A new green waste processing facility has been proposed for West Ballina.
A new development application has been launched with Ballina Shire Council by Teven Park Pty Limited for a mulch storage area at Teven Road in West Ballina.
The land contains a registered site area of 4.28 hectares and is currently vacant.
The project will involve the storage of approximately 35,000 tonnes of mulch per year.
Documents received by council explained that mulch will be received from Lismore and Ballina waste transfer stations, and will be free of contaminants.
The mulch will be transported to an adjoining site for processing by Go Grow, a company established nearby that supplies potting mix and landscape supplies.

Ballina Shire Council will be laying asphalt pavement to the westbound lane between Quays Drive and Burns Point Ferry Road, West Ballina, on Monday April 12, weather dependent.
The works are part of the River Street Duplication project.
The water-filled barriers currently in place will be removed from 6am Monday, before the peak traffic period
Traffic control will be in place during these works.
At times, traffic control will detour light vehicles via Quays Drive, Kalinga Street and Burns Point Ferry Road.
Heavy vehicles will be stopped for a minimal amount of time before the Quays Drive roundabout, when the asphalt truck requires full access to the westbound lane.
