Want a beautiful drive to work?

Or would you rather be protected from industrial pollution?

Kwinana Council want to spend $5 million beautifying the Kwinana Industrial Area.

Just think what $5 million could do for those Kwinana Residents affected by industrial pollution. Some of the things I can think of are:

1. A health study to find out why Kwinana has a “17.9% higher cancer rate Perth on average” and a 15.3% higher cancer rate than Australia by average”.

2. Fund the DEC in Kwinana so they can effectively regulate pollution from Kwinana Industry and maybe even enforce the noise regulations.

3. Fund noise protection measures, such as roller shutters, double glazing and wall insulation for residents affected by illegal levels of noise from Kwinana Industry (we have previously requested this by writing to Mark McGowan, Fran Logan and David Templeman but our letters were ignored).

4. Fund noise mitigation in the Kwinana Industrial Area.

And I could go on and on… But no dear readers our council obviously believe that if they make Kwinana Industry look beautiful there will no longer be a problem.

So the pollution problems must be a figment of our imaginations!

And I thought I had seen and heard it all.

It just doesn’t get any better does it.

Shame on our local and state Governments. Shame!
