Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct

Public questions focused on the planning, environmental approvals, expenditure and legal basis for Stage 1 of the Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct at Lot 600, Wattle Avenue, Neerabup. Administration maintained that the Waste Transfer Station and Community Recycling Centre are public works and that Stage 1 does not include waste-to-energy. Current committed expenditure was reported as $2,355,034.92, with $574,482.62 outstanding; projected total expenditure is subject to the Long Term Financial Management Plan and was reported as $46.5 million.

The project remains a major potential ratepayer expenditure and planning issue, with outstanding State approvals and continuing community concern about land use, costs and governance.
