| Type of offence or contravention | Dump industrial waste at an unlicensed site, at Hamilton between 01.07.08 and 16.12.09, contrary to s.27A(2)(a). |
| Background of offence or contravention | Norman Kenny operated a waste removal business called Norm’s Waste Disposal. In November 2009 a member of the public reported the waste had been dumped at Rowe’s Sawmill Pty Ltd on 358 Glenelg Highway, Hamilton. The landowner and sole director of Rowe’s Sawmill Pty Ltd, Edward Leonard Rowe, permitted the waste to be dumped on his property. Subsequent inspections by both the Southern Grampians Shire Council and EPA found a significant volume of building waste left on site. After failing to pay tip fees, Mr Kenny had his contract to provide and collect rubbish bins and skips from council properties terminated by the Southern Grampians Shire Council and he was denied access to the council’s refuse depots. Mr Kenny said he picked up the plaster waste from Boral, dumping an estimated two or three 1.2 cubic metre bin loads of waste plaster a week over the period of a year. |
