Plans for the Ipswich ‘super dump’ have been slammed by Bundamba MP Jo-Ann Miller as it is “too close to houses” being located seven kilometres from Ipswich CBD and a three minute drive to surrounding residential areas.
Ipswich Residents Against Toxic Environments president Jim Dodrill says the construction and demolition waste facility would be among the largest dumps in Australia.
The landfill would take 15.7 million cubic metres of waste over eighteen years, which is enough to fill 6280 olympic swimming pools.
