THE state government’s Core Consultative Committee on Waste has announced eight preferred treatment precincts for hazardous and industrial waste. Co-chaired by Chamber of Commerce and Industry environmental policy adviser Mary Askey and Contaminated Sites Alliance spokesman, Greenpeace adviser and Murdoch University lecturer Lee Bell, the committee will now engage in a three-and-half-month process of community consultation, including 15 meetings in nine regional centres.
