Jindabyne Resource Recovery Centre (RRC)
Project Type: New build
Project Location: Adjacent to Jindabyne Waste Facility
Funding: Council is actively seeking grant funding to deliver the RRC
What are we doing?
This project has evolved from an original plan to expand the Jindabyne landfill, which would have given the landfill a longer lifespan and more airspace.
Throughout the investigations, Council determined that the most environmentally conscious and financially efficient option was to close the Jindabyne landfill and build a dedicated Resource Recovery Centre (RRC), also known as a transfer station.
Such a facility would be able to recover more recyclables and other resources from waste that would otherwise have gone into landfill.
The location selected for the RRC is adjacent to the existing landfill so that, when opened, residents will not have to change their routines when they visit the RRC. The location also preserves the existing visual amenity of Lake Jindabyne when viewed from Jindabyne township.
Latest Update - September 2025
Following the closure of landfilling operations at Jindabyne, Council has investigated three options for waste transfer and resource recovery by way of community meetings with both residents and commercial operators. Based on community feedback, Council has developed indicative design imagery for all three options, which will be presented to Council in September 2025.
