Who is Assessing and Determining the Proposal Application?

The development was assessed as State Significant Development (SSD) due to its proposed land use (waste management facility) and investment size. 

SSDs are assessed by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing & Infrastructure (DPHI) and in the case of the Plasrefine proposal will be determined by the Independent Planning Commission (IPC) due to the number of objections, including Council’s strong opposition and representations.
