Porirua City Council enhances environmental impact reduction strategies at Spicer Landfill with Omnis

Envirosuite is pleased to announce that Spicer's Landfill in Porirua, New Zealand has chosen our Omnis solution to provide industry-leading environmental intelligence across their site. Spicer Landfill is operated by the Porirua City Council, and this initiative reflects their commitment to advancing proactive environmental management practices. 

Spicer Landfill is a crucial facility for Porirua City, handling household, commercial, and industrial waste. It plays a key role in the city's infrastructure, contributing to economic development and providing critical waste disposal for the growing city’s 62,400 residents. However, the landfill is reaching capacity faster than expected, with current projections indicating it will be full by 2027/28.

Plans to extend the landfill, including the addition of two new cells, have been part of long-term city planning since 2009 and are outlined in the 2021-2051 Long-term Plan.

The landfill is working closely with the community to highlight the difficult operational challenges.  

 Navigating challenges of rapid urbanisation with Omnis 

Envirosuite’s Omnis solution will significantly enhance the operational team’s ability to anticipate, manage, and mitigate environmental impact on nearby communities.   

Comprehensive, real-time monitoring and analytics will support targeted odour control strategies by identifying high-risk areas onsite before they become serious.  

Hyperlocal weather forecasts will provide Spicer Landfill with the right tools to address potential issues promptly, while providing confidence in operational planning to minimise risk. Any nuisance reports received from neighbours will be validated by Omnis with advanced capabilities to support rapid investigation of any potential issues with the support of accepted scientific analysis methods.  

This proactive approach will support regulatory compliance and reinforce Porirua City Council's dedication to continuous improvement and innovation in environmental practices at the landfill.  

David Down, Manager - Waste at Porirua City Council said:  

"Adopting the Omnis platform from Envirosuite is a milestone in our mission to lead in sustainable waste management with transparency. The platform will enable us to operate with heightened awareness and precision, reducing our impact and supporting our community's well-being."  

Jason Cooper, Envirosuite CEO said:

"We are thrilled that Porirua City Council has selected our Omnis platform to support their proactive environmental initiatives. They join a growing number of landfills worldwide that are leveraging advanced environmental intelligence in Omnis to demonstrate responsible operations and minimise their impact. Our technology has been developed specifically to future-proof sites like Spicer Landfill so they can operate with greater precision and transparency.”
