We have received this news from the EPA Victoria

1) Rendering company ordered to pay $200,000 to the environment

Media Release, 22/12/2015

A Brooklyn meat rendering company that caused a ‘rotting carcass’ smell to impact on nearby residents to the point where they were too embarrassed to invite visitors over has been convicted on all charges and ordered to pay $200,000 to Hobsons Bay City Council to fund a community environmental project.

Australian Tallow Producers Pty Ltd (ATP) was convicted in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court yesterday following an EPA investigation that led to the company being charged with three counts of air pollution offences.

The company was found to be in contravention of the Environment Protection Act 1970 after it polluted the atmosphere by allowing odours offensive to humans on three separate occasions in June 2011 and September 2011.

2) Reminder - draft BCRG community meeting notes review due Jan 8.

The draft BCRG community meeting notes and associated attachments are ready for review.

At the November forum it was decided that the meeting notes would remain in draft form for 3 weeks to allow time for comments and then would be finalised. Given that it is holiday season season, we allowed a little bit longer, so please provide any comments to:

Andrea at eo.bcrg@gmail.com or PO Box 8001 Rippleside, Vic 3215 by COB Friday January 8, 2016.

The draft meeting notes are available from the Brooklynip website  click here
