Many Sunbury residents will know by now that the Victorian government is looking to nod-through a waste to energy power plant in Sunbury Rd, Bulla – at the HiQ ‘Eco-Hub’.

If built this plant will burn up to 750,000 tonnes of rubbish every year. It will create up to 800 truck movements a day, to and from the site, and a 60m chimney will be built within sight of two new housing estates.

Government says these types of plants are safe. But are they?

Jane Bremmer is the chair of Toxics Free Australia and she has detailed knowledge of technology of waste to energy plants.
