NOTICE OF MOTION:
Mr Speaker,
I move that this house notes:
the historic toxic contamination of the Rhodes Peninsula
community concerns about the potential public health impacts of the
proposed development of more than 3000 residences on the sites
promises made in March this year by state agencies including EPA and Health,
to convene a local community reference group to oversee remediation, and the
failure of the Carr Government to implement this promised protective
measure
resident fears that the Carr Government is keeping technical details of
contamination excavation plans and processes secret
demands the Minister for the Environment stand up for residents and the
environment, and implement transparent and accountable environmental
processes to protect residents in Canada Bay and adjacent areas.
