The Seymour Resource Recovery Centre has been recognised as one of Victoria's leading community infrastructure projects, winning the Community Assets and Infrastructure (Projects $5 Million - $20 Million and Population Over 50,000) category at the 2025 LGPro Awards for Excellence.
Opened in May 2023, the $8 million centre represents a significant step forward in Mitchell Shire Council's commitment to environmental sustainability and resource recovery. The centre has established itself as a benchmark facility for local government resource recovery centre operations with its stand-out design which has generated significant interest within the community and waste and resource recovery sector.
With a strong focus on the circular economy and design features that encourage resource recovery, the centre provides an outstanding example of how waste education can be integrated into operational facilities.
Mitchell Shire Mayor John Dougall said receiving this award was a proud moment for Council and the community.
