Property developer Pelligra has formally joined the Brooklyn Recycling Group (BRG) under Victoria’s first statutory Better Environment Plan (BEP).
As a major landholder within the industrial precinct, Pelligra will work alongside Delta Group, ResourceCo, EcoGypsum & Fertiliser (Sunshine Groupe), and City Circle Group as contributors to Brooklyn’s future redevelopment.
According to BRG, the BEP, authorised by the Environment Protection Authority in July 2024, provides an adaptive framework that enables businesses of varying sizes and operations to work collectively toward cleaner air, improved local amenity and stronger collaboration between industry, community and government.
BRG foundation member Christon Buxton, of EcoGypsum & Fertiliser, said Pelligra’s involvement strengthens the shared vision for the precinct.
“Our goal has always been to work progressively with industry, community and regulators to achieve better outcomes for everyone. Having Pelligra formally join the BEP strengthens our collective capacity and reinforces that this is a long-term commitment”, Mr Buxton said.
The BEP, now in its second year, is a three-year statutory agreement designed to drive higher standards of environmental performance.
In year two of the program, participants are advancing a coordinated precinct-wide monitoring and response system, expanding vegetation plantings to establish natural windbreaks, advocating for improved road conditions, enhancing workforce capability in dust and health management, and strengthening stakeholder engagement and education, according to BRG.
BRG said dust management remains a central priority.
