Community divided over $1.5bn waste-to-energy incinerator proposal

The facility aims to process 760,000 tonnes of waste annually, potentially diverting 12 percent of Queensland's waste from landfill. While supporters highlight job creation, opponents raise health and environmental concerns, fearing pollution and questioning the wisdom of accepting Sydney's waste issues in regional areas.
