Hume City Council notes the Victorian Government's announcement about provisional approvals for waste-to-energy facilities, including a proposal located between Bulla and Sunbury.
Council was not briefed on the details of this proposal in advance and is disappointed not to have had the opportunity for earlier engagement, particularly given the strong community interest in this matter.
This is a Victorian Government decision and still requires further state approvals. As part of that process, Council expects the proposal will be formally referred to us for comment.
When this occurs, Council will review the proposal in detail taking into account community concerns, suggesting possible planning conditions and continue to advocate for the best outcomes for our community.
