Eastern Creek. $37 million waste facility

The former 120-hectare Pioneer quarry, at Archbold Road, Eastern Creek, is to become a $37 million waste-recovery facility and tip, creating about 100 jobs. The Planning Department has approved the Light Horse Business Centre's development plan and will place it on public display early next year. When completed, the facility will process two million tonnes of building, demolition and green waste each year and will have room for up to 11 million cubic metres of non-putrescible landfill.
