The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly that since 2015, residents of certain Tuggeranong suburbs have been intermittently affected by the odour emanating from the Mugga Lane Resource Management facility.
We, the undersigned residents of the ACT, draw the attention of the Assembly to this recurring issue that has plagued our community for many years. Recently, the situation has become unbearable, especially when we open our windows or when it rains. This persistent stench has significantly diminished our quality of life. It is imperative that these issues be addressed urgently due to their severe impact on our daily lives. It's impacting on our health and wealth.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to thoroughly investigate this issue and take appropriate action in response to our complaints. We seek effective and immediate solutions to mitigate the adverse effects of the odour from the Mugga Lane Resource Management facility on our community. Additionally, when works or changes take place at the facility which may have any impact at all on odour, residents in nearby suburbs should be advised ahead of time about the works, why required, how long any impact might persist, and avenues for them to complain.
