKS

The New Year’s Eve fireworks, which are being produced by local pyrotechnician Matthew Batty from Northern Fireworks, are scheduled to take place over Lake Wendouree at 9.30pm on Tuesday 31 December, subject to weather conditions.

DRAIN MAINTENANCE

More than 700 stormwater pits will be inspected and cleaned in Redan and Mount Helen in the lead up to Christmas.

The annual program of works will flush the drainage network in these areas, removing any debris that may lead to future pipe and pit blockages, to prevent any potential localised flooding.

Local contractor ASG Industrial will carry out the extensive pit inspection and cleaning program.

Where pits are located on residential property, residents may be contacted to provide the contractor with access to the pits.

The program also identifies broken pit inserts and surrounds as well as pipe blockages for future works.

The annual program targets different suburbs each year based on need.
