Number 1 change should be no hazardous waste to be accepted. THis guy has revealed he has no regard for environmental issues or the law. He has already been prosecuted for illegal dumping of asbestos and other contaminents. Why would the NSW government believe he will do the 'right' thing in Minchinbury. This will wreck our lifestyle and our homes. THe NSW Parliament house is currently holding an art exhibition of widows of asbestos related diseases. THese ladies lost loved ones due to asbestos fibres, and this id - - t wants to put an asbestos tip less than 500m from our homes!! no thanks NOT IN OUR BACKYARDS Hopefully there will be many changes to this DA before the NSW government allow this to go ahead.
