PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                   9 DECEMBER 2025


6.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposed amendments to the Waste and Recycling Facility approval will upgrade operations
within the existing footprint, with minor extensions, while maintaining consistency with the
Community Facilities zoning. The development introduces a modern Waste Transfer Station,
improved internal access, and enhanced recycling capacity to meet growing demand. Vegetation
impacts are limited to Category X clearing, with offsets proposed for koala habitat restoration.
The alternative solutions for aspects of the proposal such as building size, wall length, landscaping,
and parking, are considered to achieve the relevant performance and overall outcomes of the
applicable codes under the planning scheme.
The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
conditions. The proposed minor change is therefore recommended for approval.
The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
