Site for proposed Moss Vale Plastics Recycling Facility found not suitable
The NSW Independent Planning Commission has today refused the Moss Vale Plastics Recycling Facility (SSD-9409987) State significant development application, finding that the project would “unreasonably conflict with other land uses in the area” due to it being located in close proximity to nearby homes, zones that permit residential development, and other land uses including the Garvan Institute’s Australian BioResources facility.
