Today, the mine site is being used for developments in green energy while still providing for Sydney's waste disposal. The owners of the mine, Veolia, plan to begin using the mine in late 2007 to harvest methane gas and use it for electricity to cut down the greenhouse gas emissions from the mine. The company also plans to use the organic waste in the site, once broken down, for fertiliser.Frew, Wendy, "All power to the super dump's stench", Sydney Morning Herald, 17 April 2007.

In 2005, the Government also gave approval to Veolia to build a $96 million, 25-tower wind farm at the site, which would generate enough electricity to power 22,000 homes."$96 million wind farm for NSW", Sydney Morning Herald, 11 October 2005.

However, as existing quotas on greenhouse gases at State and Commonwealth levels were being fulfilled at that time, the project was postponed in July 2006 until renewable energy targets were raised."Wind farm postponed until renewable energy targets rise", ABC News, 20 July 2006.
