“Specialist services and practical solutions”



       environmental stewardship and fostering a cleaner and more resource efficient community
       within the region.

       The existing facility provides landfill cells, a resource recovery operational area, including green
       waste mulching, customer interface and waste transfer station and weighbridge bridge and a
       resource recoverables area. The site also contains the Cleanaway Depot to the northwest and
       the “Reviva” recycling shop. The proposed composting facility will be located within the central
       operational area (refer Figure 1B).

       The land does not adjoin and is well removed from nearby rural residential properties to the
       west and southwest. The access and egress to and from Eumundi Noosa Road will remain
       unchanged (refer Figure 1A).
