Automated waste collection at the heart of Maroochydore’s new CBD
A 53 HECTARE greenfield site in Maroochydore on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast is being transformed into a Central Business District for the 21st century, with smart technology being employed to create a clean, green, dynamic city. In an Australian first, the development will include a high-tech, automated vacuum waste collection system to collect and transport waste.
Replacing traditional wheelie bins, the system will transport waste from commercial buildings and apartments at up to 70kmh through a 6.5km system of underground vacuum pipes located beneath the city centre to a central waste collection station. The system will collect three waste streams including general, organic and recyclable waste.
