On 4 June 2025, NSW Planning issued a $15,000 Penalty Notice to Dial-a-dump (EC) Pty Ltd (DADEC) for storage of waste material outside of the approved operational boundary at the Eastern Creek Recycling Ecology Park (the project). The waste material was observed by NSW Planning during an inspection of the project in March 2025.
