Session to provide answers

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is holding a community information session this week to provide an update to residents on the Sunshine Landfill.

An EPA spokesperson said they continue to get very few odour reports.

They said they did not detect any off-site odour during their most recent inspection on July 29.

The information session will be held at the Kealba Community Centre at 24 McShane Drive on Thursday, August 29, with doors open from 5pm to 7pm.

Information will be shared on the current regulation of the site, remedial notices, and an update on court hearing dates.

EPA west metro regional manager Steve Lansdell encouraged residents to make it out if they had questions or uncertainties about the landfill site.

“Our staff will share as much information as possible,” he said.

“There may be some questions we cannot answer because of ongoing legal matters.”

Residents are urged to use the EPA’s dedicated hotline for residents to report odour.

Phone EPA’s Contact Centre on 1300 372 842, press 2 then press 4.

Previously, meetings were held with residents on a regular basis, but it was decided in March to only schedule them on a needs basis when new information had become available.
