We are developing a new cell at the Kelsey Creek Landfill, Proserpine, from 1 May - 31 October 2024 (subject to weather). The new cell will provide over 5 additional years of capacity for our waste system, servicing general waste for settlements in the south of the Region.

Check out our fact sheet for an overview of the project and anticipated changes to commercial and industrial waste drop-offs.

During construction, the following impacts to services are expected:

  1. Non-recyclable commercial and industrial waste over 8T (GVM) or more than 2 axles will only be received by the Bowen landfill from 1 May – 31 October 2024, while works on the Kelsey Creek landfill are undertaken.
  2. All landfills will only accept limited quantities of asbestos, up to 300kg per day, please contact Council to schedule delivery and acceptance via phone – (1300 972 753) or email wastemanagement@whitsundayrc.qld.gov.au
  3. Recyclable commercial and industrial waste is still accepted at the Kelsey Creek Landfill, we encourage all users to sort and recycle their waste to help extend our landfill capacities!
  4. Residents will experience no changes to waste pick-up or drop off at landfills or satellite facilities. Some may notice an increase in skip bins travelling to Bowen, carrying domestic waste from rubbish trucks to help create the first soft layer of rubbish within the new Bowen landfill cell.

Notifications will be made to public when progress has been made on waste acceptance at Kelsey Creek. Stay up to date by following the project (right).
