MORE LAND FOR RECREATION PLANNED

***

A CONTROLLED TIP WILL BE BUILT AT JORDAN VALLEY AND THEN WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR RECREATION.

IT IS PART OF A PROJECT OF THE CIVIL ENGINEERING OFFICE OF THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

TENDERS ARE BEING INVITED FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH ALSO INVOLVES CONSTRUCTING AN ACCESS ROAD TO THE TIP AS WELL AS 400 METRES OF DRAINAGE TO DIVERT STORM WATER IN THE AREA.

TO MINIMISE THE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, THE SANITARY LANDFILL METHOD WILL BE USED TO BUILD THE TIP. WHICH WILL HAVE A DAILY CAPACITY OF 680 TONS OF REFUSE COLLECTED BY THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

ONE MILLION TONS OF REFUSE WILL HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED, BY THE TIME THE TIP IS COMPLETELY FILLED IN 1989.

THE SEVEN HECTARES OF LAND PROVIDED WILL THEN BE CONVERTED TO RECREATIONAL AND AMENITY USES.

THE WORKS CONTRACT, COVERING THE ACCESS ROAD, DRAINAGE AND PART OF THE TIP PROJECT, WILL TAKE 29 MONTHS TO COMPLETE.

OTHER TENDERS WILL BE INVITED LATER TO CARRY OUT THE REMAINING WORK ON BUILDING THE TIP.
