SMRC’s Incineration Plans Not On And Petition…
Dr Mike Nahan, the Member for Riverton and Mr Joe Francis, the Member for Jandakot said the community should be concerned at the Southern Metropolitan Regional Council’s proposal to establish a pyrolysis/gasification plant at its Canning Vale premises.
“No community consultation has been undertaken and the SMRC does not have environmental approval for this project. And yet, the SMRC has applied for $3.4m in Federal Government funding to get it underway,” said Dr Nahan.
“The SMRC has a long history of poor management. The DEC recently put six new odour emission conditions on its license to operate after years of public outcry about the stench and its impact on people’s health, wellbeing and amenity. This new proposal is just another example of the SMRC’s indifference to the local community and its corporate responsibilities.”
“The buffer zone between SMRC’s operations and nearby homes is totally inadequate and far less than other similar-styled plants,” said Mr Francis.
A petition is underway for residents to sign who are against the SMRC’s plans for Incineration. You can read more about the Petition and the SMRC’s plans for incineration in the attached Media Release by Mike Nahan and Joe Francis: SMRC’s Incineration Plans Not On
