G’Day Jennifer,
Maroochy Shire Council on the Sunshine Coast is attempting to build a mega garbage dump in a beautiful fertile valley just 500 metres from homes.
This dump is a Bioreactor, like the two at Ipswich west of Brisbane. Our committee members have visited both of these dumps and you can smell the stench for 3km on a good day and 6km on a bad day.
Maroochy Shire Council’s proposed dump is within 3km of two hospitals, two schools and thousands of homes.
It is also 2km from the Maroochy River, overseas the recommended minimum is 10km from rivers.
Please visit our website http://www.bioreactor.org.au.
Regards,
John Mason
