 Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) presented a petition bearing 2518 signatures:

Issue:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the closure of the Over-the-Counter Container Deposit Scheme depot by Visy at Little Yarra Free Range Eggs in Launching Place. The petitioners are passionate about the program being returned to Little Yarra Free Range Eggs in Launching Place. The depot was easily accessible, minimised disruption to nearby businesses and residents, offered safe access for collection trucks, kept the town clean and benefited community clubs and organisations with fundraising efforts.

Action:

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly provide Return-It Vic (Network Operator for the East Zone) with an exemption to operate outside of their network zone to manage the CDS depot at Yarra Free Range Eggs.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
