Construction set to begin on Wangara Waste Transfer Station
Published Monday, 1st September 2025
Wanneroo Council has appointed Byte Construct to build a new Waste Transfer Station in Wangara, marking another step in the City’s journey towards smarter and more sustainable waste management.
The facility will receive household waste and consolidate it into larger loads for transport to recycling or disposal sites, helping to reduce truck movements on local roads and cut greenhouse emissions.
Mayor Linda Aitken said the project reflects the City’s long-term commitment to improving waste services.
“This is the start of a smarter way to manage waste across our City,” Mayor Aitken said.
“The Wangara Waste Transfer Station will make our system more efficient now, while laying the groundwork for the next wave of facilities that support recycling and recovery.”
Council approved the project in December, alongside the Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct masterplan, as part of the solution to manage household waste more effectively as the Tamala Park landfill site nears capacity.
The Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct will include a community recycling centre, a materials recovery facility and other infrastructure to deliver better waste services into the future.
Construction of the Wangara Waste Transfer Station is expected to begin in September 2025.
