1. Response to Notice of Motion - Southern Resource Recovery Centre ancillary services
Resolution: Moved by Councillor Pye Augustine:
1. Response to Notice of Motion - Southern Resource Recovery Centre ancillary services
This is a report concerning a response to a Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Jim Madden at the Environment and Sustainability Committee held on 13 August 2024 requesting:
That Council Officers prepare a report relating to costings and a review as to the possibility of the following facilities at the proposed Southern Resource Recovery Centre (SRRC):
· Tip Shop – where items that would otherwise go to landfill could be sold.
· Tool Library - where residents can loan tools for use instead of buying cheap tools and disposing of them in landfill.
· Toy Library - where residents can loan children’s educational toys & play equipment.
· Repair Centre or Repair Cafe - where residents can take items to learn how to repair and reuse these items.
· And any other relevant issues.
Attached to this report is a detailed assessment paper prepared to answer the above question and provide guidance.
In summary the tip shop as already planned is the most consistent site usage in relation to associated waste activities. The Tool Library, Toy Library and Repair Café, whilst strongly supported in principle as sound circular economy practises are not best suited for co-location at the SRRC for a range of risk, traffic management and suitability reasons, and these should be explored and supported at other Council locations such as Community Centres.
Noting that there is still significant time before final site designs are completed for the SRRC.
