Hutt City Council (HCC) is seeking an experienced and motivated partner to construct new landfill capital development works at Silverstream Landfill, commencing in 2025.

Capital development works consist of the construction and lining of new landfill cells and associated infrastructure and coordinating works to ensure continued landfill development.

Construction of a new asbestos cell is also required as part of the capital development works.

Council is looking for an experienced and proactive contractor partner, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality landfill construction projects. A key commitment of the Council is to promote effective decarbonise across its projects. To deliver this, we are looking to partner with our capital works contractor to lower emissions associated with the landfill construction works, particularly through the use of hybrid and electric plant. Operating as a local authority, it is essential we are optimising public value from our contracts, while upholding high health and safety standards. Optimising public value means more than simply lowest cost, we are interested in a high quality of service and delivering on Council priorities including timely delivery to support the landfill operation as well as decarbonisation.

The broader outcomes that HCC is seeking include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, meeting construction programming to allow continued landfill operation, and enhancing community benefits. These outcomes will be embedded into the partnership, requiring our contractor to deliver on all of these priorities.
