Mount Coot-tha residents are taking action against the Brisbane City Council-operated Mount Coot-tha Quarry following complaints of cracking concrete, inaccurate monitoring and a silica dust storm.
Chairman of the Mount Coot-tha Local Residents action group, Phil Best, says he has experienced blasts which have shaken his house for thirty seconds and is concerned by the potential impact to property foundations.
Greens MP Michael Berkman, whose Maiwar electorate includes Mount Coot-tha, is calling on Environment and Science Minister Leanne Enoch to direct her department to investigate the residents’ concerns over the quarry.
