Eastern Creek. Approval for $49m upgrade

The Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly has approved a $49 million concrete and asphalt production and recycling facility. The approval will also allow existing facilities to remain on Hanson’s Eastern Creek site for the next three years, securing 147 current jobs and will create 64 new jobs while the upgrade is being implemented. A condition is the contribution up to $1.9 million for regional road infrastructure to be made progressively as the site is redeveloped. The Minister for Western Sydney, David Borger, said the concept plan would allow Hanson to modernise its existing facility, which offers essential concrete and construction material supply and recycling at a central location.
