2) Rolling Action List
The updated BCRG rolling list of actions that have been identified during the community forums is now available on the Brooklynip website. Click here.
3) Victorian Container Management Update
13/08/14 After much consideration, VCM has decided not to renew the lease at 433A Somerville Road Tottenham which finishes in February 2016. It is our intention to vacate the site at that time, if not before. The EPA will be issuing a new Pollution Abatement Notice for the site.
VCM has spent over $2,470,000.00 at both the VCM site and Container Logistics site on planning, staff, equipment and site sealing to assist with the dust issue in Brooklyn. VCM will still strive to reduce all dust emissions by continuing the current maintenance routine and making improvements where possible.

4) Transpacific Planting Day
  Transpacific wishes to thank the wonderful volunteers who lent us their green thumbs on Sunday 17 August 2014 to remediate the western side of the Kororoit Creek, adjacent to the former landfill at Transpacific’s Old Geelong Road site. Over 260 trees were planted by eighteen people within two hours under sunny blue skies.
The trial planting exercise was hosted by Transpacific in partnership with Melbourne Water to assess and refine a progressive planting program along the remainder of the embankment in 2015.
Special thanks to Geoff Mitchelmore for mustering his many Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek. Also, thanks to Bert Boere, Bruce Light, Joe Coleiro from Cargill, residents and Friends of Kororoit Creek for their participation and tremendous support for the project.
