What do the remediation works on the northern boundary of Foxglove Oval involve?
The landfill gas venting component of the remediation system is designed to collect landfill gas from underground along the batter and release it to the atmosphere under natural pressure through 4metre-high vertical vents (similar to the height of the existing ball fence along the northern boundary). The underground component of the remediation system includes landfill gas collection bores at the bottom of the batter and subsurface pipework to connect the bores to the vents.
In June 2023, the site was returned to Council to complete landscaping of the northern batter, in consultation with the locally impacted residents.
