(3) The remediation is scheduled for completion by 31 December 2011 with the majority of funds spent or accrued by January 2012. Further rehabilitation work in preparation for subsequent use of the site will take place before June 2012 and the remaining funds will be spent by that date.
(4) Once the site has been rehabilitated, it is likely to be reallocated to meet the need for building waste recycling. A competitive process will be conducted, and stringent conditions will be applied to the successful business.
(5) Five of the 54 tenants at the Parkwood Road Recycling Estate are behind in their rental payments. No tenants at the Parkwood Road Recycling Estate currently have licenses that require materials to be processed at an expected rate. Material processing rates are proposed to be included in new licenses when they come up for renewal from 2012 onwards.
