Worldwide Metal Scrap wants to set up a waste metal transfer station at 17 Lucca Rd, Wyong, to receive up to 25,000 tonnes of scrap metal per year.
The site is located within an industrial precinct which has progressively been developed throughout the years since the 1970s.
The project will involve construction of a hardstand area, driveway and carpark, loading zone and portable weighbridge.
Scrap metal will generally be brought into the yard by truck, light passenger vehicles or in bins with expected daily traffic to be 13 rigid trucks over 4.5 tonnes, three semi-trailers, up to 22 light vehicles and six staff vehicles.
The transfer station will operate weekdays from 7.30am-5pm and Saturdays 7.30am-2pm with a staff of five to 10.
Benefits of the project are to increase scrap metal recycling, minimise waste in landfill tips and illegal dumping of waste metal.
Public feedback on the project (DA/683/2024) is open until July 1 on Central Coast Council’s website.
