Newsletter 26th August
2017
Greetings All,
The saga
continues - In early August notification was received by stakeholders and the
Shire of York that a second application was to be lodged with the DWER to
obtain a works approval for a rubbish tip on Allawuna farm.
On the 21st
of August the application was advertised for a public comment period until the
7th September. The link to the application is:
The new
applicant is Alkina Holdings P/L, company details, contract for sale etc are
all contained in the above application.
The Shire of
York has been active these last eighteen months in trying to bring about zoning
changes to avoid the importation of metropolitan waste into the Shire. A full
report is available on the Shire website and will be tabled at the Council
meeting on the 28th August. The link to the report is:
The report is
in the Agenda on pages 15 to 23.
A further
application was not entirely unexpected, as the situation will never be
conclusive until the effective expiry of the planning approval.
Our
politicians are always receptive to letters from their constituents to gauge
the depth of feeling on controversial developments, the link below will give
you the contact details of the current Ministers:
If you have an
opinion, write to the DWER and/or relevant Minister and if you are able to,
attend the Shire of York council meeting at 5pm Monday 28th of
August. Darren West MP is very supportive of our stance against this
development.
Our last
appeal against the Works Approval was never determined because SITA (now SUEZ)
withdrew their application. AVRA will comment on this application and any
subsequent works approval/conditions, we too have not been standing still and
have further information to strengthen our objection to this un-necessary
development.
Among other
factors that may be in play is that SUEZ is not at all comfortable with this
new application as there could be an intellectual property rights issue
involved, the basis for which is obvious from a cursory examination of the
application. It is also noted that some important documents/sections are
missing.

Interesting newsletter.
ReplyDeleteI tried to find the Avon Valley Residents Association web site and it no longer exists.
No one has heard from them since SITA pulled out of the SAT process.
When was the Associations last meeting?
When did Avon Valley Residents Association hold their AGM?
Why didn't Beverley Hill list the missing documents in the newsletter so we can include this in our submissions?
What is the further information this group has to strengthen their objection to this un-necessary development? Is this information going to be shared with all of York or kept a secret?
Good luck trying to get AVRA (Avon Valley Residents Association)to give you any information. Robyn Davies and Kay Davies applied to become 3rd party interveners with the SITA/SUEZ saga of which went on for nearly 5 years and those Ladies did not ask for money at all. AVRA also were granted 3rd party intervener status but their intervener status was revoked.
