Environment Approval quarantine waste

Print This Article

GHD was commissioned by the Mackay Port Authority in Queensland to provide consulting services for the proposed quarantine waste incinerator at Mackay Port.

The services include the initial feasibility study, site selection assessment and the development approval application (with the supporting site-based management plan).

The site-based management plan incorporated a detailed assessment of the environmental risks to air, noise, water and land, as well as outlined the measures to prevent and/or minimise the potential environmental impacts of the proposed incinerator.

GHD undertook the following project components:

  • Stage one – The initial investigation into the potential inclusion of the clinic waste from Queensland Health and other potential sources.
  • Stage two – Preparation of a concept design with budget estimates (within 10-20 percent of current costs) based on the outcome of Stage one.
  • Stage three – Development approval application under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and Environmental Protection Act 1994; and preparation of the development approval application supporting information (such as a site-based management plan for operation of the waste treatment facility).
