Daracon wins $23M contract to expand Australia’s Awaba landfill, adding capacity for 114,428 trucks of waste and extending its life to 2038.
Daracon Group has won a contract to expand the Awaba Waste Management Facility in Lake Macquarie, Australia, with construction starting in early 2026 and finishing by 2027.
The project will add two new waste cells, increasing capacity by the equivalent of 114,428 garbage trucks, and upgrade the leachate pond to improve environmental performance.
The expansion is critical as existing cells are expected to reach capacity by March 2027, serving about 220,000 residents and 83,000 households.
The project, following a prior $23 million expansion in 2020, aims to extend the landfill’s life to at least 2038.
Daracon emphasized minimizing service disruptions, drawing on past experience.
In 2024–25, the facility processed 64,000 tonnes of waste, with 55,000 tonnes recycled.
Council leaders say the upgrade supports long-term sustainability and improved waste management.
