Introduction

01 September 2025

This month I’ve been to a couple of collaborative forums: the WMRR Australian Landfill and Transfer Stations Conference in Sydney and the One Basin CRC Annual Event in Goondiwindi, QLD. HydroTerra is involved because we provide monitoring technologies to both waste management and natural resource sectors. Both were exceptional events.

A curious observation, both the operators of irrigation enterprises and landfills currently feel to various degrees vilified, their social licence to operate under threat.

A common explanation put forward is that we have neglected to educate the next generation in the benefits of these industries, instead focussing solely on the environmental impacts. The consequence a biased demographic.

There’s a need for these industries to be respected. Landfill is after all an essential service, and we need to eat!

Both these sectors have achieved significant operational and environmental performance improvements over the last 30 years. There’s a need to share these successes.
