The Advanced Resource Recovery Centre, or ARRC, is transforming how the Gold Coast manages its waste and turns it into value.
Owned by the City of Gold Coast, ARRC is set to become one of the world’s first planned waste and energy precincts – providing Gold Coast residents a new value-for-money and environmentally responsible way to manage our region’s waste. It will also divert up to 97% of the waste currently sent to landfill.
Progressively rolling out during the next six years, our initial focus is three integrated but distinct facilities – ARRC Organics, ARRC Recycling,and ARRC Energy. The three facilities will process the waste from your green, yellow and red bins respectively. In fact, ARRC Organics is already doing just that.
ARRC is also developing a circular economy innovation park (ARRC Innovation) and community hub (ARRC Hub) as well as looking at opportunities to decarbonise the City’s vehicles through ARRC Hydrogen.
Creating jobs for more than 2,000 people during construction and 350 people during operation, ARRC is being designed from the ground up to achieve the very best circular economy outcomes for our region.
