Published · Cenlocal summary
Brisbane City Council’s October notice announced a 3 October reopening after a contained waste-pit fire at Chandler.
Brisbane City Council’s October service notice announced that Chandler Resource Recovery Centre would reopen on Saturday 3 October 2026 following a fire-related closure. The notice was published on 2 October and subsequently updated with the reopening announcement.
Council said the fire occurred overnight inside the waste pit, was safely contained and caused no injuries. The original closure advice explained that the site would remain shut while assessments were completed. Council and site operators worked with emergency services and relevant specialists on arrangements for a safe reopening.
The announcement also said the Ferny Grove, Nudgee and Willawong recovery centres were unaffected and operating during normal hours. People seeking further information were directed to council’s 24-hour contact centre on 3403 8888. This story records the October reopening notice rather than independently confirming the site’s current operating conditions.
