Update on the move to Gillman

The EPA has been conducting weekly inspections of the Old Red Brick Company’s Beverley site as it removes stockpiles of construction and demolition waste.

Most of the inert waste from the unlicensed part of the site has been removed and taken to the company’s new location at Gillman, where it has been undergoing remediation as part of its site remediation plan.

Small amounts of potential asbestos-containing material have been collected during the remediation process and disposed of at an EPA-licensed site. The EPA has continued to require Old Red Brick Co to undertake air quality monitoring for asbestos and these are publicly available on its website.

The stockpile of processed material has been removed and used as fill for vehicle parking areas at the Gillman site. The inert waste on the licensed site is yet to be moved but this is scheduled to be completed by 30 June 2022.

EPA officers have been liaising with Old Red Brick Co’s environmental consultants at the site to confirm the requirements of the remediation plan are being met. Any inconsistencies have been rectified as part of the EPA’s inspections.

The company has received development approval for the Gillman site from the City of Port Adelaide Enfield and has submitted an application for an EPA licence.
