Policy WM 3: Interim Landfill or Land Raising Facilities

In line with the WMS, prior to the establishment of an integrated network of waste management facilities, the development of interim landfill or land raising facilities for the disposal of waste will be permitted where the criteria under (c) are met and the proposed facility: (i) provides essential interim capacity; (ii) is likely to form part of a co-ordinated regional or sub-regional network; and (iii) as far as possible does not lead to an increase in the number of active landfill sites.
