A merits appeal in the Land and Environment Court of NSW brought by developer, RePoly, against refusal by the NSW Independent Planning Commission of its application to build a plastics recycling facility at Moss Vale, in Sydney’s drinking water catchment.

Johnson Legal is acting for an objector and local councillor, Rachel Russell, who is concerned about the impacts of the proposal on the local community and the environment.

Ms Russell is one of four respondents to RePoly’s appeal, the other three respondents being the Independent Planning Commission, local resident Sam Wood and The Garvin Institute.

A conciliation conference was held onsite in November 2026, with a hearing expected in 2026.

Principal Lawyer, Matt Floro, is acting for Ms Russell in these proceedings. Bianca Collingwood of Counsel appeared for Ms Russell at the conciliation conference.
