The location of the future Western Resource Recovery Centre has not been decided.

We asked for your input into the site selection process via a submission form during August 2023.

The form had four parts:

  • Part A. Suggest additional site selection criteria used to identify a pool of potential sites (in addition to the 6 necessary criteria that a potential site must meet to be considered a viable location for this type of infrastructure).
  • Part B. Suggest potential site locations within the Western region that meet the 6 necessary site selection criteria.
  • Part C. Provide input into how the 4 site ranking criteria used to identify a preferred site are 'weighted' (i.e. ordered in terms of importance).
  • Part D. Provide your name, email, phone number and suburb so council can provide feedback on how community submissions informed the site selection process.

Submissions received from community will now be reviewed.

Thank you for your input into the criteria used to identify and rank site locations and location suggestions for consideration.
