City takes another step towards smarter waste

The concept designs will incorporate key infrastructure, including a waste transfer station, community recycling centre and materials recovery facility.

Community engagement will form an important part of the design process, with consultation planned for late 2025.

This milestone follows Council’s endorsement of the Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct masterplan in December 2024, outlining how the City will deliver long-term, sustainable waste management solutions for Perth’s northern corridor.

Mayor Linda Aitken said she was pleased to welcome Talis Consultants on board to bring the City’s vision for the precinct to life.

“This is an exciting step towards building the facilities we need to manage waste more sustainably in the City,” she said.

“I look forward to seeing the designs and sharing it with the community.”

The new facilities will be designed to handle recyclables, organics and residual waste more efficiently, aligning with the City’s commitment to reducing landfill and reducing emissions.

The Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct remains a key priority in the City’s advocacy efforts and will help inform the development of the upcoming Waste Plan 2026–2030.
