The facility will be situated on the northern part of the old Sevalco site in Chittening, which was previously used to produce carbon black.
The site is close to the Seabanks gas fired power station and is part of a heavily industrialised area.
Factors such as environmental impact, neighbouring land use and existing infrastructure were key in the decision to select this site for the proposed Resource Recovery Centre.
The nearest residential property is over 1km away.
