Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is consulting with the local community about the Development Licence application for the proposed waste transfer station next to the Hallam Road landfill.
Hallam Road landfill operator Veolia Recycling and Recovery Pty Ltd has applied to EPA Victoria for a Development Licence.
The application is for a waste resource recovery facility at 290 Hallam Road, Hampton Park.
According to a spokesperson for EPA, EPA will consider all community feedback on the proposal and any submissions from other stakeholders and relevant government bodies.
“EPA also considers the impact of the activity on human health and the environment, best available techniques and technologies, whether the activity is consistent with the law and regulations, whether the applicant is a fit and proper person, and other Acts and legislative frameworks like Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988, and the Climate Change Act 2017,” they said.
EPA will hold three information sessions for the community.
Community can give feedback and get details about the sessions at Engage Victoria. Feedback is open until 11.59pm Tuesday 10 December 2024.
EPA will consider all community feedback.
A Development Licence allows for design and construction.
If Veolia builds the facility, it will also need to apply for an EPA operating licence.
EPA licences include strict conditions to prevent harm to the community and the environment.
