Question - Waste

1. Can the Minister provide an update on the progress of finding another location for the Parkwood green waste and what progress has been made on a revised development application.
2. When does the Government intend to lodge a revised development application.

(1)   A feasibility study was undertaken to identify potential future waste sites in North Canberra. The report identified 23 sites for further investigation. Five of these sites were shortlisted for detailed review and from this assessment, Block 1582 on Stockdill Drive, Belconnen, was considered the most appropriate location for a facility of this type.

(2)  Additional information in relation to traffic, bushfire, and utility management and also clarification about how the proposal is consistent with the Territory Plan has been prepared. A re-submission of the DA occurred on 9 December 2022. This will be followed by a second public notification period in early 2023.
