North Bannister Landfill Gas Upgrade Project (Revoked)

North Bannister Landfill Gas Upgrade Project is a landfill gas waste project located at the North Bannister Resource Recovery Park, approximately 94km south-southeast of Perth in Western Australia. It was registered in July 2024 by LMS Energy Pty Ltd.

Landfill gas upgrade projects involve modifying or expanding an existing landfill gas collection system to capture and combust methane-rich biogas generated from decomposing legacy and non-legacy organic waste. By destroying the methane through flaring or power generation, the project prevents a potent greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere and earns Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) for abatement achieved beyond baseline regulatory requirements.

The North Bannister area is situated in the Darling Range within the Wheatbelt region. The broader regional land use is known for agriculture, forestry operations, and bauxite mining, though the project area itself operates as a major valley-style putrescible landfill. The region experiences a Mediterranean climate with reliable winter rainfall averaging between 600mm and 700mm annually, and the soils generally consist of granitic loams, laterite, and sand over clay.

Interestingly, this specific carbon project was recently revoked on 25 September 2026 under section 30 of the CFI Rule. The host landfill is a massive resource recovery facility initially developed by Perthwaste (later acquired by Veolia) and acts as a primary waste destination for the Perth metropolitan area, receiving up to 30,000 tonnes of waste per month hauled down the Albany Highway.
