The CEO,


Adelaide Plains Council


 


Dear James,


ASBESTOS DUMPING AT LOT 4 CARSLAKE ROAD


 


Ratepayers have made us aware of a number of problems associated with waste building material containing asbestos deposited on land being used as a borrow pit by the Adelaide Plains Council.


This information raises a number concerns on behalf of ratepayers so the following questions are ones that have been raised at our recent Ratepayers Association meeting:.


 


1.      What action has been taken to contain the asbestos?


2.      What is the potential impact on the general public, including neighbouring properties and the travelling public, as well as those attending the livestock markets?


3.      What are the financial implications for the APC and therefore ratepayers including those on adjoining properties?


4.      What procedures have been in place for staff to recognise and manage such events.


5.      What are the potential clean-up costs and loss of production during that period?


6.      Who authorised the receival of building waste containing asbestos on lot 4 Carslake Road and what responsibility does that person bare?


7.      How many workers were exposed to the asbestos both at the transfer station and at Carslake Road?


8.      Is Council aware of any litigation currently or potential litigation in the near future?


9.      Has the property owner of lot 4 Carslake Road been made aware of the contamination of his property and the potential issues arising from that contamination?


10.   Has the company who delivered the materials containing asbestos been made aware of the situation and, has he responded.


 


As we are seeking legal advice on this matter we require a reply within 14 days of receival of this letter.


 


Ratepayers are no longer prepared to accept the continual bad decisions and lack of responsibility shown by council staff.    These outcomes highlight the incompetence of middle management and the inability of the CEO to administer responsibility for these continual unsatisfactory outcomes created by Managers and Staff.   


Ratepayer’s money is being wasted and Council is being put at risk of serious litigation putting further ratepayer’s funds at risk.


You are spending ratepayer’s money therefore your decisions should be made with the utmost care.


 


 


Regards,


 


John Lush,


President,
