The Proposal
Southern Waste Solutions is proposing to change the use of the Lutana Waste Transfer Station to allow for resource recovery works on up to 90,000 tonnes of waste per year on the existing site. The recovery works would operate in parallel with the existing waste transfer station. Waste will be separated and processed into product streams for reuse where possible.
The proponent has lodged a Permit Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to Glenorchy City Council.
The application was referred to the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) for assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).
