Constituency questions
Thomastown electorate
Ms HALFPENNY
Thomastown electorate
Ms HALFPENNY (Thomastown) (12:58): (6335) My constituency question is for the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change. Residents living in the electorate of Thomastown have been subjected to unprecedented levels of illegal rubbish dumping. There is general litter in the parks and reserves, construction rubbish dumped on roadsides and vacant blocks, and household rubbish, unwanted furniture and mattresses piled up on nature strips. While this is a matter for local council, it seems they are completely overwhelmed. Can the minister provide information on what the Environment Protection Authority Victoria can do to assist and guide council to address this issue?
