At its July meeting, Council granted a new lease to Future Recycling Pty Ltd to redevelop and operate the Bayside Waste and Recycling Centre.
Read about community feedback on the Bayside Waste and Recycling Centre lease.
Under the proposed lease, Future Recycling Pty Ltd will contribute $4,698,000 towards the redevelopment of the centre.
The redevelopment will include the demolition of the current office and weighbridge as well as installation of a new hardstand throughout the site, undercover drop off and sorting shed and new recycling bays for green organics, timber, steel, soil and concrete. Existing structures will be demolished and replaced with a new purpose-built facility.
The new facility will also include a repair café where members of the community can bring in items for repair and a recycle shop where recycled items can be purchased by the community.
Due to the significant capital investment in the site a 5-year rent free period is proposed to support Future Recycling’s redevelopment of the transfer station.
Rental return includes $1,105,126 plus GST for the first 10 years. Estimate (subject to market rent review) for the entire 20-year term is $10,105,126. After the initial rent-free period rental escalation is set to 5% fixed increases for each year of the term. A turnover rent of 4% above yearly estimated revenue will also be payable.
This consultation is on the lease for the waste and recycling centre only. We undertook a five-week community consultation process in March - April 2022 to understand how our community use the centre, what their experience has been, and what type of services they love or want to see added to the centre in the future. Almost 1,000 community members shared ideas and feedback on the Bayside Waste and Recycling Centre. Read about the previous engagement on the Bayside Waste and Recycling Centre.
