Taylor Pass Closed Landfill - Future Use
Background
The Taylor Pass landfill site operated up until the mid-1990's receiving waste from the Blenheim community and surrounding areas. The site was closed in 1996 and a new landfill opened on the outskirts of town named Bluegums.
When the Taylor Pass landfill was closed it was capped off' with suitable soil materials to prevent rain entering the site.
Development opportunities on a closed landfill are limited due to the nature of the site and any proposed future use would have to take this into account.
