We are proud to acknowledge the people of the Worimi Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which this project stands.
This project is about encouraging everyone to think differently about their waste and to understand recycling and up-cycling. The project is also to inspire other councils to take a similar lead in resource recovery. We have achieved this through master planning a resource recovery centre that is user friendly for the general public and waste management companies and creating iconic elements from up-cycled materials to generate conversation and interest in the facility.
The project is additionally a community hub, with the local men’s shed, Green Bikes, the Green Shop and The Green, all offering community programs for disadvantaged groups and the broader community.
