Kaniva Chemical Waste Dump Site

Victorian Parliament - 6 February, 2020 - 

TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF VICTORIA

The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the Labor Government’s inaction on the toxic waste dump near Kaniva.

Fifty million litres of deadly toxic waste has been illegally buried on a farm near Kaniva, posing an enormous threat to the underground water supply, crop contamination and the health of local residents.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly of Victoria ensure the Andrews Labor Government takes urgent action and directs the EPA to clean up Victoria’s largest illegal toxic chemic waste dump.
