Weekly look-ahead meetings

The EPA's dust study team commenced weekly meetings on 28 October 2019, to look at the weather conditions for the week ahead to plan pro-active site visits.

As the result of a pin being dropped on Meyer Road by a member of the public on 8 November, EPA staff visited to investigate the complaint which stated that the “Road is full of dirt which will get blown around”.

At the time of the inspection, there was only a small amount of dry residue in the gutter and ResourceCo’s street sweeper had been mobilised in accordance with EPA requirements.

This was a great opportunity for the EPA to investigate a sighting of potential dust before it became an issue, and the EPA encourages community members to continue to report perpetrators and potential sources of dust lift off.

If you witness dust coming from a specific site or location, please submit the details and send it in as soon as possible after the event.
