flag Rural NSW towns reject plans to import Sydney’s waste for incineration, citing health, environmental, and economic harms.

flag Regional NSW communities including Parkes and Tarago are fiercely opposing plans to transport Sydney’s waste to their towns for incineration, citing environmental, health, and economic risks. flag As of October 16, 96% of 50 public submissions opposed the proposed Parkes and Woodlawn energy-from-waste facilities, fearing pollution, harm to agriculture, and damage to property values. flag Residents argue the projects violate waste proximity principles by shipping waste over 500km and create environmental injustice by exempting rural areas from urban incineration bans. flag They stress the threat to their generational livelihoods and public trust in regional produce, especially amid record agricultural exports.
