Current council decisions
May 2010
At its 20 May 2010 Council meeting, the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council made a number of decisions regarding the planned resource recovery facility (RRF). Council resolved:
-
Red Hill Waste Management Facility is the preferred site for the RRF.
-
The Design & Construct contract ownership model is preferred to a Build Own Operate contract model at this stage of the project.
-
The RRF technology options include anaerobic digestion, gasification, pyrolysis and combustion. Plasma technology will only be considered if it is an integral part of one of these technologies.
-
A third bin for household organic waste collection be considered in conjunction with anaerobic digestion technology, otherwise a two bin system is recommended for the thermal technology options.
- Council proceeds with the environmental and planning approvals task for the Resource Recovery Project based on the preferred site and technology options.
