 Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:42): (1512) My constituency question is for the Minister for Planning and relates to the planning approval process for Hampton Park waste transfer station. My constituent is a resident of Narre Warren and has been following the proposed Hampton Park waste transfer station. My constituent is aware that nine south-east councils have signed a deal to supply the proposed station with waste for 25 years. From reports about half of the 500,000 tonnes of waste that will go to the transfer station will then be transported to the Maryvale waste-to-energy incinerator via trucks. So my question is: can the minister confirm if the truck route has been developed, and if so, what are the considerations for hundreds of trucks travelling to the Maryvale incinerator on local roads in Hampton Park and through Narre Warren?
