Ai Skips Pty Ltd are proposing to expand the capacity of their existing best-practice waste transfer station at 16 Naru Street, Chinderah (Lot 1, DP1185359).

The proposal will provide more local recycling capacity for the sustainable management of building waste, helping to meet local demand for environmentally friendly alternatives to landfill.

A1 Skips intends to use the current waste transfer station more efficiently, and will result in a gradual increase in recycling over time.All waste receival and sorting will be done indoors, in accordance with the existing approval.No change in noise or air quality will occur as a result of the proposal, though there will be an increase in vehicles accessing the site. However, this will be well within the capacity of the road network.

The proposal will create four new full time operational jobs, helping to support local employment and economic growth within the region.

The proposed development will include the following key elements:

• Increase the building waste sorting capacity from 6,000 tonnes per annum to 15,000 tonnes per annum; and
• Increase the operating hours by 1 hour in the morning. That is, from 6am instead of 7am in the morning. This time will be limited to truck movements only (no unloading or sorting).

The facility will continue to accept and sort building waste materials that are then transported to appropriate processing facilities for recycling and manufacturing. Waste which cannot be recycled will be transported to landfill. Materials sorted at the facility will include:

• Garden organics skips;
• Concrete skips; and
• Building waste skips.
