In August 2004, URS Australia Pty Ltd were engaged by the Construction Division of DIPE to undertake a study on the generation and characteristics of quarantine and clinical wastes in Darwin.

The results of this study have been used to determine the size of incinerator required and tender documentation has been prepared.

A Notice of Intent has been lodged for the project as well as a development application.
