Notes
Project appears to be a proposed Western Sydney waste-to-energy facility (WSERRC/Project Green Waratah). The retrieved capital investment value estimate is nominal June/July 2020 AUD and includes all project establishment and construction costs, not just equipment. No separate DUID or commissioned date was found in the retrieved sources. Facility status in planning records was withdrawn, so this may not have entered operation.
