We, the undersigned, welcome the City of Greater Geelong’s ongoing advocacy on behalf of the community against the proposal to build a waste to energy facility in the Geelong Ring Road Employment Precinct (GREP).

We urge the Council to support the proposed Planning Scheme Overlay to ensure this proposal and any future waste to energy facility cannot be located within GREP.

This will protect the strategic employment nature of GREP and ensure that no additional sensitive land uses are permitted within it and ensure the precinct can fulfil its intended strategic planning purpose for the benefit of the Greater Geelong community and economy.
