Proterra Group was awarded the Mundubbera Waste Management Facility contract in late-2022.

The Mundubbera Waste Management Facility is the principal waste facility for Council and is the only landfill for the Region. The site is located on 59 acres of freehold land that has previously been cleared and is owned by the North Burnett Regional Council. The site is south of the Burnett River approximately 2.5km by road from the centre of Mundubbera township.

To date only the eastern third of the site has been developed for use in waste management operations, this is approximately 22 acres. The development of the site includes security fencing, weighbridge, site buildings, stockpiles for recyclables, landfill cell for municipal solid waste (MSW) and a dam located in the southeast corner of the site.

The site accepts a range of waste including domestic waste, commercial waste, domestic clean up waste, construction waste, industrial waste, garden waste, putrescible waste, solid inert waste and certain regulated waste.
