Australia is being transformed by a vastly changing digital landscape that is redefining economies, to the Australian economy by 2028
how we live and work as well as the social fabric of our communities. Those countries and regions
with the technological infrastructure to support automation are forging ahead at the expense of
traditional practice economies. The concentration of population, employment and education
opportunities in a single capital city is contributing to a growing inequity in outcomes for regional
Western Australia. Through foundations of lifestyle and affordable living, regional Western Australia
has a unique capacity to compete when attracting talent, investment and industries where the quality 2,200 hectares of vacant land available
of life for workers is a key driver. The co-location of technology infrastructure, industries in need of to support advanced industries
transformation, and the workforce able to create new opportunities through AI and digital solutions,
will truly establish Bunbury as WA’s Second City and the first Digital City of Western Australia.

Why Bunbury and the South West?
Lifestyle and liveability, existing infrastructure and services, industry need and opportunity
Bunbury, located between Perth and the major population centres of the South West has a diverse economic base as the service centre for the region.
Bunbury offers an enviable lifestyle and a unique platform to attract and retain a future workforce to build these new and resilient industries. Bunbury’s
population is estimated at 32,000 and as a City it supports the Bunbury-Geographe wider population of 91,964. The Bunbury-Geographe region has
seen substantial population growth of 12.66 per cent in the seven years to 2018. Its role as a major hub for services, arts, culture and employment
reinforces Bunbury’s position as WA’s Second City, supporting a South West population of 178,406. Those primary industries prone to future automation
including horticulture, livestock, food production and processing, timber, forest management, mining, energy generation, port and marine, heavy rail,
road freight, coastal surveillance and oceanography are all on Bunbury’s doorstep. Through strategic regional investment, these capabilities and
industries can be unlocked by removing the infrastructure and technology barriers to future growth and prosperity through digital technologies.

Advanced heavy and light manufacturing precincts
Dedicated precincts with the technology and infrastructure capabilities to attract private industry
Manufacturing in Australia has fallen from 30% of GDP in the 1960s to under 6% today. There is a need to enable, stimulate and attract future
manufacturers in biopharma, active pharmaceutical ingredients, advanced materials, energy systems, engineering and automation
South Western Australia digital infrastructure hub

Renewable and alternate energy production and storage
The preferred location for future energy production and storage initiatives
The production and storage of energy from reliable and sustainable sources is essential to attract private industry investment. A concentration
of opportunity, innovators and energy initiatives within Bunbury will fuel future industry opportunities with reliable and affordable energy
What is next
The City of Bunbury, local industry, investors and our community are ready to go
• We are seeking State and Federal government support to deliver these foundation initiatives and drive university and private sector investment.
• The City will continue to invest heavily in building a high quality of lifestyle and liveability as a key driver when answering ‘why here’.

Why the South West Regional Waste Group
Building on existing infrastructure, strategic investments and collaboration
The increasing availability and viability of alternative waste treatment and resource recovery technologies worldwide, combined with Western Australian
State policy seeking to reduce waste to landfill constitutes an opportunity for South West local governments. Alternatives to landfill exist with the
potential of making a significant contribution to the South West economy and landfill diversion targets. To develop distance neutral infrastructure that
is linked to world opportunities, respects our environment, while being scalable to support a near doubling of population in the South West by 2030,
a regional waste solution is required. Bunbury-Harvey Regional Council (BHRC) was established in 1990 as a waste management authority to manage
the municipal waste generated by both the City of Bunbury and the Shire of Harvey. The BHRC Stanley Road transfer station operates significant waste
facilities to industry best practice, within the Kemerton strategic industrial area buffer, and environmental approvals in place to scale-up capacity. Asset
sharing and integration of resources into the Stanley Road site is underway, with the Shire of Dardanup Banksia Road Organics Processing Facility
(BROPF) being integrated. Although some small local site pods will be required across the region to minimise environmental impacts of waste transfer,
a regional centre of excellence will deliver innovation and levels of recovery, diversion and cross-stream value capture otherwise unachievable.
This investment will deliver
• Recover an additional 20% of waste within the Greater Bunbury Region and the broader South West, creating 50 permanent jobs and driving
Regional growth
• Increase regional capacity for processing construction and demolition (C&D) waste from 12,500 tonnes/yr to 75,000 tonnes/yr of higher grade
product, incorporating the Peel region
• Increase regional capacity for processing general waste from 120,000 tonnes/yr of which 75,000 tonnes/yr (63%) is recycled, to 271,000 tonnes/yr
and 217,500T/annum of recycled product (80%), increasing landfill capacity by 9-fold.
• Regional asset sharing, and a simplified, collaborative advocacy and governance point for communal waste management & policy best practice
• Sufficient scale to access and develop new markets to divert waste products into, lowering operational costs and increasing revenue and local
economic diversification
What has been done
Master planning, market sounding, consultation and environmental approvals
• Market sounding exercise identifying private investment opportunities, market entry considerations, infrastructure dependencies, environmental
requirements, economies of scale and source material requirements
• Masterplan development of the Stanley Road waste management precinct incorporating the current proposal, an innovation hub, and capacity for
future technology implementation such as waste to energy and pyrolytic destructive distillation processing of tyres
• Broad consultation with local governments, agencies and organisations across the South West including Noongar Chamber of Commerce and
Industry, Regional Development Australia, Main Roads WA, Deptartment of Water and Environment Regulation, and the South West Development
Commission
• Environmental approvals for additional lined cell installation for unavoidable waste requiring landfill
What’s next?
We are ready to go!
• With the provisioning of funding, the BHRC will undertake construction level design and tendering for the construction of the material recovery
facility and construct the state-of-the-art new lined cells at teh Stanley Road facility
• Progress a shared 5-year plan for regional waste education, develop new markets for new waste resources, and create a shared governance model
for communal waste assets & policy across the South WestYou can also read
