Thank you for all your comments and contributions. The project has now gone through the Development Application phase.

Central Coast Council has commenced investigations at the Woy Woy Waste Management Facility to move the current filling area to an existing excavated location already on-site, at the southern end.

Woy Woy Waste Management Facility has operated since 1974 and is the main solid waste management facility for the southern Central Coast community. The community currently adds around 85,000 tonnes of waste to the landfill each year. The current tipping area is expected to be full by mid to late 2024.

Establishing a new tipping area on-site will reduce the need for costly alternatives such as transporting domestic waste to another waste management facility or excavating and building a new waste management cell elsewhere.

The new proposed tipping area will require some further earthworks and the construction of a fully engineered landfill liner and water management system before it’s ready to be utilised. The development in this area (referred to as the ‘South Cell’) will be subject to approvals from the Hunter Central Coast Regional Planning Panel and the NSW Environment Protection Authority.

Council invited the community to share their feedback until Thursday 16 November 2023 via:

• Online: Feedback form (now closed)
• Email: ask@centralcoast.nsw.gov.au
• Mail to: PO Box 20, Wyong NSW 2259 addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, Mr David Farmer
