Local residents have informed me that Southern Rocycling has failed to comply with the abatement notice issued by Maroondah Council.
Since the abatement notice has not been observed Maroondah Council will be seeking a hearing in the Magistrates’ Court as outlined under the Health Act of 1958.
I would like to thank everyone who contacted me with information regarding this breach of the Act and I hope that this issue will be resolved quickly.
I will advise affected residents of the details for this hearing once I receive confirmation from Maroondah Council.
Dear Cr. Makin
Thank you for advocating for us regarding this long standing issue.
I notified the previous Councillor Joe Cossari about this problem and pleaded with him to raise these issues and investigate a possible breach. Mr Cossari ignored me and several other residents and told me he didn’t see what the problem was. When I contacted you, you were empathetic to my concerns and acted promptly. I am glad you have been elected to council and are advocating for your residents in resolving this issue.
Keep up the great work
