The NSW EPA has developed a draft general Resource Recovery Order and Exemption to provide a clear, consistent guide that supports the safe and beneficial reuse of acid sulfate soil across NSW. This aims to streamline approvals, protect the environment, and respond to increasing reuse demand.

We are consulting with the community and stakeholders before finalising the general Resource Recovery Order and Exemption. Your views on the conditions proposed in the Order and Exemption are highly valued and will guide the finalisation and implementation of the Order and Exemption.

Public consultation on the draft Acid Sulfate Soil Resource Recovery Order and Exemption is now closed.
