PUBLIC comment on the proposed Neerabup resource recovery precinct in the City of Wanneroo’s Have your say section is open until Friday, November 21.
This is not to be confused with the comment period for the Neerabup resource recovery precinct business case for stage 1, which closes on Sunday, November 10.
The proposed Neerabup resource recovery precinct is designed to provide infrastructure for recyclables, organics and residual waste, including a waste-to-energy plant (an incinerator), material recovery facilities, food organics-garden organics (FOGO) processing and a waste transfer station.
One way to find the city’s Neerabup resource recovery precinct – masterplan, which contains the consultant’s final report, is to go to the city’s public notice of major trading undertaking business plan – Neerabup resource recovery precinct
The public notice for the major trading undertaking business plan – Neerabup resource recovery precinct was put online in September so you need to keep going a little way down the list of notices until you find it.
In Neerabup resource recovery precinct business case released, on October 16 Yanchep News Online covered some of the information available in the masterplan and has more stories to come on the proposed Neerabup resource recovery precinct.
The Have your say Neerabup resource recovery precinct page says before completing the online survey, people can attend the community drop-in information session at the Wanneroo Civic Centre between 5pm and 7pm on Thursday, November 13 to learn more and ask questions.
You can register to attend the drop-in information session on the have your say page.
On the page some people are asking questions about where the odour, air quality, groundwater and noise impact studies are, why assessments such as groundwater protection were not available alongside the business plan and where was the emergency response plan if a fire or hazardous incident occurs at the Neerabup site, given its proximity to bushland & prevailing winds.
The Have your say Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct page, which invites people to have their say on the proposal and concept plan, includes a fly-through video of some of the proposed facility, a site location and an interactive map with some detail about stage 1 of the proposal.
The city said with Wanneroo’s population projected to increase to more than 430,000 people by 2046 and Tamala Park landfill expected to reach the end of its operational life in late 2028, the new facility was an essential step towards managing waste sustainably for the growing community.
