Cleanaway 寻求将 Ravenhall 垃圾填埋场的倾翻面从 1,800 平方米扩大到 6,000 平方米，以减少拥堵和卡车空转，认为这将改善废物压实和环境结果。 Cleanaway seeks to expand the Ravenhall landfill’s tipping face from 1,800 to 6,000 square meters to reduce congestion and truck idling, arguing it would improve waste compaction and environmental outcomes. 维多利亚州环保局拒绝了两项试点应用,称该提案是一项未经评估的扩展,有可能增加垃圾、害虫、臭臭、火灾和海鸥活动,有可能影响附近的囚犯和生态系统。 The Victorian EPA has rejected two pilot applications, calling the proposal an unassessed expansion that risks increased litter, vermin, odors, fires, and seagull activity, potentially affecting nearby inmates and ecosystems. 自2021年以来24次, 清扫者一再违反其上限, 引发了人们的担忧。 Cleanaway’s repeated breaches of its tipping limit—24 times since 2021—have fueled concerns. 现在, 争议已在维多利亚民事和行政法庭审理, 业内领导人警告说, 如果没有找到解决方案, 废物成本将会上升. The dispute is now before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, with industry leaders warning of rising waste costs if solutions aren’t found.
