Funded project – Hazardous liquid waste processing plant upgrade
Replacement and upgrade of the existing liquid waste processing plant in Brooklyn, Victoria, with a more efficient, modern and automated plant.
Background
Veolia will replace and upgrade their existing liquid waste plant in Brooklyn with a more efficient, modern and automated plant. It is estimated that the new plant will increase the system capacity by at least 20%.
The commissioning of the new plant will allow the decommissioning and demolition of the old plant and the use of that space to install extra hazardous waste receival and treatment capacities, enabling treatment of other types of hazardous wastes and increasing recovery and landfill diversion rates in Victoria.
Objectives
- Increase the recovery and local reprocessing of hazardous waste, and to manage this material in line with the waste hierarchy.
- Increase the use and quality of recycled materials for remanufacturing and to make new products.
- Increase economic development opportunities such as jobs, economic performance and growth of hubs.
