BCRG community meeting notes Nov 16

BCRG community meeting SNAPSHOT

Hi <<First Name>>

1) ASX Release 31 January, 2017

SALE OF TWO CLOSED LANDFILL SITES IN MELBOURNE
Cleanaway Waste Management Ltd (ASX:CWY) has today entered into contracts of sale for two closed landfill sites located in Brooklyn, Melbourne to Pelligra Group, an experienced developer of industrial and contaminated sites.

Under the terms of the sale, Pelligra Group will assume responsibility for all remediation and ongoing monitoring works at both sites including undertaking all capping work in accordance with Victorian EPA requirements. Cleanaway retains certain rights in relation to the sites following the sale including a right to oversee conduct of the remediation work and some limited step in rights.

Completion of the sale of the sites and transfer of the respective EPA licences is expected to occur around 2nd March 2017.

These transactions are forecast to generate a pre-tax profit on sale of approximately $20 to $22 million. The forecast profit results from the release of the rectification and remediation provisions less the book value of site assets which will transfer to the buyer on completion. This profit is expected to be disclosed as an underlying adjustment in the Company’s FY17 results.

Based upon forecasts, the sales of these closed landfills will reduce spending on landfill rectification and remediation by approximately $20 million over the next six years.

3) Melbourne CBD street lamps turned into air monitors

Please note: this trial is not happening in Brooklyn but it is very interesting.

Street lamps could one day become Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) air monitoring stations – that’s the vision of a trial currently underway in Melbourne.

The joint trial between EPA and CitiPower has seen air quality sensors placed atop street lamps on the Queen Street Bridge, providing a glimpse into the future of air monitoring. Read more

4) Next BCRG forum, March 8 - change to format and time

The next BCRG meeting will be held in ‘open house’ format at the earlier time of 4-7pm on 8 March at the Brooklyn Community Hall in Cypress Avenue.

We hope to attract a broader range of community attendees, who will be able to speak one-on-one with representatives from EPA, state government, Councils, and industry about their efforts to improve Brooklyn’s air quality.

There will also be a BCRG booth at the event – we would love you to stop by and tell us what you think about our normal BCRG format, and how it might be improved in the future.

All are welcome; please publicise this opportunity broadly within your networks….. and please let us know if your group or organisation would like to run a booth (stand) on the day.
