$100.00 – $2,450.00
Join us in Brisbane for #2026ALTS
Landfills and transfer stations play an essential role in an integrated waste and resource recovery (WARR) industry, providing facilities for materials aggregation and separation, recovery, and final disposal, as well as being critical in times of disaster. Australia’s facilities are highly engineered and designed to ensure best practice.
Sensible infrastructure planning, and continued improvement and innovation in design, operation, regulation, and safety, are all paramount for these facilities to continue to deliver the essential services and support they offer.
Over three (3) days WMRR’s 2026 Australian Landfill & Transfer Stations (2026ALTS) Conference will provide a forum to share knowledge and discuss opportunities, pathways, and models to drive the industry forward. Highlights include:
- Your choice of two intensive pre-conference workshops
- Keynote panels and presentations featuring local and international industry experts
- Ten sessions covering landfill planning, design & construction, operations and closure; case studies, dedicated sessions on landfill gas and leachate management; and transfer stations
- Opportunities to network at one of two social functions – pre-conference networking drinks and the official conference dinner
- A range of industry sponsors and exhibitors sharing and showcasing their knowledge and innovation in the landfill and transfer stations sector
