The Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council jointly own two regional landfills which are
managed through a dedicated Joint Committee - the Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Business
Unit (NTRLBU). These facilities are:
 York Valley Landfill – 102 Market Road, Bishopdale, Nelson
 Eves Valley Landfill – 214 Eves Valley Road, Waimea West, Tasman

These landfills serve as regional waste disposal sites for municipal solid waste generated across the
Nelson Tasman region and currently accept waste from the Buller district. Currently, York Valley
Landfill is the primary facility in use and will continue to accept waste until its current cell, Gully 1,
reaches capacity – originally projected for 2031 or until expiry of its existing resource consents
(December 2034).

In recent years, NTRLBU has made substantial investments to preserve and optimise the available
airspace at York Valley. These efforts, combined with improved waste placement technologies and
strong community waste minimisation initiatives, have extended the landfill’s airspace capacity by an
estimated 10 years.

Extending the landfill’s operational lifespan presents substantial economic advantages for the region by
deferring the need to establish a new facility. To formalise this extension, NTRLBU will seek a Closure
Consent, which will both prolong the current operational consent period and define the conditions for
the landfill’s closure.

As part of this process, an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) is required to support the
consent application. This assessment will involve a range of technical studies, which are outlined in
Section 2: Our Requirements.

NTRLBU is procuring each technical component individually to ensure that every assessment is carried
out by professionals with the most relevant expertise in their respective fields. Respondents are invited
to tender for one or more work packages; however, each package will be assessed and evaluated
independently. It is therefore essential that each submission stands alone and is capable of being
reviewed on its own merits.

This RFP is for the PLANNING SERVICES package, with the other packages being the subject of
separate RFPs with deliverables subject to a staged work programme.
