GREATER DANDENONG: Stink over odours at Springvale
Cr Sean O’Reilly (pictured) authored a report to Greater Dandenong Council in which he highlighted the growing issue of cleanliness and odour problems in the Springvale Activity Centre, particularly around Springvale Market.
Cr O’Reilly said he wanted to address the concerns raised by residents and traders by developing a structured approach to mitigate these issues.
“Ongoing cleanliness and odour issues have significantly impacted local businesses, residents, and visitors, leading to financial losses, potential health hazards, and a decline in the area’s overall quality of life,” Cr O’Reilly said.
“Springvale Market, which is Greater Dandenong’s busiest activity centre, is central to this issue. Both residents and traders have expressed concerns about the persistent odour and cleanliness problems.
“By preparing this report, the Council demonstrates its commitment to resolving these problems through a structured and informed approach, ensuring the well-being of the community and the sustainability of local businesses.”
He suggested that Council officers prepare a comprehensive report detailing the costs and
strategies necessary to enhance cleanliness and assist odour mitigation within the Springvale Activity Centre, encompassing Springvale Market.
