Victorian Legislative Council
Rachel asked a question on behalf of a constituent, regarding the likely increase of trucks travelling through suburban areas as a result of the proposed waste transfer station.
Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan):
My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. My constituent is a resident of Narre Warren and has been following media reports about the proposed Hampton Park waste transfer station to be operated by Veolia.
My constituent is aware that nine south-east councils have signed a deal to supply the proposed station with waste for 25 years. From reports, about half of the 500,000 tonnes of waste that will go to the transfer station will then be transported to the Maryvale waste-to-energy incinerator via trucks.
My question from my constituent is: will hundreds of trucks be travelling to the Maryvale incinerator on local roads in Hampton Park and through Narre Warren, close to the home of my constituent?
[Answer pending]
