SNOWY Monaro Regional Council has enacted urgent operating changes to the Jindabyne Landfill due to the site approaching its end-of-life storage capacity, more quickly than council anticipated.
The landfill issues dominated discussion at last week's ordinary council meeting, along with a motion to investigate council's handling of complaints relating to a property on Micalago Road.
The meeting ran for five hours before councillors adjourned for the month. Only one of 24 notices of motion were addressed at the meeting, with councillors taking the best part of the meeting to work through the agenda.
Mayor Hanna moved a mayoral minute for council to urgently seek a meeting with Member for Monaro, Steve Whan, to discuss issues with the Jindabyne Landfill.
Council staff briefed councillors on Thursday, 13 March, advising the landfill was quickly nearing the end of its storage life. Urgent measures have been put in place to keep the site open.
Council also voted in favour of Cr Luke Williamson's motion to investigate issues relating to a property on Micalago Road. A neighbouring resident addressed council, detailing his concerns over the work being undertaken on the property next to him.
