DAREBIN: Strong odours from Visy’s Reservoir plant
There are strong odours from Visy’s Reservoir factory, Preston MLA Nathan Lambert has told State Parliament.
“I would like to raise an issue related to the Visy recycling plant on Edwardes St in Reservoir,” Mr Lambert told the Legislative Assembly.
“That plant has been there for many decades, but over the past five years it has been emitting some very strong odours – so strong that some residents have been unable to go outside or even open their windows.
“We are very grateful to the EPA for their work over several years now to rectify that issue, and we are particularly grateful to the Minister for Climate Action, who strengthened the powers of the EPA during her time in the environment portfolio, which has thus allowed the EPA to make better outcomes for residents a condition of the plant’s new operating licence,” Mr Lambert said.
