D-day for glass plant - inMyCommunity - Perth, Western Australia

D-day for glass plant - inMyCommunity - Perth, Western Australia: "The City’s report on other Colmax plants found the Dandenong plant was issued with a $5841 fine in May from the Victorian Environmental Protection Agency for breaching a requirement to manage odour on its site.

Mr Harkins said the company was fighting the fine and the complaint came from “unreasonable” neighbours.

The report also said dust was an issue at the Dandenong recycling plant, having a “significant” impact on surrounding buildings and vehicles, being sucked into machinery and being inhaled by employees and nearby residents and workers.

Mr Harkins said the Queensland and New South Wales plants had received no complaints about noise, dust or odour."
