The Kealba Quarry began as a basalt quarry on the edge of St Albans / Kealba / Sunshine North and was later converted into the Kealba (Sunshine) Landfill, operated by the Barro Group. Its modern history is dominated by long-running community conflict, legal battles, and the 2019 present underground landfill fires (“hotspots”) that have caused severe odour and environmental concerns. As of the 19 February 2026, EPA Victoria confirmed that 3 of the 4 hotspots have been extinguished, but one hotspot remains active.5860.01 - Kealba Quarry - EPA Fires Up Legal Action.jpg 5860.02 - Kealba Quarry - EPA Resident's Newsletter Page 1.jpg 5860.02 - Kealba Quarry - EPA Resident's Newsletter Page 2.jpg 5860.03 - Kealba Quarry - Barro Licence Cancelled.jpg 5860.04 - Kealba Quarry - Charges Dropped.jpg 5860.05 - Kealba Quarry - No Meetings Until There's New Info.jpg 5860.06 - Kealba Quarry - Landfill Not Suitable EPA.jpg 5860.07 - Kealba Quarry - Barro Group Concrete And Rock Recycling Facility Resident Survey Page 1.jpg 5860.07 - Kealba Quarry - Barro Group Concrete And Rock Recycling Facility Resident Survey Page 2.jpg 5680.08 - Kealba Quarry - EPA Failing Brimbank As Fires Still Burn.jpg 5860.09 - Kealba Quarry - EPA Failing Brimbank.jpg 5860.10 - Kealba Quarry - Barro Suspended.jpg 5860.11 - Kealba Quarry - Kealba landfill Disaster A Toxic Prison Locals Can't Escape And No End In Slight.jpgkealba quarry, kealba landfill, barro group, mcintyre road, sunshine north, kealba
