2.           Development Application - 11235/2022/MAOC - Recommendation - Remondis Australia Pty Ltd Change Application for Compost Manufacturing Enclosed at Swanbank

This is a report concerning a change request to development application number CA/194/98, being over the current Remondis waste facility. 

This application originally permitted the rezoning of land situated at Blackheath Road, Swanbank and described as Lots 101 and 102 on Registered Plan 839072 and Lot 3 on Registered Plan 214256 from Special Facilities (Future Waste Treatment and Disposal) Zone and the Special Uses Zone to the Special Facilities (Waste Processing, Treatment and Disposal) Zone.  In addition to landfill, the original approval also permitted a Waste Processing, Treatment and Disposal facility over the site

The application seeks to alter the existing approval on Lot 101 to remove the approved landfill operations on the part of the site and instead construct an enclosed compost manufacturing facility along with associated waste processing and treatment area in the southwest portion of the lot.

In order to achieve this, the change request seeks amendments to part of the approved development as it relates to a portion of the overall site (Lot 101 on RP839072).  To facilitate this, a change to the approved plans for the development is proposed as well as and amendments to multiple conditions of approval. 

Having been thoroughly considered, the ‘other’ change request is recommended to be approved.

DECISION

Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:

Seconded by Councillor Sheila Ireland:

That Council resolve to approve development application no. 11235/2022/MAOC subject to conditions and attachments.

4.           Southern Recycling and Refuse Centre and Animal Management Facility Location

This report recommends that Council endorse the location at 831 Redbank Plains Rd, Redbank Plains as the preferred location for a new recycling and refuse centre and new animal management facility.

With these facilities having long life expectancies and are large investments for Council, utilising the most sensible, practical, and cost-effective location is by far the most advantageous outcome for the city and its residents.

There is budget allocation in the Long-term Financial Forecast to deliver the program of work.

Seconded by Councillor Marnie Doyle:

That Council endorse the site at 831 Redbank Plains Rd, Redbank Plains as the preferred location for the new southern refuse and recycling and a new animal management facility.

Councillor Paul Tully proposed a variation to the motion:

 

That the word ‘endorse’ be replaced with the word ‘approve’.

 

The mover and seconder of the original motion agreed to the proposed variation.

 

RECOMMENDATION

Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:

Seconded by Councillor Marnie Doyle:

That Council approve the site at 831 Redbank Plains Rd, Redbank Plains as the preferred location for the new southern refuse and recycling and a new animal management facility.
