Terms of Reference:

Petitions tabled in the Legislative Council stand referred to the Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs (Committee) under the Committee's terms of reference. The Committee assigns a number to each petition upon receipt.

Petition No 59 was tabled on 26 June 2007 and was couched in the following terms:

To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled.

We the undersigned residents of Western Australia are opposed to the continued operation of the Regional Resource Recovery Centre’s Waste Composting Facility in Canning Vale. This facility creates a noxious odour, affecting the health and lifestyle of the residents in surrounding suburbs.

Your petitioners therefore respectfully request the Legislative Council to support residents and others affected by this Waste Composting Facility and recommend to the Government that the South Metropolitan Regional Council relocate the facility away from any residential area.

The Committee resolved to conduct a stand alone inquiry into this petition and to focus that inquiry specifically into the odour emanating from the Regional Resource Recovery Facility.
